Shane and i have been busy today....

sr20 lined up for welding after modifying sr20 mount brackets:
Image

sr20 fitted nice and low, sump sits 15mm lower than xmember:
Image

shifter hole cut in tunnel to suit gearbox, gearbox fitted for gearbox xmember modifying:
Image

ikeya 4throttles fitted with plenum(plenum doesnt fit properly as fouls with clutch master cylinder):
Image

ikeya 4throttles fitted without plenum, can easily fit 100mm trumpets: :D
Image

lower front stance, front suspension to be modified for correct ride height:
Image

HUGE thanks to Shane for his work/help/advice today on fitting the sr20 and 5spd, i couldnt be happier with the result.
this week will finish off welding the sr20 mount brackets and the gearbox xmember, and grind the sump further to clear the draglink.
unfortunately the jasma 4-2-1 extractors dont fit due to hitting the idler arm, so will be looking at other options for extractors.
