My gtst brake setup if for sale now, comes with everything other than the discs. So you get the calipers and adapters and i may even have a set of 5 stud gtst discs somwhere. I can also do the same setup but for s13 brakes for a bit cheaper. pm me if interested

Hhahahaha was trying to keep this quiet :lol: the SR had stock struts, it'll be fine :( :thumbsup: Whats the worst that could happen? :shock: The tubbing conversation has been had, several times and at this stage we are going to run with what we have got and address it if it becomes an issue. The hardest thing is finding the balance between road car and race car practicality. If it was a dedicated race car life would be a lot easier in the fact that we could just do what needs to be done and who cares about how it drives or will it pass certification etc. But believe me if it makes huge power and trys to kill me then tubbing is on the cards :burnout:

I looked into the sr20 before going rotary and from my calculations the money i would need to spend on the bottom end and head to make the same power as the rotary would be heaps more. By time you buy pistons and rods cams etc. The setup im going to end up with isnt goin to owe me a lot of money (in comparision to an sr20 of the same calibre) Plus nothing sound as good a bridgeport with a giant turbo :thumbsup:

Hahahahahaha awesome engine, i saw this for sale a couple of years ago at the nationals at the rayglass stand, they reckon its good for 1000hp with the right bolt ons and tune. Still more than im willing to spend though.
