Default My RA Build

Thought I'd throw this up here, been a long haul and still have a way to go but its getting there finally!

Had the car for a while not really planning to get too serious with it, was looking more to buy one already modded as I CBF with all the work. Then one day it all changed, decided to do build my own.

Heres where it all got serious, bought a JDM 99 import and used that for the swap. Swapping the compleat loom and interior bits I need will make future wiring and parts more compliant.

I have no space at either my work or at home to leave everything half done so leased a warehouse off a mate for a few months to get most of the major conversion done.

Excuse the Iphone, I never have a decent camera on me.



Loom of the 99 on the floor. we managed to do it without cutting a single wire and fortunatley all gromit holes are the same, except for the steering column which we welded the sleeve off the old to the new so it would fit snug.




Gutting the 99




All interior bits gone ready to remove sound deadening (Dash crossmember and column from the 99 already there)




Dry ice is so much fun.



Residue all cleaned up with some petrol.


The B4 Heads were also compleaded at the same time, some of the porting work:



That was all about 5 months ago, have not had much of a chance to get anything else done since.

The car is now back in my warehouse tucked away waiting for the engine to be compleated. once thats done its off to get turbo & cooler piping fabricated, fuel systen finished and computer wired in. then bolt on all the fancy bits.

Bit of a spec list so far:

Will be keeping the older front bar as I want the 555 WRC look, and to be very unassuming from the outside.
