Re: Got My Work Cut Out For Me. My Build w/pics.
Looks like alot of work. Looking at your bracing, I know the reason why you put it there, but my mind is finding it hard to justify. Is it a secret, or is it more of a "just in case"?
Good luck with the car.

Ya the bracing is there because it is surpisingly flimsy one it is all apart. The clip just flopped around. I got braceing on the fenders to support that area from sagging and then across the A-Pillars and Front Strut towers to keep the frame horns from ------ing.
Again I know there is plenty in TO area, but that almost 3 hours away. I don't know of any hatches by me. The Closest RHD is a Teg Type-R in Kitchener, or the guy I know there who has a Skyline. I live in a little hick town of about 4500 people, NO ONE has ever seen a RHD around here!!!

i have to agree that the turbo is too small to make 350hp, maybe 300 if your lucky, anymore than that is pushing it, i ran that turbo on my stock z6 and it spooled at about 4k, with a built engine is going to spool probably about 3500 and fall off a bit top end, you'll want something that spools about 4500-5k if youre going for 350hp

Re: Got My Work Cut Out For Me. My Build w/pics.
hmm, I've never heard of the bracing thing. Looking at it is seems the A pillars would flex easily with the bracing, and the firewall doesn't interupt the floorpan near the bottom, or the roof tied to the A pillars tied to the fender frames.
I've read alot of write ups about those RHD swaps and I never heard of anyone bracing it. Just wondering if you know it's needed, or you are doing it for the just in case kinda thing.
