First off, I have a thread in the members' projects forum but, i would like to hear peoples responses and opinions. So if you've read my thread in the project forum this is all old info.
My eventual goals for this are 350whp and really good aero, or as good as you can get with an S30.
Short term plans
-Jegster 8-point weld in cage
-FIA approved seats, I'm thinking Sparco Sprint 5's
-Rota grid 16x8 +10 in bronze
-Still deciding on suspension...
-Carbon hood and black airdam
Heres the progress so far...
Car when I first got it
Lt1 and 4L60e auto tranny
Original engine and tranny getting pulled
Engine bay getting torn down and sanded
Interior mainly stripped
After sanding and cleaning the engine bay, it got spayed with POR-15. If you don't know, por-15 is a really tough paint that takes hardly any prep. It neutralizes any rust on contact and prevents it from coming back. The finish isn't like regular paint. You can tell it's tough by looking at it and it is similar to black powder coating. If you decide to do this go buy a harbor freight gun as it will likely ruin your paint gun in one shoot. Heres some more pics...
All components reinstalled into the engine bay, waiting for the engine to go in.
And the engine is in
Hope yall like it. And that is how it sits right now but, it should be getting completed sooner than later.
