Forcer Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I've been here for a few years, just lurking and reading. I don't think I've ever posted pics of it at any time. I originally bought it to become a replacement for my '83 Celica GT at the time. It wasn't in the condition it was advertised in, which I didn't find out until I had paid and took delivery of it. So I let it sit while I decided what to do with it. Since then it has sat in the garage as went through a few other car: '83 & '84 Celica GT, '07 Titan, '06 WRX, and an '06 STi (current daily). During this time I came to the decision to make the Z a track car. So I started deconstruction, as I have no use for much of the original equipment. Pic from ad: Dumped the L28, the plan is for a VK56DE. Loved the motor from when I had my Titan. All that remains of the the interior: S13 Rear diff, axles, all rear arms, front and rear knuckles: S13 rear subframe: This is going to be a slow moving project. I'm hoping to have it back on the ground in spring as a rolling chassis again, it's been on jacks for several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcer Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Haven't done much to the car since my original post, mostly due to very tight finances from a temp position I was working at. As of Monday I will be a full hire with a pay bump during the probationary period, and hopefully another one after it's over. What that means is once a few maintenance items are taken care of on my STi daily, I'll begin getting the S13 suspension conversion. So it looks like I'm still on the springtime goal for getting the car back on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notorious Nerd Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yours looks a lot cleaner than mine. What kind of a track car are you making? Drift, road course, drag, oval? I cant wait to see what you do with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcer Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 It'll be for road course mainly, with some autocross and hopefully hill climbs. While I am a fan of drifting, I'm not keen on the idea of stuffing it into a wall as soon as it's completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltall Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Make any progress? I'm interested in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcer Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 Not yet due to an unforeseen family situation. I should be done dealing with that in the next month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
