god to see cool things coming out of the workshop boys

just curious though, ive seen half a dozen 13b conversions in 86 and they have all got around having to modify the crossmember to that extent... how come you chose to drop the stearing rack that far? wont it play havic with bump stear? just curious george is all, not dissing

This is going to be an interesting drive with that cars low weight no doubt. What happened to the built 4AG that was in it before?

@fantapants:
we have seen other conversions too and were just not happy with the height and also how far forward the engine sits. the main adventage of the 13b is it compact design and all the weight is down low. we wanted to get the weight as low as possible so we did further mods. as this is using the stock fc3s turbo we had to comprimise a little beacause of the downpipe to steering colum clearance. Bump steer will be corrrected at the hub side

@Ivan141
It should drive like a drive, cant wait to have it finished. the 4age was sold to a customer
