We started off by finding a two door shell, stripped for parts when imported, so just a bare shell.
The shell had already been painted in BMW CSL Grey and just needed some finishing touches, the cage was also half installed.

We then started sourcing all the missing trim parts we needed and the 2 door sat in the corner of the workshop for a few months






Then I happened to have a "small Chassis failure" on my personal version 8 JDM STi



so we decided to do a complete newage classic conversion into the two door using the DCCD 6 speed and full STi Engine, dashboard and loom from the v8 JDM






The shell went off to Langworth motorsport near lincoln (a company we work with regularly) for the cage to be finished to a high standard










The painting then began








we decided to do all the underneath matching









then in goes the transmission and running gear





aswell as brake lines, brakes, suspension and wheels










then the wiring began






bride lightweight seats arrived


and the interior plastics went in







Engine was carefully installed. 2.0 Semi Closed JDM Version 8 with AVCS heads and a twin scroll turbocharger





The exhaust was then fitted, including a full custom screamer pipe set up decat and a nurspec for the rest




All the panels, lights and wiring were then finished to a reasonable standard, this was never meant to be a show car. its meant to be abused. but once she all went together this is how she looked










And this is how she goes. 1.35 Bar with a basic running in map at the moment, hopefully increasing to 1.7 bar after winter using the carberry ROM on the standard ECU

Fair play to you fella, looks like a fair bit of work gone in to that, especially when it's only been built to be abused

Bet it's a good bit of fun tho, I love my JDM blob so with less weight I bet that goes rather well

its a pain in the **** ! we had to be cut around the cage though so that made it harder, we used the newage support bar modified, cut then welded to the cage with the newage heater matrix and loom squeezed in, luckily most of the holes through the bulkhead for water feeds for the heater matrix lined up.

no door cards are miles off! 2 door ones were closer than 4 door ones but it will still need some modifications to work.

works well doesnt it!

Nice job but, personally, I couldn't handle the green cage. I'd have done it in the same colour as the car myself, but each to their own and, as I say, overall great job.
