So got a new project on the go plan is to drop a b20 in the car in summer.
So I was on the hunt for a ek4 ideally but then a EM1 came up fairly local cheap and tbh EM1 are not my favourite shape but they can be made to look good and there abit different main reason I bought it though is because of how clean the shell is and the arches not even a speckle of rust on the car still on original arches took the shitty rubber bits off where water collects up.
So went to view the car Saturday big standard owned by a old man all its life then a young lad for 6 months so left a deposit all seemed fine bit of a knock from front think It's a gearbox mount or could be the shitty induction kit that flaps about, Half way home had a big problem I stalled it and when I tried to start it back up the car kept cutting out and wouldn't start, seemed fuelling related it would start and die instantly, after finally getting it home I realised that if you start it and flick the ignition on and off fast it would start so think the problem is faulty ignition switch got a spare one of them from the coupe that I'm breaking but would appreciate any advise that anyone could help me, big thanks to the guy in a vxr that helped me push the car off the roundabout safely I'll never slag off a Vauxhall again Hahahah.
Got a fair few plans for the car going to try prep abit for when b20 goes in so its all as smooth as possible:
Lower it the coupe I'm breaking has 40mm springs so I'll put them on temporary until I buy coilovers
Wheels and decent rubber
Tidy up bodywork bumpers need spraying bit of lacquer peel on both woudnt mind a bys if anyone's got one
Full exhaust system 2.5"
Recaros, steering wheel, ek9 carpet
Ek9 headlights
282 fronts
Little subtle bits
Picture of me and my mate at petrol station just after I picked it up, some of you might recognise the ek4 is my old one I had a few years ago he's just bought it off the guy I sold it to.
Swapped the stupid flappy induction kit on my dinner only temporary, until I buy a AEM, just to see if it shuts up the knocking noise if not I'll order polybush engine and gearbox mounts.
So it's going to be kind of a double build I'll do another post later with engine specs and how far I am at the moment not going to be a mad high comp b20 just a pretty basic one.
