90% completed rebuild for this S13 convertible after Blake Ebeyer went too deep into the wall at Calder Park. Starting off with offtheclock_panels working their magic, pulling the strut towers and old tubs back into position.

We had a little more tweaking to do once we had the car, and then proceeded to undo some previous work that was done elsewhere, before making a start on the full tube front end, cooler piping etc.

The boot floor also got the chop, in order to mount a new fuel cell setup. More barwork/finishing touches to come on this to complete the setup, which will incorporate a design that's a bit more forgiving with walls!

Unfortunately, we ran out of time prior to the car needing to be at an event, so we got it to a drivable stage and will be back to finish everything else.

We can't wait to see everything painted up and looking pretty!

We weren't going to release too much on this before doing a bit more testing.. But we've decided to bring you along on the journey.

V1 of our small runner SR20 turbo manifold has started to come to life. There are some clear flaws in the collector design due to time constraints and not being sure on final placement prior to needing to get it together and running to get a base line. Smoother flow characteristics will be sorted out in due time.

The goal? To increase velocity and get the old Trust to be making full boost at 3.5k rpm whilst not causing too much restriction up top. On a tired old engine with stock cams, we managed to achieve the goal of 20psi @ 3500rpm. It did fall off around 6k rpm as to be expected with stock cams, but we now have some Kelford Cams 188-A cams and Kelford gears to drop in and see how that pairs up!

We would love to hear your thoughts on the small runner design and theory!

After seeing the set of 14x7.5/8j R101's we had on the shelf, Murry approached us in search of a 14x8/9J set, so we grabbed the 8's off the shelf and dug a "fresh" pair out of the vault and made his dream a reality!

Final sizes being 14x8 -15 and 14x9 -29. And of course, finished off with a set of 185/60R14 Kenda KR20 that we supplied and fitted.
