new build from france nissan turbo!

[vtecmike]

Hi, ive been on the forum for a few months now, well since buying "the book"
as ive wanted to do this for a while,
were out in france im english and my
brother in law will be helping me with this, as he happens to be an mecanical engineer and has just finished his scratch built ariel atom style track car

it will be built as a track car,

i wanted at least 200bhp
so i decided on a nissan 200sx for the donor , i really wanted a honda s2000 lump but that would blow the budget!



I bought my donor nissan,1 owner, totally standard with just over 80,000miles on the clock,

just had to pick it up!

which meant hooking up the trailer for a 1000mile round trip back to the uk, in less than a weekend, what a mission!

that done i couldn t wait to see how she run!
like a dream, goes really well sweet!
next ordered a chassis pack from talon , it arrived in france in a few days, briallant

The bro in law was excited and luckily was on holiday so he had it all pointed in the day, what a surprise when i turned up at the garage!

my job was to sort out the nissan , by the end of the day it was stripped, so we could start measuring!!

next is to finish the rest of the welding of the chassis
present the engine and then give it a strip down and a good service

then onto the suspension.

we are considering using the nissan hubs , but would it just be easier to go with sierra hubs?
my main concern is i really want 13" rims, is it possible?
