Not much progress the last while, working too much.. But more money means more parts so have a heap of stuff on order

I was thinking about using a dc2 shell, because I bought the full rolling shell for the subframe and 282mm brakes but it had a bad front end and rear quarter panel so went back to the original idea of a k20 EM1

Well I work random shifts, days and nights so lack of sleep & time is what is holding me up! Will be worth the wait and effort when done though!

Much plans for yours performance wise?

Also can't agree with you more, Brian at Karcepts is a gent to deal with!

Are you gonna get somebody over here to make you up the 3 inch exhaust or can you get them off the shelf.


With that set up she should be a quick one

Yeah i heard the k swaps are really noisey with the 3 inch exhaust.

Alot of lads on k20a.org use the vibrant back boxes and they dont seem to be too bad then. I think they do center boxes too
