project 2020 shooting for 400rwhp

[slimcat7m3]

Hey guys made a new purchase. I just moved my shop and god forbid have to work on customer cars so not much is getting done with mine. I am trying to keep it as dirty as possible. Once again don't mind the filth.

ok guys a little more progress, I moved the engine back one inch and finished the trans crossmember. I had a junk e21 radiatior laying around that looks like it will work perfectly. I also redrilled the holes for the e21 rack to mount to the steering arms. I measured and e21 and drilled my holes at about 4 7/8" so the turning speed and circle should be better.

worked on engine wiring for the last few days. These will be the only wires in the engine bay, I am now relocating the factory fuse box. As you can see I took a few pounds out of the sr20 wiring harness

some pics of the crossmember, its just tacked I need to finish tig welding. Got lucky on one thing, heater hoses line right up.

One thing lucky out of 100, not bad

Im dying to get this thing running but I still have a ton of money to spend on this sucker.

I've got the engine set back and down as far as I can, so I can't wait to see how the weight distribution is.

I have a s13 240sx rear diff and sub frame laying around that I am going to use.

This sounds interesting. I've gone the the helical LSD R200 route.

Any one with more rearend opinions. I want to actually drive this thing sometime in my life. I see the touring turbo with 350rwhp running an e21 lsd. I think the e21 rearend may be strong enough (maybe) because I only have 205 rear tires and the light weight of the car (no traction) so they will just spin. I don't plan on putting on slicks but do plan on spinning a tire here and there.

For the price of the e21 lsd vs. custom rear end I could go through a few of them and still have it be cheaper.

Let me know what you guys think, all opinions are appreciated.

Thanks

If i was in America i would go for the E21 LSD. The main reason im not is because they are $800+ each by the time you get them to Australia (and i calculated that price at a favorable exchange rate - now, it's probably at the 1k mark). Basically an expensive excersize if even one e21 LSD diff lunched itself.

How about entire e30 rear subframe and diff? the LSD's are cheaper than e21's, and you have some nice gearing options. You already have the flare width to tuck it under. A bit of welding and you're golden.

And the diff's are twice as heavy as e21's you so it helps get to 50/50 weight balance

This is what i will be doing on my project , just got the entire e30 back end of a 325 for £100 which i dont think is to bad

Nice project , nice to see something so diffrent

Any updates slimcat? Very cool project!

I wish we could have seen this to the end, but I talked to slim cat and he sold the car and took the SR out..

[boxy02]

Wow, he put alot of work into that. Well, on to bigger and better I suppose. Thanks for the update.

Damn thats a shame. At least we saw the "S2002" (Honda S2000 motor car) to the end...

[harrym2]

this is a shame , I would of liked to of seen the finished car as it is so different from the usual projects

Do you have a link for the finished s2002 build?
