Awesome work so far.

I am loving the mods you have made so far. I ran the same kind of adjustable struts in my race car.

I have just swapped the adjustable struts over to my '75. Are you running adjustable camber plates also?

Your brake conversion looks awesome. I did my brake conversion is using a Volvo 4 pot caliper and BMW E30 vented rotor.

Avengers make great race cars, can't wait to see the rest of your build. What kind of racing are you going to do? Rally/track/hillclimb?

  Waaooo! great job!
The diameter of the disc brakes remain the same?
With this engine it's going to be hell!

SR20DE looks great. Nikolai just did the same conversion in his Avenger.

Hey mate - I'm in China for work at the moment.

I've finished the SR20DE conversion (although still needs some tuning - faulty TPS etc) - I'm back in Auckland on the 31st, if you're interested in checking out the car.

You can also see my progress thread for some photos. You will be very pleased with the results once you get it going!

I strongly suggest you flare out your guards and run big wheels - I have 225's on the back (225 50 15) from memory and it still spins up ridiculously easy - even on Toyo Proxes4 which definitely aren't bad tyres.

What are you doing for the pedal box? I've got my pedal-box made up to use the stock pedals and run the clutch MC under the dash with a second thing for fluid up in the engine bay.

I've got a Hilux diff in the back with custom drive-shaft and my 2" exhaust that i had made for the Avenger lined up right up - just needed a flange.

Running the same brakes as Richard up front and S14 standard calipers on the rear.

Using a radiator out of a fork-lift to keep it super cool, and the air-intake is from inside the right guard.
