mk SR20DET build

Well after buying my mk on evay for a project that needed £600 to finish i realised that 90% of the work needed doing again.
I sold the zetec motor and gearbox and all the other strange crap he chucked in on the deal.

That does not look like a mk chassis.

Good luck with the build, I also have this set up check out my build diary.

Yea it does look like the mk locost chassis that Martin did.

So yours is a mk engineering chassis.

Have you a better picture of that transit drag link?

The inside looks like one of the ally adjusters which fail. Might be wrong but the gold anodising looks familiar.

Yep it's a light gold ally ajustor. I didn't like the look of it tbh and is down on my list of bits to replace.

Made some good progress the past few weeks. I decided to mount the mx5 handbrake in the passanger side tunnel as I think it will give the interior a more symmetrical look plus it gives me a nice clean centre console without any obstruction for my arm.

Unfortunately I couldn't really sit the motor any higher. If ii had the bell housing would foul the tunnel. Am a stone mason by trade and create alot of one of shapes and carvings. So hopefully be able to put these skills to use

I have also had to relocate the alternator to the opposite side of the engine due to the stearing column. Ive cut up some brakets I had from a zetec conversation and the standard Nissan mounts.
