SOLD - the car is now in FLORIDA...

 

This is my new project. It's a 1993 Festiva that will have a J-spec 180HP BPT installed. I also have a G25M-R tranny and axles for it from an 88 323 gt.

One thing to note is I'm not doing the same amount of work to this car as I did to my BP car. This will be just a performance upgraded car. Engine, tranny, suspension, brakes and some interior comfort upgrades. No paint yet. May get a respray next winter. It will be my daily driver car.

Be sure to check out my BP Festiva at: My BP Festiva .

 

Here it is

 

 

The BPT
1.8l turbo, 180HP

 

Haven't been able to get the car in the garage to start the project yet due to the disassembly of my parts car. So I drew up an exhaust and turbo outlet flange. I made up the exhaust flange out of 5/16" thick steel. This is all for a VJ20 turbo.

The radiator is from an old mini. It is a 4 core and so far it's cooling it enough. We'll see how it does this summer.

The car has ben on the road for a while and it is fast. No problems except the stock 323 wouldn't hold.
