Hi Guys, haven't been on here in ages and was just contemplating doing a 3dr SR20 project, what you recon?? worth a try? has it been done before successfully? your opinions are valued

 

There was a guy in the for sale section who had an sr20det converted sierra 5dr drift car.
Can't see it being too difficult being a 4cyl turbo motor already rwd.
Great engine too.

There you go!!!

 

only the one and its not a 3dr, i am seriously interested now as i already have all the bits, cheers Vaughant. that is an awesome build, certainly been done properly. Just need to source a 3dr shell now!! Anyone you know that can help???

 

There was one on retrorides.
I'll investigate!!!

 

Thanks bud

 

Sold for £600 on retrorides a few weeks back.

 

My mate has a brand new 3dr shell with sunroof sit in his barn I pretty sure he has collected all the body panels and kit as well. He was going to build it up but he can't even be arsed to put his other 3dr back together lol I'll ask him tomorrow if he'll sell it and get back to you

 

Nice one, cheers mate

 

I spoke to him mate and he said he would sell it. I think he wants in the region of 2.5-3k for it though but is a brand new shell. I'd you're still interested I can on you his phone number.

 

To be honest mate, i wouldn't want to ruin a brand new shell with my project, that would be a crime i'm after an old tatty one that needs some TLC, but if i cant find one soon i will let you know. Cheers mate

 

There was a light blue mk1 3 door a while ago the had a sr20 . Was a drift car with white rivet on arches

Love that

 

awesome, definitely makes me wanna try. watch this space

 

Here's a good starter for you bud. eBay item no.130811327933

 

personally i dont see the point i really dont when i yb can drop striaght in no messing about

 

i would love a 3dr with a saab 204

 

i dont really see the point with an sr20 ?
with a rb26 or a 2jz yes but why not just use a yb ?
its a genuine question i dont see the logic ?

 

i like the idea
ok its not a straight forward bolt in conversion
but i bet its not that hard realy

it'll be a LOT cheaper than a yb conversion
and its nice to be a bit differant
go for it mate,
i thought of doing it to my mk 2 escort but opted for a yb instead
but the old nissan lump looks like its got plenty tuning potential and quite reasonable for prices

 

Because SR bits are the cheapest about at the moment and you can get 400bhp with no issues, plus it's unusual and i like unusual lol
I am in the process of buying another saff though and this might fall by the wayside to be honest, just curious to see who else had done it nd ws it worth doing.

 

SR bits are dirt cheap at the moment and it's usable power with no lag, RB26 and 2JZ are just to big and would completely put the car out of ballance. i was going to put a RB25 in my s13 but decided that it would make the front end too heavy and loose all balance, RB26 and 2JZ would be even worse. i think tht if you want to go for something crazy for dragging up a strip go for the RB or JZ and shed loads of money but for track and balance go for SR or YB cheap and usable, well cheaper anyway

 

cheers mate, very tempting....... there is a sR 20 mk2 on driftworks and i've seen it a few times at Lydden hill, looks and goes bloody awesome. i got lots of respect for people who do these kind of builds. Loads of attention to detil and when faced with a problem they don't give up they just carry on even through the pain and lack of money

 

One word.......unique lol go for it you might come across alot of this lol
