Gidday! I remember this build from lurking on the astina gt forums, so clean!

Any big future plans other than the turbo?
 
Always great to see a build thread started, thanks for posting and I'm looking forward to your updates! 😁

Turbos literally the last thing it needed. Will be a street car that goes to a track every now and then. I haven't driven it for almost 3 years because I blew a headgasket.

Hence finally building engine/gearbox and slapping a snail on.

Here's the current state...

Reckon that intercooler is big enough? :D

Was that radiator custom made or an off the shelf piece?, I'm looking for a mishimoto alternative that might be easier to get here
 
(y)(y)

Why the 626 ball joints over 323?
And is it '97 specific or is it all GF 626... '97-/02 is ok?

Pwr off the shelf. Had to be made though which took 3 weeks. Was contemplating Mishimoto, would have been more expensive though. Best I was quoted was $600 USD that includes fans and shipping. We had a sale here recently so PWR was cheaper. Yet to work out fan placement yet as room is tight with the turbo/manifold combo.

Intercooler come from a skyline. Needs a bit of modification to fit how i want it. It was cheap since it was used

GF 626, Can buy them separate from the control arm. Otherwise would have had to buy new control arms.
 
Just bulk uploading some pics showing prgress over the years as in my astina gt page in first post, starting from 2011 when I bought the car, pardon the quality of images. 2011 remember hahaha
