Well right now with one of the friggen thread holes stripped i have decided to go with Disc front and rear. But the problem is that i don't know where to start.
The engines that i have i have decided on are either a 253 V8 Holden , Nissin SR20DE or a fuel injected old V6. With the engine choice the SR20 will have aprox.. 250HP worth of modifications, there fore making it the most powerfull engine listed. So im guessing that i would need a good front end ?
But i have no idea of what to get as i want to run 19" or 20" bling bling rims. All i would like to run slotted rotor's aswell if the makes a difference

253 Don't bother. sr20 = 4cyl = nice motor but do you really want a 4cyl fb/ek?
rb30et is the way my friend

Well i would go with a RB30 but i don't know if the car can fit a RB30. Also i dont want to be running a turbo motor or V8, i know i mentioned a V8 but i thought it might look good with a V8. Just because i want to drive it every day when it is finished. Also i want enough power to get it sideways and doing somne pretty decent burnouts. sorta like the mustang out of the fast and furious tokyo drift. Old skool drifter.

Good Luck with that!!!
Hope you've got deeeeeeep pockets......
EK/FB's aren't the greatest handling car. Best to go a 350/350/9" combo... at least you'll be able to do burnouts.

well so far we have got around $22,000 to spend on it, plus most of the work i will be doing myself as i want to put more money towards bit's i cannot do myself, Like brakes,diff,electrical,paint and re-trim.

I just don't think FB's N EK's are very well suited to drifting, they are too tall and narrow to get a good steady grip on terra firmer, very much unlike your usual jap style sports car.
$22000 is a good amount to have to spend on a project car, but be careful it can get burnt up pretty quickly, especially with the mods you are talking about, Trev

lol that would be fun to drive, it has the same pod as my camry has, but i think i will save the turbo for my commodore. But if i get another engine will i have to put back seats belts in?
