Build story
Like others in the past I drove this one across Canada to Ontario where the work finally began. The SR20 was removed and engine bay & chassis cleaned up. Followed up by top end removal and rebuild at a reputable local machine shop. On the assembly end I carefully fitted a thicker metal head gasket, new seals, hoses replaced etc. Fuel system was upgraded, full exhaust mods and a couple gauges to monitor a few important parameters.
The car is a blast to drive and not over the top. Ive literally created a very reliable street machine.
