#262354 Hi, i'd like to introduce/ share to you a track tool a buddy of mine build.
He just whanted a street legal track car to hafe some fun.

He started it with a used EG4 / B16 swap

Image
Image

Then he started to tear it appart to start frome the bare shell

Image
Image
Image

The tarmack went out
Image

After that the old engine B16 had to go
Image
Image
Image

And the wheel mount went out to.
Image

So the first part is done up to the next one

#262358 Cleaning up the engine bay

Image

and prepping it for paint

Image
Image

after the new paint he started to re do the brake system/lines

Image

nothing fitted from the start like it should be so he had to do a full custom brake line set

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

not the cleanest way but it does its work Image
