Everything has been fromed from the original SR K11 so everything is available from the new car. Wishbones, shafts, box, engine, mounts, linkages.. the lot. ? What you doing, You fitting CG13 into K10?? Yup! though Ive just founnd out that I can use the K10 box if I get hold of a pre-facelift cg10 flywheel. Though Ive also seen that yours was originally a 1.4? And its a facelift so I don't think the bits I need are gonna fit

And its a facelift so I don't think the bits I need are gonna fit Your mistaken dude. Everything from the CGA14 was removed a long time ago. We ran an OBD1 SR20 on an OBD2 Late 2001 K11 for 4 years. Everything thats available from the Donor car is '93 so as early as it gets for K11.. .. so these bits I have will fit. I would advice you to fit the CG13 engine and matching box as the 1.0 clutch wont last very long.. Its remarkably smaller than the CG13 item. However the CG13 clutch is quite strong. Weve ran 163.4lbft through a standard CG13 clutch and no slipping. Regarding shafts, I would just cut and sleeve the Shafts as they are the same diameter. easy peasy.

	Sweet! Ive got the cg13 motor and using LUK clutches you can mix a cg10 and cg13 friction plates together to get a decent cg10 clutch, but if youve got a cg13 box and flywheel thats ace! How much are we looking at for the gearbox, shafts (if they are different to the k10) all 4 engine mounts, start motor, alternator and shifter linkage?

	Some inspiration? We made this a while back. Started the Conversion with a turbo but stripped it back to just a tuned SR20.. 160 ish bhp was enough.

	Had a Track impreza in for some steelwork. Rear arches were badly repaired so we Cut out the rotton steel, new stuff welded in and a nice lick of paint. Only a couple of pics but you get the idea. Weld is obviously not fully finished in one pic.. etc etc.. BOTH sides were done.! Total painted was: Rear bumper, Bootlid Both rear quarters Both rear doors

If painted, what color?

	Well it was red originally, so I'd be looking at red again if it were to be painted. Stephen

	I know its a bit modern but a chance to show off.. Before: ( Were not as expensive as people think!!! ) .. and AFTER!!! This was both big side panels and included the underside of the bonnet, as it was silver. Bonnet, bumper and both front wings blend. Well under £450 for total job which he thought was very reasonable.
