Bought the ceffy bout 8 months ago for a decent price just something to drive to work and back in. Then my partner bought a new mazda 3 and I aquired her lancer.. So we took the car back to Hervey Bay (thats where im from) and it sat in the shed and ran out of rego. Though to myself in this time I could put a car together and still be able to get to work and back. So the old rb25 came out of the ceffy and the 26/30 built started. Picked up a rebuilt rb30 off a mate here in brissy and then it all started. Sourced a rb26 head had it reco'd, light port and a set of tomei 270deg 10.25mm lift cams and tomei buckets/springs fitted also went for a single throttle setup for something different. Looking for a streeter to make 450-500rwhp all day every day.

So the things Ive collected on the way are:

Jun plennum

90mm throttle body

hks fuel rail

sard 800cc injectors

sard fpr

dash fittings

2 x 975 external pumps

haltech e11v2 patch loom and 3bar map sensor

crap load of dash fittings and braided line etc

Pulled the rb30 bottem end apart and found that it had been reco'd maybe 100km ago and is in very good condition.

ACL pistons

ACL bearings

Ballanced Rods/crank

Need to fit new water pump and a possible nitto oil pump/crank collar. Also looking for the turbo side of things at the moment maybe a 6boost manifold and a gt3540 or maybe T04z something along those lines as the power output is at the lower end of the scales and I want it to be a street car with decent response.

Got stuck into the engine bay with a mate thanks Keiron aka (Gtir-keiron) got it prepped and paintedd blue with green zerelick. Put it back together the next day.

so it started out like this:

thanks man should be interesting pretty much got eveything now so just gotta bolt it together and tune it fingers crossed itll be finshed very soon. It a bit hard when you live in brissy and the car is 3hours away :P

No worries man I'll get picks up asap, missed out on going home this weekend got called into work. Next weekend should see the wiring loom, engine in and turbo on and lines finished off! Not long now.

yeah will be cept ive been ripped off on my manifold and gate as ive bought one from a forum member and have been done $900 as its been over 2 weeks since ive paid for it and still havent recieved he also screwed over someone else on here too..

To be honest ant and i had the engine bay stripped down and painted in about 5 to 6 hours.

Motor already out of the car helped alot.Ant is really good with strip down work as he has pulled so many cars apart and put them back together again.

Wow anthony you got ripped off by a forum member dude? Name and shame time really mate and im sorry to hear about that.

I hope he comes clean and sends you the items mate really.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
