hey. the other thread was getting 10 pages long..


too much <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=time&v=56">time</a> to flick through it all..

so here goes,

this may seem as a stupid question but WHERE TO START????

the <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=car&v=56">car</a> will be offf road for 7-8 months doing the conversion.

was thinking maybe this thread could be a step by step thing. so that all other noobs like myself can read along and follow if they like. 🙂


where do i start? wat will be getting done over next 7-8 months is, brakes, suspension, chassis mods .etc.

the engine and tranny will be fitted in as the last thing.

so where do i start???? so many things to do and i am confused. good place to start anyone? i was thinking maybe chassis. but wat should i do to it first???

the motor to go in will either be a 13bturbo (if legal) or an ej20t.

Many thanks for all the info and help in the other thread.

Anthony

If you want a step-by-step guide of an engine conversion then read my website;

http://offroadvw.net/bajawes/linktoV6.htm

I would suggest your better off making a website then trying to write an 8 months story on an internet forum. It will be much more readable. 🙂

man, your young. Now is the best time to learn.

This is my first site, I just signed up and started trying stuff. I sucked but I learnt and my current site isn't so bad;
http://www.baja.50megs.com/indexold.html

There's heaps of guys here with free sites. Most people are learning but have a go at it.

Pete Wood's site is another good site, about his EJ25 buggy build. It's nothing fancy but it's free and he did it himself.

hey 71,

thought you might like a tip. Go to yahoo geocities and get a free site. They teach how to build one too with online help.😉

Also this book is really helpful. My bro gave it to me for Christmas when he was sick of answering my quwestions all the time. 😀

Should be cheapish ($30) and it teaches you to make a website by doing exercises to make one. Once you've done one you can do it much quicker.
