Hey Guys,
Sorry in advance as this is a question which has probably been repeated as nauseam, but I am looking for information on buying an ITR wreck and using a great deal of the parts on an EG. I would like to know what parts are compatible between the 2 models and what sort of costs are involved in a project like this.
I understand that there are probably already quite a few posts or threads on this already. To contribute to this forum, I will build a knowledge base for this topic - similar to what [danny] has done for the engine compatibilities with EG’s. I will be doing a great deal of research on this topic in the coming weeks/months, so no doubt I will have a good understanding of this topic when I’m done.
I understand that the following parts can be used:
-B18c engine
-gearbox
-front seats (recaro)
-rear seats
I am not sure if the following parts are compatible or can be customised for the EG.
-ABS brakes, Master cylinder, etc.. Basically the whole package
-air conditioning/climate control
-suspension
-dash & speedo installed and working
I would like to get an approximate price guide of:
-an EG shell
-an ITR wreck with realistic kms (where no damage is done to the engine/gearbox and all brakes, suspension, and interior goodies are included - and everything is good condition)
-cost of installing engine and gearbox
-engineers certificate (is this required?) YES
Some resources for after parts have been sourced:
-where can I source an EG shell
-where can I source an ITR wreck
-which workshops have done this conversion before
Are there any other factors that should be considered:
-approximate price of insurance for a driver between 20-30 years old. I am 25, but thought it would be helpful to add the age range for others researching this topic. Obviously a 20 year old will pay more than a 30 year old.
-Any problems while registering
-Is there anything to watch out for keep this conversion road worthy and defect free
I am based in Sydney.
Thanks.
