How about lightening the car up a bit as well...
if its a long term project as you've stated.
K20 / K24 frankenstein, is the go IMO,
But to do it properly its going to cost big $$,
You'll only end up using the block of the K24 for the displacement.
The other parts would be K20 parts.
yes thats what ill consider doing when i rebuild the engine
my budget for this is 4-5k, do you think this is do-able? it does not need to be done straight away nor am i in a rush, just want to collect information so i can start preparing and collecting these items for future build. thanks guys, please provide me your opinions
What is the purpose of your build? What is your objective? Best 0-400m time? Circuit racing? Fastest Euro?

Yes i want a really fast euro mainly for track/circuit. And i do believe the euro is a very good base especially the chassis and doublewishbone front and rear suspension, its just that is heavy...if it could be stripped by 100/200kg, i think it will be a very amazing car.

Don't get all caught up by the double wishbone suspension. You will end up spending a lot of money on the car and when we both turn up at Wakefield, I will still match your time with my stock Euro just because I have more practice. Even worse, a $7000 EG with a D16Y, thick rear sway bar and coilovers will beat both our times!
If I were you, I would practice with your auto Euro on Wakefield, while you save up for the manual conversion and all the other goodies.
Then I'll have to bring in the big guns (commodore) lol. I like Ben's suggestion of going on a weekday open day. Less people and cheaper. BYO GPS timing.
Instead of preparing your car for the track like hardcore and assuming you have never been before, you should go as is and slowly adding those mods you have planned and experience the difference mod by mod. Your satisfaction would be much greater than jumping in there thinking you got the best car and a shit box pwnz you.
yea thats true, i appreciate your input guys. Hurry up and book in a track day so we can all go! im really looking forward to it!
Are the stock pads ok for track?
Stock pads are ok for 1 or 2 sessions. Then you will find that they don't bite anymore because of the overheating. If you thoroughly cool the brakes in between sessions, then it will be ok. But it is difficult unless you go for a looooooong drive. I tried driving for 10 minutes between session at the speed limit (I think was 80 or 100km/h) and the brakes were still not cooled down enough.
