1993 BRG NA6 - Staying NA always

I’ve tried to do a build thread before on another forum but I was honestly rubbish as keeping it remotely up to date. But I shall endeavor to be better this time.

What I first purchased was a pretty lame 1993 Eunos Roadster imported somewhere around 2000 that had been handed round a few owners before being butchered by someone using it as a track toy. When I collected the car I had to bring along a steering wheel and gear knob to allow it to be driven!

Without going too deep into it, since I bought the car it has received a fresh interior, a few sets of wheels, couple of roofs and a couple of attempts at a good suspension setups. Enough words, have a few pictures for prosperity (I’ve no idea how many i’ve lost to photobucket) in some sort of order;

And we come to the fateful day that the engine finally gave up. I've only myself to blame really. The signs were there, puffs of smoke on downshifts, very smokey on startup etc, but I just kept saying i'd get round to it.

So here we are! Head and block ready to go to the shop and be made ready for a rebuild. I'll be sticking mostly stock I think. Change the cams, skim, and lots of new stock spec parts in. Not looking to make mega power, I think I'd like to aim for 130BHPish which I think should be achievable.

Oh yeah, and I like wheels…both for the ground and my hands.
