Part 9: Austin Allegro Type R Sleeper K20 Turbo build. Welcome to the long overdue update on Jonny Smith's Honda Civic Type R powered Allegro street sleeper project.
In this episode FabCo updates us on the turbo manifold fabrication, fitment of new ancillaries from Denso (using T7 Design alternator relocation kit and elec water pump), bulkhead reinforcement, pedal box and seat positioning, and the completion of the boot area panel work (covering that new independent suspension). There's also details of the K20 Honda's rebuilt gearbox (complete with Quaife ATB) that Dream Automotive managed.
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
To watch FabCo's progress on the car's build in more detail please head over to their YT channel: / fabcouk

Imagine hearing someone doing VTEC pulls and banging off the rev limiter in the distance, only to see Jonny screaming past a moment later in his Allegro. Polar opposites, and it couldn't be more perfect

Well, I had that experience in my heavily-modified Allegro 1.3 super estate, about 35 years ago. I pulled away up the slip road onto the M40 at Uxbridge, with a Capri 2.0 S trying to overtake me. I just squeezed the accelerator without even changing down and it suddenly got further away. The look of confused frustration on his face in my side mirror was a joyous moment in my life.

I confess I was quite taken by the original concept of a KV6 lump, but I am now appropriately excited by the Honda Type R plan. Also, it is a four, and therefore more "Allegro". I am both surprised and impressed by how original the car will appear to the casual glance. The hubcaps are a master stroke. People who know Allegros know Allegros. The hubcaps will fool many, despite the massive tyres. The colour and interior are also glorious. The Quartic wheel is sublime. It seems so close to completion, but I know how these thongs go. I'm looking forward to seeing it running in 2025.

I was originally more excited for the Retropower builds, using, as they are, the integra chassis and so on…. But seeing this now, I think this is going to have more of the sleeper about it, and I’m liking that a lot! Props to Adam for making full bespoke suspension! I’m guessing he’s a guy that really knows his ackerman! (I still don’t know what that is! Lol!)

All the Aggro needs now is some bespoke bracketry!

Hello Adam and Johnny, what a wonderful project! It is going to be really funny / amusingto see this car looking "normal" on the outside, but like a wolf in sheeps clothing, tearing around the track with all those "specials" behind! The level of engineering used for the mechanicals, bodywork and chassis is of the highest level(s) and so close to perfection!! Amazing!! Best wishes form Lincolnshire.
