i will be starting at my new job soon so ill be able to dump more money into this thing. not sure if thats good or bad....

 

"manifold pressure to high"

 

with the sanding done all we have left to do before sending it out for fab is
-mount the seat
-get the front hubs on
-figure out pedal/steering column position

also drew up a rough (very rough) diagram for the wiring for later on when we get to that point

heres the $$$$ shot for you guys

 

got to do a little stress relieving this weekend



we had a decently productive day today. got the wheel bearings all packed with some nice redline grease and threw the hubs on









i was on a roll and then i go to put the rotor on the other side and realized auto zone gave me the wrong one **** OUT MY ***

next, we test fit a wheel up front and banged some more **** down



you could say we have moderate steering angle







and this ratchet whip got taken out for a spin around the block


super stoked on the stuff were getting done and now that gaylight savings changed we have much more time for work. gonna try to keep this momentum we have and post more updates soon

 

^^^

das alotta angle

 

doubt that were gonna be able to use full angle with the height/wheel setup but its good to know we have it on tap

edit- a rough ballpark measurement of our front camber without any load on the suspension was 7.5 ish degrees. NEED MOAR

 

I just did my event with Abercrombie parts, although that wait is forever....my angle is so sick. I have zero offset wheels and the only thing that limits angle is the tire hitting the lca.

 

That 240's camber is all messed up, I think it needs an alignment.
Anyways kool build thread bro.

 

i test fit a wheel and it was hitting all over the place

messed up is cool

 

How wide?

 

^^ 15 x 8 xxr's Im running small wheels, cheep tires

 

so for those of you who wanted to see how wed fix the lateral rod clearance issue here ya go

yolo



cut first ask questions later. gonna have our fab guys box these in



finished a bunch of other little stuff today too just waiting on some hardware to come in to bolt the seat to the the bracket

 

Interested in seeing the fitment with Abercrombie kit, I'm getting my set soon I hope.

 

sub

 

hey man im looking at ordering some off the Max website for the solid mounts and bushings and arms, did you have any problems or anything ordering them cause they come from japan right?im trying to do the rear end and suspension on my fc and they have everything that i need.

 

No they have a warehouse/shop in the US that they ship from. Pretty good shipping. Parts and service was very impressive.

 

cutting the floor ALL SICK

 

drove this heap out to willow for round 1. after seeing all the visually unsettling cars there, it changed my want to build a cool drift car to a need to make one.



were just about to come up on the last bit of our funds so expect to see some more progress real soon

 

LOVE the red car. Well done

thanks and welcome!

been pretty busy lately and just got back from Vegas for the week so gonna try to get some progress going on this real soon

mods that make my life easier. chill

 

^^^ I just ordered a mess of these things today.

Bump for updates

 

I have a set of these on my s13, all i can say is don't overtighten them... they crush really really easily and then they don't work so well....

 

what are they?
