man sexy, im so glad a lot of you guys live out here in so cal it seems to be rotary central out here, i remember when i was building 240's people would offer to help but they always lived out of state or very far. But i know so many people out here in so cal that are into rotaries its starting to get ridiculous. Now if i could just reprogram myself so i can stop thinking in terms of piston motors lol.
Car is lookin super hot, makes me really want to get started on my starlet. Once i get it done im going to have to hit some of you guys up and we should do an old school cruise in so-cal. mmmm mid 80's and older rotary powered cars mmmm. Man what a sound that would be like 10 of us rolling down the freeway lol. Out of curiosity did anyone go to jccs last year and see my bright ass orange car there ? A couple of peoples rx's look familiar and i could swear i saw them there. Keep up the good work on the car, it was interesting to see someone else that is using 4 link right now with a ford explorer rear end. Thats what im going to do but im keeping the 4 link and buying groundcontrol coilover conversion kits for front and rear, except ill be running mr2 struts that are shortened slightly up front and camaro shocks in the rear all adjustable koni's though. Subscribed i think this thread is where im going to get my motivation to finish the car from lol. Gotta love oldschool where you have to custom fabricate 90% of the parts because no one makes em lol Thumbs up on the car man im lovin it |
this is gonna be one sweet deuce when it's finished. there's going to be a car show at UCI next week mang. you should enter it in the old school class. we're all going. :)
|
yeah, i will be entering my old school 04 honda accord V6 to that car show. Im sure they wont know the difference between the "real old school" and the "other old school" that joins JCCS.
|
Welcome back! LOL
Nice work mang!! |
thanks man who knows i hope to see you driving that thing around sometime, you cant miss my car lol its the only orange starlet you will EVER see in so cal bwahaha my friends see me coming down the freeway from like 2 miles away, my one buddy calls it the orange dot and always gives me the finger when he drives by going the opposite way on the freeway lol
|
great work, and beautiful paint!!

Thanks Man! Got it fired up last weekend. Started on the first try. It is suprising quiet. Flying Steve out to tune it at the end of January. Hopefully, I will get 400 to the rear wheels. |
Car looks great :icon_tup:
It's going to move on down the road too, you'll love the 500R.....make sure all four wheels are pointed straight ahead when you hit full boost :D |

big props to Rene and Gazo. they did a good job on your duece. :icon_tup:
but on the other hand, when is it gonna see the track? :) Yes they both did a great job with the work I could not do. It never would have got done without them. As for track time...Hmm, let me see...I'll probably run it into tree before I have time to get it to the track. :p: |
I meant to say the turbo plumbing and such. :)
:rlaugh: on the track |
Do you have anymore pics of your under carriage? I don't care if they are from different angles or the side, just want to see. I am thinking about doing the same thing with mine with an 8". What are the tire sizes and may I ask what the width of the axle is. Is the axle out of an explorer? Sorry for all the questions, just got motivated. Thanks.

Looks great and congrats on the start up. Us local OC'rs have to get together and make a trip to the dragstrip one of these days.

Rear is out of a 97+ explorer. If you get that year or above, you get disc brakes, and either a 3.73 or 4.10 gear. Plus, they are big axle 31 spline. I got mine off of ebay for $325 to my door.
I am not sure of the width. I basically took my stock rear end to the fab shop and had them match it up. So, if you can measure yours you should be able to get the dimensions needed.

Thanks for the reply, I have been looking, but have found them at $650+. I think that rear is also suppose to come with a trac lock. Do you know if it does?
