Milled a flange for the rear iron




Fully welded and milled flat


Making a cone



Made a tool so i could bend in the press


Getting there

[QUOTE=gusfd3s;10738577]I bought this car back in 2006, i started doing a backhalf/4link conversion but the project was too big for me at that time since i had pretty weak fabrication experience,

Well, there seems to be a massive increase in your fab skills now. Keep up the great work.

Hi there. I'm from Sydney australia. I am also building a rx3 coupe.
I was wondering if you would do a rx3 enthusiast a big help.

Would it be possible to get a copy of all your drawings. I don't mind paying a fee. I hope to hear from you soon.
my email is

Awesomeness! Any updates?

gusfd3s

There has been som changes to the project.. i had a 20b thick center iron and a crank so i thought id make a 20b engine out of 90% 13b parts.

Perfect!


Going full 12.7 stud kit. Alot of machining!


Rear iron finished with a new chamfer


Solid dowels


Modified center iron for direct oil feed+breather


REW rotors has been side clearanced and the assembly fully blanced.
Block ready for assembly




Adding another runner to the manifold

gusfd3s

The thick center iron was in really bad shape, the o-ring support was almost gone.



I milled out a 5.5mm wide groove in the iron to fit a new sleeve

Stunning work, love the updates. The o-ring groove is awesome, definitely looks like something that might start popping up elsewhere now. Keep it up!

gusfd3s
