Nice nice work keep us posted ,,
|
Some very nice fabrication work done there
|
unbelievable, keep up the good work!
|
thanks guys!
it's not much but im working on engine mounts and the front subframe, need to get the engine in the car to check some measures before i can continue. http://transport.molnsatra.se/bil/rx3/rx32.JPG http://transport.molnsatra.se/bil/rx3/rx3-3.jpg |
Quality work and better planning any luck with the milling
|
Maybe 3rotor engine or 4 rotor engine? It will be bad ass rx3!
|
been doing some more work on the drawings, i totally redesigned the front subframe, the plan is to use all stock bolt holes in the rx3 chassis making it 100% bolt on.. im not finished yet, some minor bugs needs to be sorted out.
http://transport.molnsatra.se/bil/20...sis4-liten.jpg the spindles are stock rx3 with customs hubs making 5x114,3 pattern, s6 rotors and calipers. will convert to coilovers so i can fit wheels with higher backspacing, even doing this it is still hard to get an acceptable scrub radius since the KPI angle on the stock spindles is pretty low but i think it will work out with low profile tires. The camber plates will give me a maximum of 2.5dgr negative camber. http://transport.molnsatra.se/bil/20...sis3-liten.jpg the rack and pinion is taken from escort mkII that will be shorten a bit to take bump steer to a minimum. The stock knuckles are reused (just switched sides) giving me about 50% ackerman. http://transport.molnsatra.se/bil/20...ssis-liten.jpg http://transport.molnsatra.se/bil/20...sis2-liten.jpg im eager to start doing some 'real' work... soon :-) |
Haha, we and our SolidWorks.. :)
|
I need to take classes in CAD..... the possibilities are endless
|
Man that solid works really lets you be creative. Nice...keep the drawings coming.
|
Did the body also, much easier to get correct rear axle width and wheel backspacing when i have everything on the computer..
im pretty happy with the ride height.. :) http://transport.molnsatra.se/bil/2012/kaross4.JPG http://transport.molnsatra.se/bil/2012/kaross5.JPG Will need smaller profile front runners :P http://transport.molnsatra.se/bil/2012/kaross6.JPG |
looks great,only the cage will need to be tucked up to the roof alot more to get the head room needed for clearance with a helmet.
|
great cad work.

I've seen 6foot and taller drivers in shorter cars have more than a foot of head room. |
The cage is just estimated and not adjusted to the body.. Will be hand trimming it in anyways :)

first time I post on the forum in a long time. This build thread is just awesome. Keep updating this man, I'm really looking forward to a finish project. Always have to admire clean work.
|
Car looks kool, im so tuned to this thread..............Awesome work so far
|
im glad you like it!
today i felt like doing some real work, i did a fixture for the front subframe. first i made a drawing http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...s/9dc5db3c.jpg cutting, drilling and tapping http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...s/aaf59707.jpg after some welding http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...s/8a3cfa07.jpg cutting out the brackets for the square tube crossmember http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...s/3f440773.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...s/29ae07a1.jpg bolted to the fixture. http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...s/f5fa8988.jpg |
congrats on the build.. and on the drawing my rx3 looks very similar.. atleast at it's current state..
|
