Thanks guys,

I just started on front subframe v2.



My 20b middle iron has bad coolant channels so im going to try to save it.
Im completly milling out the outer o-ring support and adding a steel sleeve instead



Here the sleeve is installed

 

looks nice bro, keep it up...

 

thats a good idea.

 

Everything tacked together





Test mount in the car :-)



The inner flange has threaded holes and will be welded to the stock frame


Rack and pinion from ford escort, will be narrowed about 40mm

 

Awsome!
(And I know this guy )

 

Amazing! That CNC mill in your shed is making me jealous!

 

Thanks, yeah i love my mill :-)

Made control arm bushings today

 

Some of todays work

Made an alignment tool










Thats all for now..

 

Looking good cant wait to see more and more

 

Im glad you like it

 

Todays work

 

It's beautiful! So fun when you can try the parts

 

Subframe fully welded, one control arm is finished, just need to bore the hole to spec.

 

This is amazing, great work

 

#2 welded!


Test mount with bushings installed.. Im happy with the result!


Just had to install the subframe in the car :-)

 

 

So is your rx3 going to be a nice low fast car. , I love seen rx3 very low they looks so good

 

More fast, than low I hope?

 

nice idea with the coolant seal sleeve, looks somewhat familiar.

 

Not very low, but fast i hope :-)

 

Have you tried it? or know anyone that have?

 

sub

 

By the looks of it is going to Be fast

 

smaller scale fix, more or less for reused but still good housings as a preventative maintenance but i do like your idea, assuming the sleeve doesn't warp under the heat and cause gap variations or coolant to get under the sleeve and push around the bottom side of the seal(probably not likely, its path of least resistance is across the single face between rotor housing and seal).

another thing you may consider in addition to the pins is adding a few full length titanium studs through milled tension bolt holes. i am going to be switching from dowels to oversize studs because it just seems more logical than a hollow pin. the pins will bend under much less stress. the rods will be pricey but you should only need 4 with the pins in place as added insurance for that long block, depending on your power goals.

 

Boring the hole to accept the balljoint


Yay




Mockup!







All for now!
