can't wait

 

yep, in florida. i'm going to see the car again on wednesday or thursday so more pics then. most of the roll cage is done, the motor plates are in progress, front and rear struts and brakes on the way, rear end is next...

 

What model car will you use to get the rear end from? I hope everything will line up back there. Is it geared really low?

 

Make this a sticky please...

 

rickjones suspension, rear end is based on ford9in with chromemolly housing, strange3rd member with gundrilled axels to name a few parts

 

Moving right along, week 3.

Thats sick

 

Sick! Thinjim, what kinda of setup are you gonna have for it? turbo?

 

No.... it's so lightweight now it doesn't need it.

I found a D15B8 in excellent shape, rebuilt it, and shipped it down to him. All-motor non-vtec!

 

Oh...haha... No NA here... it's going see one big honkin turbo placed right in the center and built to scoop up air through the center of the one peice front end. more on that later next month.

 

You could have let the joke go on for a little more than 9 minutes...


This side of the forum is quite boring now... gotta keep myself occupied while I'm here.

 

are you going rwd or awd?

 

timings everything, oops. your right about it being boring, has been for a long time.

HQTL6SPD.. rwd fool, read the thread

 

timings everything, oops. your right about it being boring, has been for a long time. the only excitement is being sarcastic and taking pot shot at peeps from time to time. IE..

HQTL6SPD.. rwd fool, read the thread

 

All kidding aside, with that cage extending to the rear like that, where are your back seat passengers gonna sit? Is it going to affect your trunk space in any way? Ok, enough hi-jacking or your thread...sorry man.
Can't wait for the final product.

 

^^um yeah, this can isn't meant for passengers...

i read this thread a while ago, was it here that i read of something along a MR V8? that would be insane!!!

 

He's got a good point you know... where are the golf clubs gunna go? you should also consider 24's (rims) that would look quite nice imo.

 

24s? maybe that size in slicks...

EDIT: No need to sticky this thread. He'll update us as much as possible I'm sure. So the thread will keep making it's way back to the top.

 

I've decided on these wheels, they're on backorder should see them very soon.

would that offset fit on my car?




hahah really nice. can't wait to see more progress. mmm i'm lovin it
