KKtrips Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Looking sweet . Love your work - it is inspiring and makes me wish I could fabricate something as impressive as this. PS - this top radiator hose looks to be under a fair whack of tension. Perhaps something to look at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe-arce Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Oh thanks man. I'm glad people are enjoying it. Re. the hose... The photo looks worse than it actually is. I probably could've cut the hose fractionally longer but it's not too bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe-arce Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Anyone nearby that can/ wants to wire up this beast? The whole car needs wiring along with the engine/ecu- link g4 Also keen to use something like the race pak smart wire or something. Every one feel free to input ideas if you know good ones.

shaneo Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Nice hose clamps I have a load in my shed I used them and found that they didn't grip as well as I thought and changed back to the cheap ones . maybe keep an eye on them . Cant wait to see some paint on it Looking sweet . Love your work - it is inspiring and makes me wish I could fabricate something as impressive as this.

Celica RA45 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 what color are you going for, white lightning or fire red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe-arce Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Thanks for the heads up on the hose clamps. Will keep an eye peeled. Undecided on paint colour ay. Leaning towards the standard escort colour Olympic blue. Will see what happens. Might just end up going white then getting something designed up and wrapping it.

Celica RA45 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 so if the wheel is on full droop does that mean the rack ends will hit the sway bar ,wouldnt it be better to go over the top of the rack and extend the rose joint ends with a longer rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe-arce Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 so if the wheel is on full droop does that mean the rack ends will hit the sway bar ,wouldnt it be better to go over the top of the rack and extend the rose joint ends with a longer rod Na nothing hits in all droop/ compression/ steering lock situations. Going over the top will require a new bar to be made up. Will do it eventually but this will do for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anglia4 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Man that needs a new page haha so painful waiting for it to load. WHERE IS THE GUARD ON YOUR MEATSAW!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 ^ this. And I need one of those meat saws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe-arce Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Yea I reckon. How does one go about skipping to the next page? Yea should've had the guard on. But was just doing a quick cut and the old 'she'll be right' was the loser on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe-arce Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Got my meat saw from mitre10 mega. Works a treat on a multitude of materials. I'm not sure if it's rated to run at angle grinder rpms but that grinder of mine is variable speed so I slow it down a bit just in case.
