Popular Post lownslow Posted June 26, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2022 Not much progress on this lately, unfortunately. Looks like I'll be changing plans to a different style IRS rear end. If I use the MX5 one, I can't run a rear seat. I did however buy a 3d printer. So been learning how to use fusion 360. So far made some velocity stacks for some R1 itbs, and a radio delete plate for the wagon. Will try a flatter paint next time. Was supposed to be satin, but looks too glossy for for my liking. Some guard mirrors are next. If anyone has dimensions for either the mirrors, or radio plate, that would be amazing. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lownslow Posted July 6, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2022 Printed some mirrors up. Pretty happy with how they turned out. Just need to design the mirror holder piece now. Will sand these back and paint them eventually. Probably stay black, possibly grey. 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lownslow Posted August 17, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2022 Haven't done too much on this lately. Managed to pick up a S13 rear end though, so have shortened that up as much as possible. Will just be running the smaller R180 diff for space reasons. Had to notch the subframe for clearance on one of the driveshaft flanges. Should still be plenty strong enough. Also picked up some AE71 wagon struts, so will get them ready for brake upgrade and coilovers. Just a money thing at this stage. Slowly but surely. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lownslow Posted September 1, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2022 So did a thing today. 13x6 all around. Looks like I'll be able to squeeze the 8.5s I want under there. Now all I need to do is figure out how to fit these under the bed so the missus doesn't see them. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lownslow Posted September 9, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2022 Took the star sharks to work and machined the lips off, and blasted them. Also had a play around with the barrels. Just need to find someone that can weld them in Australia, as barrel bros has now closed to customers. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lownslow Posted March 23, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2023 Got the barrels finished for my wheels. Very happy with them. Unfortunately he couldn't weld them, will so get them finished by someone in Brisbane. Also have nearly finished the rack and pinion conversion. 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lownslow Posted May 3, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2023 So I decided to bite the bullet and get a complete S13 rear floor pan, and rails. Sectioned it, and have it sitting in place. Will need custom tubs, but the rails look like they'll mount up nicely. Just need to fold up some pieces to extend the rear rail points. Rims have been welded and gave them a paint. They look orange in photos, but gold in person. I was also lucky enough to find two sets of cheeeeap tyres in the sizes I wanted. Had to try the Advans on for a look too. 30 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
