David[RL] Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 what about clearance to the dashboard? will that be a problem? or don't you have one? hehe Just for notice:On LHD cars you must move windshield wiper motor to passenger side to make room for cylinders. my LHD ke70 has the wiper motor on the passenger side from factory? are you gonna connect a wire etc so you can adjust the brake balance while you're driving?

Toycrash Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Posted September 27, 2005 Yes, i don't have dash :ban: But it will have dash when i'm finished. and yes it will fit, but then again, i'm not using any stock meters, so there is plenty of room. On KE20 wiper motor is mountet directly to pedal assembly. i don't know how much there would be room in KE70, but i susspect that it's going to be tight fit. If it's only possible, do it forward at enginebay. Much easier... And yes, i'll make adjusting knob to the dash Quote
Corolla_Kid Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 Dayum i like what your doing there very much. Quote
David[RL] Posted November 25, 2005 Report Posted November 25, 2005 nice! I guess you made the rear coilovers yourself? looks like bilstein shocks just like I have.. got any more pictures of how they are made? just welded the thread tube on the damper or what? :D also, are you gonna reinforce the chassis? I'm thinking about making/buying rear coilovers myself and I guess I'll go for a 10point rollcage, but I don't know if it's enough reinforcement Quote
Toycrash Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Posted November 25, 2005 The rear coilovers are at loan, I'm takin measures, and make new tubes. Shocks are plain rallye Bilstains and threaded tube slided over them. Body is ready to race, rollcages and fourlinks and all reinforcements i need :wink: Rear strut towers are adjustable and some view of rollcage, wich in front goes all the way to front towers. Wheel arches are modified, rear floor pan is modified to axxept Dana30 axle. Now waiting for front poly bushes, chromo rods and aurora rod ends to come, that i can finalice my 4-links and watt links. Next thing is to get it on four wheels and go measure some corner weights to determine suitable springs for gravel and snow. :D Then i go and cut the roof out and weld new staight to it. Then some paint... Sponsers decided that its going to be all orange, but... maybe it needs some panda look :jamie: Quote
Toycrash Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Posted January 22, 2006 Some more parts finished and waiting to assembly. Rear 4-link bars with Aurora rod ends. Chromemoly steel. Rear Watt-link bars with Aurora rod ends. Cromemoly steel. Watt link frame and center swing on Dana 30(volvo 1030 axle) Quote
Toycrash Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Posted January 22, 2006 If you don't mind me asking, how much did the watts setup cost you? What would coulple pieces of metal cost.. ;D Seriously, something between 150-200usd i think. Quote

Toycrash Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Posted January 23, 2006 Wohoo! Finally my quads came. Gotta go open the shipment and take some pics :P Quote

-A1- Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 looks nice, but first buy something like that and then write "romutettavaksi" to that cardboard box below. Are you just collecting those to destroy them :P when flame is going to sing, I can´t wait anymore, hurry up dude summer is near, only -4 decrees anymore :P Quote
