Nice
 
Hi, was that up-corked? I see everyone having cut the side interior sheet metal. How much is it too wide? Also have you tried to lay the hood down for clearences? I know that the Subaru engine will clear, but how close is the crank pulley to the rear apron?

Vw1303 What uniball system are you using in the rear?
nice looking 1303 meng. love the stance

I should have had a heart rate monitor on when I hit second gear.:eek:
I need more than just a back alley to get a proper feel for it.
It felt amazing having that much power behind you. And knowing all your hard work has paid off is pretty sweet too. Hopefully I can stay motivated enough to finish the car now that it is running. I just want to drive it:cool:

Uni-ball set-up was for a project in my engineering classes. One off.:D

I'm not sure how much more cutting is going to be required to fit my rear apron on but when all the bodywork is installed it should be quite the sleeper.

mad props! thing sounds amazing! btw...what rack&pinion you running?

Oldskool1303 March 18th 2011 23:10

One off Nice meng!!
After seeing your 1303 with those Sick fuchs wheels made me re think my green rims :D Are those 15x8 all around?
Also did you roll your fender using a hammer and a rubber mallet?

Wheels are 15X8.5 front and 15X10:eek: rear.
Rack is from a E30 BMW.

car is looking killer! the 15x10 under stock fenders? you roll them?

Those rear tyres in particular look too stretched to the point where they would be beyond any tyre manufacturer warrantying them for use in this application. The only tyre that I can find that is approved for fitment to 10x15" rims (apart from off-road tyres) is a 285/50x15 thats 4% larger diameter than stock.

Fenders have been rolled with a fender roller/basball bat/english wheel/hammers and are pretty mangled at this point. I would love to have a set of Kerscher flared fenders but so much$$$ to get them over here.(Perhaps when I go to Europe this summer;))

Wheels and tires at this point are set up for drifting. So I'm not concerend about manufacter's specs.

I want to get a set of 17s for street/daily driving. The car is quite low to be on the street with 15's amd 45 series tires. Anyone have an extra set of BBS LM's:lmao:

rack and pinion.
 
Can you talk a bit more about that rack and pinion setup? Including any parts lists / build pics?

Also, I like all your caging and what not, do you have more images regarding this stuff?

It's awesome to see it's up and running. Got the stinger tuned yet or are you running on a base map?

I didn't see the JDM sticker before, nice touch. This thing is Hellaflush.

Started working on some aluminum door panels.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...6.jpg~original
And some ducting for the intercooler which is going to be fed by to NACA ducts and 3" flexible hose in the rear window. Started on the rear firewall. That is going to be a big task.

Here are some more photos of the cage. This picture was taken just after I had the entire thing powder coated. 3 years ago:o
I need to support my steering rack better. I CNC milled a pedestal that the rack sits on but I want to tie it into my front strut brace as well.
This picture show when i was using the rabbit rack with made my wheels turn opposite!!!

Picked this up as well. Along with some heavy duty axles and cv's.
Car still needs some tidying up but hoping to put in on the road in April:shocked:
JDM sticker is the symbol for new driver in Japan. It's a magnet and came with a cheap steering wheel I got.
I was having some computer compatiblity problems so I haven't tuned the ecu yet. But I looking forward to putting it on the dyno and see what it can do.

Working on my rear windows. You have to be really careful when working with lexan as to not crack it:angry: It took a few attempts but the results were worth it.

More firewall fabricating.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...2.jpg~original
Got all my fuchs back on. Now with 50 series tires all around. A little more beefier.:)
