N12sumfin Track Thrash Hack Project

[n12sumfin]

Hey guys i thought i should start my project thread so you can follow progress, or lack of it (projects progress will be advanced on a whim of time wasting only) Will also include all costs associated with everything.


Bought it for the measly cost of $250













Then met up on the Central Coast with John to purchase his set of 16" wheels, ecu, ignition barrel and speedo cable, again $250

After getting back i took the wheels to my local tyrepower and we realised that 1 was majorly buckled 3 tyres absolutley stuffed and 1 with major slashes in the side. the main wheel is going to the fixed at a engineerign mob for $100, then 3 tyres (still yet to get $65 each 205/40/r16).

Now on why the car was so cheap it had a attempted theft which left the whole loom in a massive state of disrepair, which led me to find a BRAND NEW LOOM $266 delivered, i am talking BRAND NEW complete with engine and body loom.

Dude,

[n12sumfin]

tidy car! a 'steal' for $250!

[n12sumfin]

complete interior is out and i have found small patches of rust will post pics when i get the loom out, on that subject do you need to remove the fender to get the body loom out?

[xr6eta]

Yes unless you're going to be cutting the old loom up. You will need it off to get the new one in anyway. With a bit of patience, the whole thing will fit through the hole into the cabin and into the front of the car through the front right guard.

[n12sumfin]

cool i thought that, will update later

[n12sumfin]

okay looks like all the e15et gear will be up for sale soon, i dont think its going to do what i want so i am upgrading, just working on which halfcut i want.

[n12sumfin]

okay pulled front bar and drivers gaurd off fans and radiator out, all plastics all interior, wiring is out, will post pics tommorrow.

[n12sumfin]

ive been researching on the net for ages and it seems the way to go is Awd. Will be going solid axle and watts link, with 4 point mounting and coilovers with modified strut tops, complete cage in the rear, seam welding the lot, and a fuel cell over the rear diff with tubbed rear end.

got a mate looking for a vs live axle we are going to shorten for this, so the rear end of the car is thought out i just havent decided on what engine combo to use? please vote in the poll so i can get an idea on what you guys would use?

[tassuperkart]

Crikey dude, you sure you want to do this??

Why don't you run 2 x E15et engines? 1 in the front and one in the back? Just use all of the front end components: Engine/Gearbox, Driveshafts, Struts, Control arms etc. in the back. It'd be a great project.
