abit of a update....

me and a good mate of mine (mostly him) have been designing up s13 coilvovers that will work in an 86... here is a pic..

http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image...sio1zn.jpg


these have mutable height adjustment to run either 14,15 or 16 inch rims... and have been strengthened at the the bottom to handle the extra force of running 390 to 500ib springs...


Mine have specifically been designed, to run with 16inch wheels that are between 8 - 9 inchs wide running around 30-40+ offset and have been shorterned so the car will be around 65-70mm lower then standard, HINT HINT on what is to come, let see who guess hahhaa

ill be running a KYB AGX shock, 392ib spring, Cusco ae86 camber tops, going to make up custom top hats like t3s but actually work and will be using my thrust bearing spacer..... should be a very capable steerer in my opinion

It seems that he use different strut construction (2-piece) or S13 front hubs conversion.

Yeah these are Jap Spec s13 legs, im going to be using an s13 hub with r32 gts-t brakes...

By design (mostly my friend) i mean, test multi able cut down of the strut, in different car with different variables, with different strut offsets to the hub and alot of things.... but the coilover is easy part of the s13 to ae86 coilvoer conversion. the other problems are getting th angle of the castor rods right, and what castor rod to use, strengthening the mounts to the cross member and so on and so... that will be coming soon Tongue


The legs have been cut down to allow perfect shock travel and to match the spring that i will be using... then a KONI coilvoer kit was welded on. Then they where painted and we added the AGX sticker to show what shock i used Tongue

cheers

Well the past week has been a bad week for hachis for me... last monday i munched an axle, then had it fixed on wednesday, for the battery to shit itself and when that happened it popped every fuse in the car..

this all happened 2 weeks before Hillclimb i was getting ready for... big pain in the ass...

well the governing body has all these rules in aussie that u need to have done to be able to compete in motorsport here, like a have a CAMS license and to get a CAMS icense u need to be a member of a cams approved club...

there is also lots of requirements that u need to do to ur car.. like fit a fire extinguisher, secondary form of bonnet latchs, tow hooks, battery triangles and all other similar things.... so i have been doing that over the past few weeks...

also changed all the oils and installed my t3 short shifter an my mate made me up a fancy top hat for my coilvors which work likes a T3 upper hat thingy but this one doesn't load up when ur going around corners and experiences gs..

Aluminium+steel inserts ? If yes - why not all-aluminium ? Just curious :wink:

they both are alluminum... the red section is just a koni coilover kit top hat, which has been bored out with a high quility thrust bearing, then the top bit (un andoised alloy) inserts into the bearing...

see how they go this weekend at the hillclimb, there is a nice high speed downhill cornor which loads up the left front wheel alot, will see if the steering locks up with the semis on... hopefully it doest

Why is your rear wing a bit different in color than the rest of the car?

Between, I love what you ve done to the rear arches!

Apolan, you see mx5's are faster than the ae86's Big Grin
