Hello. New here,so here goos.
Back in 2007 started to put the parts and chassie together. I have 3 chassis to work from,2 from Texas and one from Ca. The Texas car seems to be better/less rust but it was hit in the driver front and repaired. Will look into that when I get is up on Rotisserie. Will start building the Rotisserie next. She will be powered by a JDM Sti using a adapter to the 914 transaxle. Didn't want to go to the Subaru,to much work. When I get it up on the Rotisserie is this a good time to have blasted clean/paint free? Here are some photos . Any input is welcome!

You're taking weight away from a higher center of gravity point in the rear to a very low COG point just over the front axle. The new engine weighs more so in theory you should be better sorted this way. Should help even out the whole weight distribution thing and still keep the weight close to the center of the car which helps your handling. Would be interesting to see some others battery boxes and ideas tho... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
Has anyone gone with a gel-cel inside the passenger compartment? Is it even recommended? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
