After a dismal performance plagued by random oversteer at my last AX I decided to that continuing to use the car in it's current state made no sense. I have been accumulating a bunch of suspension pieces and fiberglass body parts and decided that there was no time like the present to get to work.
This was the car on July 16th; Attached image(s) |

I moved on to the chassis work. A few years ago I removed the trunk floor and added some support structure. I decided to get a little more radical.
I stole this design shamelessly from URY914... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Hi Paul.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) Begin by welding two 1.75" tubes to 1/4" steel plates and bolting them to the transaxle mounting ears. added support tubes from shock towers and from plates welded at rear of inner suspension console. final bar across ties the two uprights together. This tubing only supports the back of the transaxle. I replaced 16lbs of cut away metal with 9 lbs of tubing. |
