Not my daily but I loved the fact that this car had full interior and it was clean. One day I'll get a hair up my ass, strip it, and cage it. All the tubing for it is already in the garage.

I 100% understand this. I have a chassis that was full of water and mold. I't trying my best to piece the interior back together. It makes the most sense to just gut it and paint it with a cage but I like to be able to drive everything i have on the street and in comfort.

coupesallday! · 03-16-2012, 06:46 PM

any updates?!!

ch1873857 · 03-16-2012, 08:13 PM

yes yes yes. been working on it all day. bled the brakes, clutch, and ebrake, nothing really to take pics of haha. just getting everything tightened up and clamped down. NOTHING had hose clamps because it was all just mock up.

the car is getting towed to the other shop to get the core support finished up. that'll be a kodak moment haha. dont worry theres definately progress. this car is SO CLOSE..

heres a teaser for you..

word sux · 03-16-2012, 08:45 PM

looks sick

so is this your first season drifting??

ch1873857 · 03-21-2012, 09:06 AM

Started fabricating my downpipe last night while we wait for the 3/4" tubing we need for the front end.

Overall i was OK with my work. I was happy with my fitment. Almost perfect clearence however my welds were JUNK. I'm fully certified and this is wretched. By the end of the weld on the flange, i started to get my heat right. However, I didn't have the correct tools to prep my tungsten electrode. So my arc was everywhere. here's how it turned out.

My first weld in 16 months.

Ill get pics today of it installed.

S-Nation S13 · 03-21-2012, 09:28 AM

welds looking good..wish i could weld..having that skills = endless possibilities

ch1873857 · 03-21-2012, 10:35 AM

thanks but its hardly good in my eyes haha.. ill get it back, i just need some more time . theres plenty to weld on this car though this weekend. sucks that we changed the design. we were going to run 1" tubing for the front but to save weight we pulled it down 3/4" so hopefully it pays off.

S-Nation S13 · 03-21-2012, 10:48 AM

"beauty is in the eye of the beholder"..lol just read the build..LONG LIVE THE KNOCK OFF HAHA hell ya

ch1873857 · 03-21-2012, 10:54 AM

haha yeah its tempting just to keep them as we are now an XXR distributor.. Im sorry but other than my wheels find 1 other part on this car without a brand name lol.

still better welds than you'll find on Megan so...

OBEEWON · 03-21-2012, 02:34 PM

Keep them, just get another set of official wheels.

Knock offs are like missile cars. One good car, and one bang around car.

And stop faking like those welds aren't good, fishing for compliments and junk.

ha. i dont like compliments really. i pay more attention to criticism as it makes me better. compliments just make peoples heads bigger. I can tell you 5 flaws in that weld and in the school I went to, this weld would have failed. As you will see later in this post what I am talking about.

Steering rack clearence

Manifold clearence

This downtube will be like this until startup unless I get my 3 inch vband in time.

the V band will get welded to the end off this pipe. its a tight fit and I will not be able to add another 90 without making it impossible to remove. For the April 1st event i will run a 90 off that and a turn down to toward the ground. Logistically cant do a full exhaust yet. 4 in. oval will complete the rest of the exhaust.

The flaws in my welds are appearent OBEEWON. Along with my tungsten issue, my filler rod 3/32" 308L is too wide for this thin piping. It worked weld with the flange but there was a lot more meat to lay heat into. I'm a modest person and I'm very critical of my work. I went to school for 2 years to weld and my instructor was comparable to my drill sergeant in basic.

Also, Cage Dave has started on my front end. These are the strut tower braces. More to come tomorrow..
