rofl! yep thats it now you know why the front end is now MIA, because it was all fucked.
I have yet to add the triangular braces, but they are coming. STill too much to do, too little time. No progress, and probably wont be for quite some time guys. Thanx for stopping by and viewing though!

 

gotta keep it alive

Can we get some more pics when you get a chance, even though there is no new additions?

 

bump so it's on my recent topics too.

Something like this?

 

thats pretty sweet! Yes, sort of like that. I will have more braces though...

 

Thanks. I just made it real quick in Solidworks.

As for the other braces, I'm assuming one will be running diagonal behind the seats somewhere?

 

yeah that would be almost ecatly what i was talking about

 

I have an upper, and lower front-to-back stay on each side. With X braces going from one to the other the entire length(from the doors to the tail lights, a total of 4 on each stay).
Then, I have a straight brace going from driver to passenger side horizontally, connecting the upper "stay", and I will then put diagnol braces going from the horizontal brace to each upper "stay". That make any sense? In other words, I dont think itll move unless I start clearing 20 ft berms

 

haha here comes a dune buggy sol

are you gonna put some monster truck suspension on it and some baja tires

Somewhat. Over-bracing it never never hurts if you don't want any twisting.

 

no twisting = hella fun in the twisties hehe

You should get a set of corner scales and work on evening out the weight distribution.

 

Id like to, but they are like $1000 for something Ill use once. Ill just guestimate, or go to a shop that has them already and start tossing **** around so that it gets close

Nice. My guess is you'll have to do a lot of shifting around in the engine bay. You should balance it with you sitting in the car too. 50/50 with driver.

 

Im not so sure 50/50 will happen. Theres quite a bit of heft in the *** end. MAYBE w/a full tank up front, but even then, Ill be lucky to see 60/40. Thats ok, though, awesome performance under heavy braking

 

whats the progress on the motor? still sittin in the shop or at the machine shop?

 

Well, Im cutting the 2" primary from the collector to the turbo off, and going 2.5", to a muffler and out the back. NA. I found some H23 rods, stock H22 type S pistons(and I have an H23 crank). SO, its going H23Vtec for the summer, running on SpeedPro. Should be able to see at least 170whp. 2000lbs, 170whp, I think itll be pretty fun. Maybe not killer acceleration, but hella fun to zip around town in
No progress on the engine though. Actually Im using my good engine for mocking because I dont have time to pull the mock engine out of the sol for mocking manifolds with.

 

N/A = weaksauce

 

More pictures to feed my addiction please. Even if there is no update.

I posted a pic above.

 

no boost

time to move this thread to the apperance and cosmetic forum

real life strikes again i guess. I'm sure sliding the sol around will be fun sans boost anyway.

 

ya, I was thinking RR@AutoX, but Im not sure they would appreciate something like this(no offense guys if you are watching). They seem a lil uptight.
Boost will be here, but I wont if I boost it this summer. At least the "right way". So....close the doors, or boosted Sol and back to 9-5 for some schmuck making $8 an hour. Ya, thats what I thought
