You mean, a race track shouldn't be that close to the houses

 

Thanks for the replies folks. I was thinking of making mine similar to the Innovative design but change the radius rod design so that they're adjustable on the car, and changing the cross-member design a bit.

Have any of you guys had issues with the rod ends wearing excessively after some miles?

Looking at rod end options it seems that its going to cost anywhere from 25-100 each for a US made rod end, and I'm wondering if the higher end stuff is even necessary.

 

Unless the race track came first!

 

Dont know whats wrong with you guys - but i'd love a house next to the race track!!

Damn presidential - dyno run looked good, my daughter was impressed as well..

 

I would be careful with a lesser grade material as this is a key component to the suspension and chassis for these cars. How much will it cost in materials to build in total?

 

The rear solid rear mount rod like the innovative is the right way to make it especially if you use spherical in the lower lower arm and you can buy the QA1 PCM black rodends from Summit Racing they work too.

 

Yeah I agree, thanks for the video. I was going to do the rear end of the radius rods in the same way as the Innovative part, probably using a modified OEM radius rod shortened with a left hand thread cut into it so it can be adjusted on the car.

Yeah I was thinking of using 4130 to try to keep the weight and section thicknesses down. I expect by the time I buy everything I'll be spending at least as much if not more than the off the shelf bars, but shipping of one of them down here to Australia wouldn't be cheap so I might come out cheaper. Here's a rough model of the concept I put together (None of the dimensions are correct, and its obviously missing some bits):

 

Pushed my EF out for a minute today so I could clean up my garage a little.

 

woah....
when she gonna see the track? mid summer ?

 

If you are referring to me, then who knows. I hope to have it done within the next month or so. At least together and ready for a tune.

 

I FIXED MY SQUEAKY WINDOW TODAY!!!! lol

I got out of work very late today, lol. My driver window was developing a gosh awful squeal every time i wound it down. It turned out that a screw behind the rubber in the window channel had been working its way way out for who knows how long - and ended up wearing through the rubber and letting the window rub against the screw.

Kinda simple fix - i was able to get the screw back in, out of the way of the window, but it would be nice to get a new window channel rubber.

Damn - you guys are all on a level all your own - making radius bars, that damn fine k powered soon to be turbo ride, damn. i miss having a garage.

 

any ef guys ever make their own full under aero kit?

 

exhaust makes it hard to do, depending on the one you have. had plans with a shop to make one, but dp was too low. should be easier with a k series swapped car since the exhaust doesn't have to go under the oil pan

 

Pro Car innovations made a rear diffuser. Check out there facebook page for more infor on that.

I have got to figure out a way to reinforce my pedal assembly. A friend that is into EF's started making his own hydro clutch conversion for his projects. So he threw one together for me. It would probably be fine with a less aggressive clutch, but with the dual disc that I have the pedal assembly flexes big time when the clutch pedal is pressed.




I have a couple ideas. I have some bolts that I saved from a Chevy truck that are heavy duty and plenty long enough to stretch from the dash reinforcement bar to the pedal assembly. I could get some pipe collars and maybe weld a bolt or two to those and somehow reinforce it that way. The pipe collar would clamp onto the dash bar.

Here is a pipe collar:

 

Gotta love Efs

 

New wheels for the old Shoe-

 

 

got an email about working a MotoGP event at Circuit of the Americas. I really want to do it but I have to get myself to Texas and back

 

I looked it up and you can fly in to Austin the day before and fly back the morning after on Southwest for $351.00 round trip..... I read this and had been looking at flights from OKC to Raleigh recently, so knew it wasn't too terribly expensive. I really need to make it down there for an F1 race.

 

HA love it! Sadly you will all have till wait till spring until I unleash the fury

 

First track day with the car! Running on old hard Azenis, so wasnt very competitive, but the car felt great overall. Cant wait to get back out there with fresh rubber! Ill have video soon.

 

A good deal but it's 3 day commitment to work the event. so that's a week i'd have to take off. under contract, so no vacation time

 

Tires are top priority now..best run from this weekend. Had a ton of understeer due to old azenis being hard, cant wait to drive it on fresh rubber!
