I know this is HONDA tech, but this is an awesome fab section and there is plenty of non honda stuff in here, so why not a little more.

I started on this car when I was 17 and its gone through some serious changes

heres how it looked when I was 17



then my first round of turbo'ing when i was 19


started to polish the volks. yes, they are from 1991




and where its at now, hopefully will be a full painted roller by spring

 

 

And this is what its like as of today. this has been my test dummy and how I have learned any fab "skills" I have today. Im 21 now, graduate college in 2012, and hope to have the car together by then.


I need a damn chassis table!!!!!!


















the turbo manifold is just on their for *****, im making a whole new setup, and going with a precision turbo. but here is how it sits after 4 hours of cutting and re building

 

looking hot!!! moar!!!!!

 

Looks good, thats a LOT of work! Why did you take apart your front that you made?

 

I wasnt happy with it. I now have all the room I want for an lsx engine and two turbos some day in the future, and a solid place to mount it

and thanks!

 

wow.......... props to u sir for taking on such a big project like that on ur own, looks good.

it also help that your dad/parent have such a nice building for you too work in. not hating, but a clean, well supplied environment allows growth of your skills in leaps and bounds. good job so far.

 

this!

iv been paying my dues for a looong time though. its fun now though, we both have super involved projects going on, and we get ideas from one another.

 

cant say my dad didnt teach me alot, and gave up his personal woodshop for me to convert into my car shop while i was still living at home. thumbs up to dads!

 

daily driver wheels :D



I gotta get a nice camera, this grainy bullshit is killin me

 

Awesome project man. Looking really good!

 

good job! this is gonna be a serious car!

 

dd'ing te37s.. yes jelly. Nice work. wish i had that kind of workspace as well.

 

What's the reasoning for staying with a Mac strut design up front when all your suspension mounts are going to be custom anyway? Just didn't want to deal with all the geometry computations and measurements that come with designing a proper double wishbone setup, or some other reason (not allowed by race class, etc)?

 

Cool project.

 

It is very simple to do the setup, I just dont feel like spending 400 in new shocks, plus springs, rod ends, etc. Im just trying to cut down on more stuff I have to fabricate and buy, I really wanna get the chassis done and a setup in the car and use it for a little while. It will get a mustang II style front suspension when I put a 9" out back and a 400+ci turbo lsx in.

 

and thanks everybody! I appreciate it.

 

Been slowly working on it. School, work, and doing a lot of fab work on the side doesnt leave much time for it.

Here are a few pics. Starting to get the strut towers made. Decided to stay with the Macpherson strut style for time and effort sake.

 

Pretty cool, will you be setting it up with additional caster than what the original car had?

 

Ya a few more degrees.

 

Damn thatz sick bro a fully built ka24det keep up the good work.

 

Bahhh Super Lame!!!!!

 

hahahh thanks bro!

 

Any more progress?
