Damn! Slight delay... My e36 m starting heating up... Headset coming this way and a complete valve job tooo...

[ponchis]

more suspension tuning...

Tii struts... Bigger spindles for bigger wheels? myth? didnt wanna risk it...

Ground-Control Coilovers for the front

And also for the rear

some negative camber!

Mason Engineering stress bar

So im working on some serious angle... i got to play with some extra steering nuckles and i think ive came up with this...

-Widened the track with Massive offset roll center spacers

-Ground the steering stops down

-Some negative camber

-Shortened steering knuckles

Do i need more??? But i think i maxed it out... plus still have to check if my rims dont hit

lskdfkjds sorry that was me wiping off my keyboard after seeing this thread. great build man. cant wait to get my hands on an 02

Could I get the specs for the real coil over setup please. I'm looking at doing a similar setup for mine.

[mehpowered]

They look like ground control. Coilovers. U can get the kit and shorten the housing and use rabbit struts if u wanna save some money.

[ponchis]

Mehpowered... Hahaha someone enjoying the build? You need an 02 asap!

Skippy... What are you trying to do for your build? These are Ground-Control coilovers. Tii strut cut 2 inches with koni adjustable shock. 450lbs in front while 400 rears, havent tested them tho. As for the rear coilover, GC makes them similar to the e30 setup. More info here:

Ponchis, my car is being set up for track work and spirited road use.

I'm currently rebuilding a set of e21 323 trailing arms and they will be going in soon. The issue I have is how to reinforce the shock towers, and which rear strut ( e21 or e30) top mount to I have it modified to accomodate.

[ponchis]

skippy

Im not sure how the mounting part is to your trailing arms but my set up was more universal. Weld on portion for the trailing and on top its the same as a regular shock... When the guys at blu808 re-enforced my rear shock mount. I didnt see that they followed the hole the same size where as my coilover was meant for the smaller hole since they supplied the bushings. My conclusion was to ditch their bushing and go with stock size poly bushings... and modify those for the extra re-enforced plate... maybe my pic can show you the difference... this is what im not going to use but check it out... PM if you want, and ill send you pics of how im going to do it...

[Skippy_the_Bush_Kangaroo]

Cheers mate, just the image I was looking for.

Good luck with it, I'll keep an eye on the build.

Looking forward to seeing your car come together - i'd love to do something similar!

Im baaaaaack!

working hard on the 02! steering needs a bit of tweaking but close. The pedal box is pretty much done.

cleaned up the pedals

Massive rebuild pedal kit... very straight forward

Compact Cylinders

I used another pedal box clutch cylinder arm and made a hole about where i wanted to mount it on the brake lever.

Need some racing pedals... mmm

Steering box had to go, the geometry def wasnt working... rack and pinion from a e21

trying to work with the turn radius of the steering arm

Have a few cuts on the arms to see how it play with every turn... good thing i have spares!

[ponchis]

Might sound corny but i actually feel like the first fast n furious with a truck filled with parts for the supra build.

Subframes (check)...

So i ended up adding an IE sway bar because the ST sway was in stock location so it affected my turn radius for angle... ST sway good for steering box...

rear subframe... didnt wanna go solid yet

Picked up a JB racing flywheel for the s14.. stay happy revving my friend...

IE FG bumper is almost perfect when i lay it over the rear crash bar...

Top it off with my momo steering wheel... loving the red stitching...

Well i have a lot of part im not using... time to start taking pictures for the sale forum...
