want to see how the rack connects to the wheels/ struts
Ask and thee shall receive! :D
The above pics are with the new(secondhand) s14 rack! The rack ends are wound out nearly to the max so i will be needing custom rack ends of some sort!
The rx7 disks and calipers are also being ditched for some evo 6 brembo's!
I have included a picture of the old starion sway-bar above the s13 sway-bar that will be replacing it! The new sway-bar fits into the original location and mounts using new 25mm bushes instead of the old 21mm bushes. as you can see the new sway-bar is a bit beefier and will provide a bit more stability!
The Castor arms are also finished!
As an edit to my previous statement that the sump will clear, i remembered that i am using a VR4 sump not the starion one!
The starion sump will actually clear the top of the x-member and rack better than the vr4 one, but will foul the front of the x-member! this can be avoided by spacing the silvia part of the x-member down about 10mm before welding! see pic
I have been asked by several people what the cost is associated with this project!
well,
Cross member- $20 (get sway bar if possible)
Rack and tie rods- $100
Lower control arms- $520
Coil-overs- $500
Strut tops- $300
Castor rods-$200
Hubs and brakes- $500 (new bearings obviously)
Sooo around $2140 and im not done yet

Remember that this price can be lowered using s14/15 hubs, brakes, control arms etc, so it varies heaps!
