I will never do this job again.........

Ever, its a massive head f**k getting everything true and square.

Here is a few crappy I phone photos of pete's rear end. Everythings been seam sealed and roughly painted, needs a coat of under body tar to finish it off.

The rear pins had to be machined up and the chassis modified to mount them, front of the subframe has been cut and shut with new solid mounts machined up, cage will penetrate the floor to add additional strength but the whole thing is done with 4130 molly plate and bar so its bullshit strong anyways.

There is also a rose jointed rear steering set-up for it which is very nice.

Better photos tomorrow in the light old mate

Here is the new and mildly improved rear steering arrangement for Pete's cars

The pins are machined 4130. They pretty much push in and bolt to the original upright removing the horrid factory ball joint on the outter. The arms will remain factory for replacement sakes and 5/8th's rod ends are used for the outters.

The pin straight out of the lathe

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
