Project "Roku-ju" TA60 Carina

[Motax]

It could have been the bracket at fault, as the other side didnt have the same problem at first. I'm not sure what has happened to the car in the past, but seeing as some things have been repaired in a "strange" manner . The radiator for example is one that does not belong in the car, and it has an extra coolant bottle which i think is from an old renault .

Anyways, Tuesday things got mixed up a bit, so i worked on the car yesterday instead.

Unfortunatly i did not take any pics during (dirty/greasy hands), but the end result speaks for itself:




The front can still go about 9cm's lower (not that it will), but i will leave it where it is now, as the springs havent had any load on them, so most likely they will still drop a bit.

Here is the list of parts i used:

Front:
AE86 struts, shortened 4cm's
GroundControl coilover sleeves
Eibach 550lbs springs
SW20 rear Kayaba AGX shocks
S13 camberplates combined with T3 KP61 topmounts
AE86 Caliper bracket (strut-caliper)
AE86 Steering arms
TA60 spindle+brakedisc

Note that for the front i had to file out the holes of the topmounts slightly (like 1mm each) and in order to fit the TA60 brakes on the AE86 brackets, i used a small spacer and longer bolts in order to get it right.
Also the TA60 spindle on the AE86 strut is not ideal, as the thread is a bit shorter, and the hole for the cotter pin isn't as far out. With a bit of creativity and a smaller cotterpin, it all worked out fine. If you have the complete AE86 setup, it shouldn't be a problem at all, as that will be even better.


Rear:
AE86 "Craftz" springs, i believe these are either 5 or 6kg springs
Random Kayaba AGX shocks, don't know what model they came from, but they fit just fine. Bought these second hand and where previously used on a KP61
TA60 Caliper+bracket


So, all ready for the filming on friday. There will be a number of nice cars there from what i've heard. I will post the endresult once it's done .
