VERY VERY HAPPY!, was not expecting this to work!

[pwalker]

after having the car up on a ramp in our unit the other week and jokingly holding up some parts we had laying around and thinking "hmm that actualy might fit lol" we decided today to give it a go for the hell of it. and got a very pleasent surprise that it actualy seemed to fit..... basically my front left suspension set up now looks like this....

I think it's probably safe to say, you're the first person to have done that.

nice result there mate,love those wheels as well

[T5RPete]

Holy crap that's some lock you've got there!!

[Biff]

Fair play to you on working that out.
Nice bit of lock too!

well we knew huxley had fitted s13 suspension to his bdc 240 and saw how close it looked so we gave it ago


cheers yeah i love the wheels :p, the problem is i dont know whether to get some more spacers or not now, i had volvo to jap 50mm spacer adapters and was going to use over arches but obviously now the front is just jap fitment anyway so i cant use the spacers. but not sure wether to get some j5x114 spacers and use my arches or just roll the arches a bit and run it as is

Weldone there sir

Nice bit of lock too!

we might be able to gain a bit more lock but tbh im not too bothered it looks pretty good as it is, will have to test it out before i even think about bothering to train gain some more. the steering might go over centre etc so will have to test it out

[pwalker]

Weldone there sir

cheers, i feel like there is potential to open up a world of options to the volvo comunity from this haha, hopefully it will all work when it comes to testing it

It won't help us front wheel drivers. But yeah, could be a great mod for the RWD cars.

Wow look at that camber! Nice find and the lock you've got! Six pence isn't the word!! Lol

i dont think the pictures actualy do the camber justice, il have to get some better ones tomorow from the front, possibly could get a bit more out of it but i dont want more, certainly more than the usual volvo "camber mod" haha. still might encounter some sort of issues yet like im trying not to get too excited about it untill its tested haha

[wiganer31]

very nice, hope it all works well when tested, whats your plans for the rear?


cheers

[stephenevans99]

I take it you've fitted longer brake pipes lol

[pwalker]

cheers

nothing exciting, for now just getting some springs of classicswede on turbobricks and then going to find some shockers to go with it. unless we can come up with something different when we come to looking at it

I take it you've fitted longer brake pipes lol

havent touched them atm there isnt one on yet, going to use an r33 caliper

[pwalker]

havent had time to do anything on it today but stopped by for a few quick photos just to show the camber off better etc

wow awesome car.
Those Nissan hubs are interesting, may borrow their design.
The bearing is part of the hub right?
(I'm designing a tube chassis car and all the suspension components etc)
