AW11 Build: The Slampiece

[Arteeste]

I've seen old school gymkhana videos & these things are soo fast & nimble in tight turns. Definitely looking forward to this build

Cars suck. Everything from missing ground wires to frozen brakes to bad weather has set me back. But you CAN'T STOP. Progress continues. It idles:

I can't embed videos.

PART THE SECOND: Suspension Rebuild
That pile of suspension components made it under the car. Here's what we got:

• AMR coilovers
• TRU rear tie rods
• All existing components sandblasted and powdercoated
• MK1B brake upgrade (larger vented fronts)
• Porterfield R4S pads
• Braided brake lines
• Polyurethane bushings
• New ball joints
• TTT bump steer spacers, front tie rods flipped
• Rebuilt steering rack with Quaife 2.5 rack/pinion

Here's what that looks like:




Fronts are maxed. These things don't like to get low. I might need shorter springs. Also, I aligned it myself with a long piece of wood so it's not exactly in spec, but I've been able to drive it around the neighborhood a little and so far so good. Except for the time it coughed up an idler pulley and almost overheated...

Is that a lotus next to it in the garage?

Nice to see a fellow 425 member.

Yes sir it is. Hope to see you around the area

Can't wait too see what comes out of this!

Thanks!

Some brake complications set me back, and then the weather rolled in... itching to get out in the yard. Do a sun dance for me

i'm in for this one, love aw11's

Are those the AMR coils?

Yep these are AMRs, great looking and well made. Can't wait to have them on and see if they were worth the 3 month wait

Go big or go home!

That's the plan

[L1no]

Go big or go home!

[jacbo]

Yay! More Aw11!

I was going to go GZE but I ended up going BT instead. I like it A LOT so far. We'll see how long I last before I want more.
