My S13 240 : Ls swap, Corvette trans,ITB's, Widebody, Stupid wide wheels,

[DutchieSaxo]

i still have Senza Pari's Fairlady as my number one build here on SW but i might think it's getting surpassed by this one. jezus fuck those wheels are insane.

i'm soooo in for more.

[laextreme5]

this is going to be insane when its done. can't wait to see the finished build.

whats the plan with the wheel centres, have i missed anything because it appears you have built the whees but left the centres untouched, or was that the plan?

think it looks quite cool untouched

They will be painted. Simply built that one wheel for mock up purposes.

Brought home a busted radiator and condenser from work to day in the rough size i think ima run. Threw a front fender on to get an idea of depth. After seeing it up there compared to the fender length, ill probably go the route of a shorter but wider core than what i used for mock up, overall width will be determined by how wide the mouth of the front bumper is, once it arrives.

We had a new m6 in the other day that had ran over a curb, and upon checking out the underside i noticed they had a flat cooler than the air ran threw and exited out the bottom of the car. This gave me the idea of mounting the condenser flat and exiting the air out the bottom right behind the splitter. I need to do some research on hoe much if any this will affect pressures differentials and front splitter effectiveness and downforce.

If the horizontal mounting of the condenser isn't feasible, ill more than likely just mount it directly to the radiator like all oem's do. This was just an idea to get the best possible uninterrupted cooling to the radiator, a side benefit is that it lowers the Center of Gravity, granted its extremely minimal but hey, it all adds up in the end.

...id rather just wait till the baby is born and ill have a week off staying home takin care of momma while she recovers, and ill have some time to piddle around a bit...

Haha, good luck with that!

Yo how did I miss this, That mock up just literally made me moist. are you planning on running a little bit of poke or are you going to camber in a little? the poke looks super rad and I love the look of 0'd out camber in the rear of 240s.

the camber you see is pretty much what i will be running. -1.8 to -2 in the rear. Maximum forward and lateral traction. Yes there will be a pinch of poke, but i still need to widen the widebody prolly an 1' to cover the contact patch of the tire. where the sidewall and contact patch meeet is about where i want the fender to sit. so prolly 1'' of poke but still zero chance of rubbage.

Damn, you went from ultra fast fabricator to ultra photo dump in 1 lens

Dont **** the player **** the game.

But i have really hit a standstill until my seat comes in. I mean i coud do knick knack stuff like remove some brackets and what not but id rather just wait till the baby is born and ill have a week off staying home takin care of momma while she recovers, and ill have some time to piddle around a bit.

As of a week ago it was sitting in a port in japan waiting for Bulletproofs container to arrive. By my guess the seat should hopefully be arriving to me in 3 weeks or so. Prolly right when my baby boy is born lol
