LS1 Drift Build 'Nuff Said'

[Mark Ostrowski]

^^ Yup I love that site,, I was looking at that nomex core or the Polypropylene....
Also was considering doing Aluminum Core also, since Russell has that on his WRX and works great, and cheaper.

Yeah its kind of a weird dilema, because on one hand you have the fact, that you are going to put the work in to make the peice so you want it to be as high quality, high strength and low weight as possible. But then you frame it in the big picture, and the truth is that this splitter probably won't make it till the end of the season in one piece, so why spend that much.

I feel you, tough decision, personally i'd go with the aluminum..because lets be honest, 4lbs is not going to make a dramatic impact on performance and you know you're wrecking this thing

i only suggested nomex b/c i wasn't sure how serious you wanted to go with it

updates pleaseeeeeee

[Royal_T]

Sorry about that guys, The holidays really got the best of me I think.. Well here is a little update, nothing to big.. Trying to get the bay,cage and interior painted very soon and then I will have a update with that..



The beer for this time is DogFish Head "Burton Baton". I really really like this beer, it is kind of strong so must don't like but I love it.. It is a oak-aged beer with a 10% ABV..



And this is one of the reasons why a update has not been done yet. I got my wife some Christian Louboutin's for Christmas.. But you have to make the wife happy first so they don't bitch about your build.... LOL



Like I said I made a to-do list for the car and engine. Stuff for the car is what is needed to get it ready for paint and the engine list is for some of the things I am changing..



Started off removing all the unnecessary brackets and removed the secondary firwall for extra room..



Then removed everything else, and used this stuff that my boy Eric gave me for degreasing the car. And man that stuff must have been Hulks's piss cause that ship got hella clean.. I swear you can eat off this thing now.. Also got rid of all the rust on the front tube chassis, time for some sanding and hit it with some primer..

Hey been browsing through SW for quite some time...

chuck in my two bucks worth as a boilermaker/welder (couldnt help myself ), as you can see the top photo, not the tidiest weld in the world but still strong enough I'm sure, the cage below however was welded with a tig, as you can see no spatter, very neat and uniform beads and large head penetration zone, very strong but also stresses the steel somewhat.

Big $$$ for TIG'd cages but well worth it if you as pedantic as i am when it comes to pipe work, MIG is cheap, quick and if the person is competent enough they are robust as well as neat.

So.... Updates?

[McLovn]

Updates now!
