Second problem you'll face with stock strut housings is front tire clearance - there isn't much under the lower spring perches, the inside top of the tire will hit the perch if you go bigger than a 205/50-15 on a 15x7 rim. Whatever works, just be aware that this is a problem that needs fixing. Some people attack the problem by using different brake compounds front and rear. Front brake balance valves are not expensive, less than $100. That said, you need to do some research and put some thought into this. Dead stock, you can pretty much forget about trail braking. They really like to lock front brakes, even with gentle application. The single most annoying thing about AW11s in a competition situation will be brake balance.

That's about all I can think of for now, will update hopefully thursday, when we get some more done! I can almost definitely get under that, so I can add ballast to the frunk, where it is much needed, and help the handling out a little bit.Īlso need to figure out the suspension, which will consist of searching mr2oc's autox forum for setup tips.

It looks like I'll be building it to Solo SSM rules, and with a glance at the classification minimum weight: I need to weigh 1600lbs, plus 200 per litre (It will be a turbo 1.6, so +1.4 litre for the turbo), minus 200lbs because I will be running smaller than 275mm tires (probably something like a 15x8 with 245ish tires, haven't delved too deeply into it but I don't think I'll get to the point where I can use a 275 tire.), making my minimum weight 2000lbs.

Harnesses (I really, for no logical reason, want to get some takatas, for the full jdmness!)įull cage (probably a bolt in, unless I can get a good welder and get good enough to trust myself with it before the time comes to put it in) Seats (corbeau fx1 probably, not time to buy them yet though) Remove engine and all the crap still in the frunkĬlutch and brake MC's (easier if I just get a pedal box with attached MC's!!)Ĭut/grind off all the useless brackets for E36 M3 I won't be using anymore Gut doors, window net on driver's side, fixed lexan on pass side more than likely Gut dash and place said gauges in stock dash, or just put a sheet metal panel in twosrus will be my best friend for a while lol=] Need to find some 15" wheels, and later aw11 big brakes. Not sure if it'll be plain or if we will figure out some graphics. I'm going to spray everything that isn't a body panel neon orange, everything that is a body panel will just be a clean white. Thursday (hopefully), after work we will pull some more body panels off (doors are next) and probably start taking the engine out as well. Inspired by 92celicahalftrac's build thread, I am going to go way way way over my head and do this thing up from the ground up, whether it has a title or not. Got the front wheels unstuck by prying against the tie rod ends lol, with a 48" prybar it was still a ridiculous amount of work to do. Going to get the body stripped off of it and roll it outside for a thorough cleaning. Took the front fenders and bumper off, started taking doors off as well. Today I took pics of the seats, will be listing the seats and any random interior pieces anyone would need for sale on here and on mr2oc.
