street sign skid plate

[seang]

Aluminum street sign is passable, but more of a dust and debris shield than a skidplate. You could put some rubber or pleather skirts on it, too, if you wanted. The 4x4 has a stock heavy duty steel skidplate, but mine got bashed all the way in after an accident involving the cement base of a mailbox.

Your rear fenders looked better when they weren't rolled, but I know you were trying out that other axle so you kind of had to do that.

Your coilovers are on a hell on an angle, how does that affect the progression rate? How much travel does the rear end have? Nice work, man!

thanks the skid plate is more for sh*ts and giggles than practicality

and yea i wish i didnt have to do that to the fenders but oh well.

and the rear is pretty firm id say about 2 inches of travel if i really mash a bump.

and thanks man

nicely done. i wish i had the money and the resources to do the same thing. i like your exhaust. 2.5in exhaust piping is perfect for a ka. i used to have a 3 in and i didnt think it sounded to good. i have 2.5 with no cat and its pretty loud and has a rasp to it.

thanks man, it really wasnt to hard to put this together just alot of time and effort and trial and error, its still not done, and as for the exhaust im going to find a way to make my shotgun bozo tips fit again. and agree'd on the 2.5 anything bigger than that has too much drone IMO

I was gonna ask, where are your crazy exhaust tips?

looks good except for the rear fender.

I thought the shocks were supposed to mounted as vertical as possible? From the pic it looks like the upper shock mounts just have a tack at each end of the bracket. You might want to go in and add a little more gusseting and welding to make them more secure. The shock mounts take a lot of abuse, especially if you are going to keep autocrossing that thing. (that was you right?)

As always, love the truck.

yea bozo tips need to get grafted back on lol.

and as for the uppers its just the pic heres another.

and i got a few peoples opinions and was told the angle of the shock would add a progressive spring rate? it seems to ride really good, kinda feels like how my buddy's s13 w/ coilovers feels like.

next autocross may 16th =D

I figured it was just the angle of the dangle in that picture.

what kind of welder are you using. Just about ready to go pic up a Millermatic 211, which makes me happy in the pants

[pejsa s-13]

im using my schools huge miller mig welder, it gets the job done

i still need to try a few different things with the driveshaft and re-align the axle and make a panhard bar
