Skid racing build
 

So I have been looking for a new shell to build so that I may have a proper chassis. So I found this forgotten 92 sc300 at a shop about 1.5 hours from my house I payed 500 for it delivered. This car was pretty stripped already but I needed to take it further here is a few interior shots after sound dead was takin out and before starting the cage.

After that I started on the engine bay I will be running knuckles and big wheels so I didnt need wheels wells I will be adding supports for the strut towers front and rear.

So I have been looking for wheels since I beleave you build the body of your car around the wheels you want to run so I found these in LA about a 6 hour drive from my house.

I will keep this updated as I move along The cage is in progress right now hope to see it done maybe next week then finish building brackets for the v-mount and then prep interior and engine bay and trunk for paint.

I love seeing builds like this. Keep up the good work.

One word...SUSCRIBED!!! Looks like it's going to be a great Build thread! :)

What knuckle/tie rod end setup you looking to run? I'm on awesome shop knuckles and ordering b-ver rods on Friday. Also what coils? I'm on bc and can't say enough about them just amazing how smooth and how much grip I can get

Yep, it's official, this is going to be awesome :)

Subscribed for sure.

Glad to see you found a shell. I've watched your 240 build on AZ240 till now. I as well am about to start my 1JZ R154 swap in SC this upcoming Monday.

Subscribed!

whats up sticks it me Gerald remember me from back in the day over at old secret service?

I am going to be running FEAL coil overs with 14k front and 8k rear springs custom valved.

I will probably do all battle version arms and PBM knuckles.

The car had ls400 calipers laying in it so I lucked out on that saves about 200 bucks.

I dont know how diffrent it will be to drive after being in a s13 for so long. I am excited to be in a longer car though I am cutting everything out that I can to save some weight.

Man sounds really really familiar and you coupe looks even more so...

i really like my sc over my coupe i had... There is a big deifference in the feel of the car from one to the other but it didnt take long to settle in... its actually alot smoother and easier to drive IMO over the s13, if you check my buil look at my steering setup man if you going for a track setup the quickener and all that jazz was a god send lol

After a few days of work on the cage its looking pretty tight.

I also modified a is300 steering column to fit in so I wont have any of the electric tilt and other things.

I like the wheels.

Very nice.

Damn, Subscribed! I want to see every update this thing gets!

Dammmnnn I want tubbed wells :( Awesome build dude, primo choice on the weds

After a few more days of cage work we started to plasma out the factory rear fire wall to run the down tubes and prep for the new firewall.
