Looks like a blast! What would have to be done to get the speedo working?

 

Not sure! Prob just a matter of wiring it up te Lexus one and that's it lol. I don't speed or drive like a **** everywhere so it's not necessary. Car is gonna be a dedicated track car pretty soon here so not like it'll be need

 

I'd imagine using the KA Speed sensor, and wiring a speedo healer would do the trick. Most VSS are three pin (power/ground/signal) so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Using a the toyota VSS and putting it into the KA transmission PROBABLY won't work. And even if you can fit it physically, then the speedo would probably read off.

 

Wow great write up, thanks. And for coming up with this

 

all these manual SC400's come from east coast ...florida...nice work man!!! looks like fun!

 

UPDATE: like I said I'm going to take the next few months and focus on setting up my chassis to be more competitive/presentable.

Ordered Battle Version traction arms and solid rack mount bushings thru Bravo Motorsports. Quality just from looking at these products looks top notch. Pricing was great considering all the other options we have for this chassis (not many), plus all these parts have already been track tested and put thru their paces. Quality > quantity for sure.

Can't wait to order my toe arms and all the solid bushings they offer to get the rear end doing what it's supposed to!









Going to install the rack bushings with plenty of pics as soon as possible. I'm considering waiting until I get the toe arms to put on the traction arms as well. I guess we'll just have to see!

 

inspiring thread good work man

Looks nice, I'm a little bit of a noob when it comes to suspension, what's the point of having adjustable traction arms?

 

Aftermarket components are usually stronger than factory (unless you buy cheap stuff) and they'll hold their settings better under load (accel, turns, etc) and allow a lot more adjustment for alignment settings compared to oem. Plus it looks fancy!

 

So I got to talking to a few people and I decided if I wanted to take this driving thin seriously I'm going to have to have a car that's representable and clean. So the mission to get the car painted began! I had a local do it for me since I have no idea how to paint and he did and INCREDIBLE job! Super pumped on the new look!









A slight tease of the color : )







Wait for it.....



























Wait for it....




















BAM! I'm so pumped on it! Lol. This is the first time I've ever had a car painted








Really excited to have the car one color and clean finally! Working something out now with a wheel sponsor so I'm really excited for how 2013 is looking!

Thanks for looking!

Looks great man!

 

I also have never had a car painted. I wonder why the antenna or lights werent removed? Are the door jambs and engine bay painted as well? Are you keeping the same wheels and color? I think gold rims would be nice..

 

Looks great.

 

Looking good my dude. Is that color a factory color for any other car company?

 

It was a hook up job. He didn't do the jambs. He did the entire job under 24 hours. He didn't remove any of the lights or antenna. If there's anything that's left out of place in going to cover it with black paint and leave it. This is a track car and it's purpose is to be abused so there's not a ton of devotion to cosmetics : )

It's a factory 2011 Chrysler color! Not sure which car exact but I hope it helps!

Thanks for the compliments guys!
