MK3: ADZ to AMK to BWS(R36!)

[HaydEn]

Great thread, wow what a process and brilliant work. VR6 is a great donk, really like the cold air intake solution.

Photo above is a significant 'adding of lightness'.

Good luck with the rest of the journey.

Cheers

Thank you.

Keen to get it back together and see if we can get into the 11’s without breaking anything.

Awesome build!

Got sent the wrong hubs for the rear took a little while to rectify the issue but the rears are now mostly complete. I need to get some shorter struts (MK1/Polo/Ibiza) as the car is so light in the back the shocks aren’t compressing.



I over measured the length of the rear beam arms - the wheel base has been increased by a fair amount. I had to clearance the rear bumper some more.


Now with the rear brakes fitted I was able to finish the brake lines off. Just need to grab some p-clamps the secure the braided line to the body.


I also grabbed some 4mm plate to make a few things. Firstly a mount for the shifter and staging brake. Will get the rear section folded and welded into roughly this location.

Pushed it out on to flat ground to assess the suspension situation. Really need to make up some side skirts now.


Can see the extent of wheelbase extension now.

front wheel sitting a fair way back in the arch too or just the photo?
Whats the go with side skirts, line them up with the front bumper to keep the air flowing past. cant say I have ever thought about them being a performance factor

Combination of photo angle and the wheels were turned.

Correct, keep air from going under neath the car. Also for looks at this point!

Attempted to bleed brakes on the weekend. Found out that a lot of the connections leaked - I had my suspicions because of a crap flaring tool, but thought they would still be ok. I was wrong. So redid almost all of the flares.

Before



After


My initial tool didn’t give a good first ‘bubbling’ step, so was only a ‘single’ flare.


Photo less updates:

I then stripped out more wiring (headlights, taillights and anything else that wasn’t critical)

Put the dash back in, and removed the front front sway bar.
Chopped out some metal in the headlight area’s.
Test fitted some of the power steering lines, still need to figure out where I will mount the reservoir.
Fixed the crap wheel alignment.
Fitted the correct hub rings and lug nuts for the Honda rear end.
Also went through and started replacing the oem bolts with some light weight Porsche sourced alternatives

its electric power steering pump now yeah? any reason your not removing it completely?

It’s still hydraulic/OEM power steering at this point, later on I will go to electric.

Power steering delete sucked in the other car. With the locked diff and radials the car steers all over the place, would be very difficult to control with no assisted steering.

Very cool mate, the rear beam looks great.

Couldn’t resist an ITB test fit whilst I had the intake manifold off to do a carbon clean.





Been fairly quiet, remade brake lines again - this time in stainless steel line. Bled the two systems and all good!

Struggling to get the rear side glass out without smashing them.

How much space the rad and panel? looks to be a fair way back from the end of the chassis rails

assume remove the rear windows involves trying to hack the sealant from the inside of the car?

Plenty of room, it would work with stock radiator. The closest point is the cylinder one trumpet to headlight, there’s only about 20mm there - not sure how I’ll make an air duct/airbox for it in the future though!

Yeah I’ve hacked it out, just needed to be more aggressive with the pry bar to get a wire through the fully cut it - which I was able to do yesterday with a bit of patience.

headlight delete will sort that.

yeah right. guess there was no plan on them ever being removed, bit of structural glass

[HaydEn]

Tinted lexan windows are my new favourite thing. Can’t even tell they aren’t glass (other than the rivets) for example the last few external photos of the car have been with the lexan windows in too.
