ezcruiser Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 wow, i guess that 3-4k budget is really gonna be stretched out.... I would like to have a video camera the day it is tested! I want to see more of that V8 Civic build! That is rediculous: http://s249.photobucket.com/albums/gg205/t76vr4/?action=view¤t=V8CIVICBURNOUT.flv Here are his photos, including more of the AE86 build and the V8 civic build(shows rear axle): http://s249.photobucket.com/albums/gg205/t76vr4/?albumview Quote Link to comment

kiznook Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Somewhat scary? I would say FUCKING TERRIFYING! seriously, does any of it look safe? I don't even really know where to begin. Thank god that it wont (hopefully) ever be driven on public roads, and if there's anything right in this world, no sanctioned event would EVER let that pile pass tech. WOW! another example of why you should look out for "Teh Driftarz" on the road, who knows when their shit will fall apart and come flying into your lane :eek: p.s. this isn't the first scary corolla build I've seen, but I think it takes the cake Quote Link to comment

fastdadd Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 i think it is going to be on the next episode of pinks Quote Link to comment
djmoreron Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 i think he should have routed teh exhaust a little higher, maybe cut out the reverse light and put it there. that would be tits. Quote Link to comment
djlotus Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I'm gonna wait til the car's done before I say anything. But, I will say this, the rims were baller on that car. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 2eDeYe;45032'']Wow, I now feel way better about my fab skills... :P haha Thats the same thing I was thinking :D I always worry if I should re-use cerain bolts or by new ones... I don't know how much I trust new bolts as far as quality goes. I can't imagine trusting my suspension on a few pieces of square tubing welded to the floor pan! I want to know what the fire wall looks like to :D I like to take my time a feel good about popping my hood. Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Dude, anyone else notice the car is being held up with scisor jacks and a vertical 4x4 piece of wood. Jeezus, good way for someone to get killed. The roll bar looks like it would crush easier than a soda can. Guess no one on this builds actually cares about safety. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Will this stay to................gether? http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg205/t76vr4/rolla12008.jpg[/img]"] Is this what happened the first time it was on the street? http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg205/t76vr4/bike.jpg[/img]"] Does that roll bar have hinges? Aren't they supposed to be rigid? http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg205/t76vr4/rolla2001.jpg[/img]"] Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 No way that diff stays like that. :poop: The roll cage is bolt in. They are very effective at making it appear that you have a roll cage when in reality it's not. :rollseyes: As far as the crashed bikes, I dunno....:blink: Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 all i have to say is people like this give fabricators a bad name for one the exhaust is under the car for a reason for 2 thouse have to be the shittieset welds i have seen in a long time not to mention where the suspention parts are welded im going to laugh my ass off whenhes going down the street and the rearend falls out and the rack drops and he crashes what a dumbfuck as for the asc "comments" the asc is there for as reason just because you can pass the test doesnt mean you have the skill to do it and the asc is a very good thing and just because there asc doesnt mean the can fabricate that whole thred just ruffled my feathers what a piece of shit Quote Link to comment
tiltnose510 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I'm not going to badmouth engineers anymore... It is a chromemoly Cusco cage which I don't believe meets any sactioning body standards. I have one in my shop for an S14 an it is just a really wobbly bunch of bars when it is assembled on the shop floor. Not to mention, does he really expect this to put up with the 280hp that the 1jz delivers? Quote Link to comment

I can see that now. I thought it was a motor and rear suspension. Bet it'll look something like this soon. Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 He says that he is getting a degree in engineering, HAHAHAHA. As an engineering major what I have found is that alot of guys are really dumb when it comes to hands on stuff...like fabrication. Take Formula SAE for expample. Its about 50/50 of really nicely done cars and cars where you could tell that they didn't have alot of fab experience. In my eyes, experience counts for alot more than education.

djmoreron Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 experience is the part of education that you cant fake.... but some people are quick learners Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I personally have welded suspension in my car, I don't mind it if its done right, know there's is really scary, who would mount it to the car so poorly? sheet metal straps? I doubt that stuff would even hold up an exhaust system for that long haha I think all there project is lacking really is time. Well and a good welder :D If they spent 10 the hours they could do everything correctly. The cage looks good to me, its a bolt in cage and in my eyes is more for "cool" factor than "safety" which they actually need. I say the one tiltnose is talking about at his shop. I want to see a vid of that car on the street :D Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 How to build the ultimate corolla; a 12 step program Step 1: Appropriate clothing. Dress for the job, proper workwear is essential for any mechanic Step 2: Make sure the car is suspended safely in the air Step 3: Cut out the firewall. no sense letting it get in your way. Step 4: Fabricate some good solid motor mounts...sure that square tube will work. What's that? your cousin Billy wants to try welding? sure why not Step 5: Relocate the steering rack. But don't worry, this part doesn't need to be perfect. Fuck it hardly needs to be secured Step 6: ALWAYS use correct saftey equipment, especially when running an OA cutting torch overhead Step 7: Oh did I forget to mention work fuel? You'll need lot's of quality brew, Bud Light of course being the finest. And some flaming hot cheetos, but be prepared, after those cheetos, you'll be happy you have that litter box in the corner. Step 8: REMEMBER, 16ga flat stock works for EVERYTHING Step 9: DIY strut towers. The floorpan is strong enough...right? Step 10: Confirm your ability to build a sweet car. As if anyone is doubting you anyway. Step 11: Paint fixes everything Step 12: Who among us isn't bored with the same old exhaust system. UNDER the car is too trendy. Lets be different, run that shit through the trunk suckka. Don't worry, having the exhaust right next to the poly fuel cell will be just fine Quote Link to comment
808DA6 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Its comical and yet very sad. The whole time that I was reading the thread I kept thinking to myself, "these guys CAN'T be serious!" What a waste. Waste of a Hachi. Waste of a 1JZ. Hope they don't end up killing someone. -Brian Quote Link to comment
Midnight Titan Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Wow. I can't fabricate, weld, or stuff like that. And I can tell that this has FAIL written all over it. I hope noone gets hurt during the test, maybe just the person that thought it was a good idea. I don't why, but out of all the pics the one with the rear "strut tower" saddens me. I'm glad that I at least grabbed some suspension and chassis engineering books so I can get a better understanding of how to do things. I think they should've done the same thing. Putting the exhaust next to the gas tank, I actually can't think of anything to say. Like I said, I can't fabricate and I'm not an engineer. But, I think I can build/design a better setup.
