Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily

Matt,

Laser cutting is my hobby.... welll making data and get it cut at my mate's place.
Let me know what you want to get cut.

My eyes feels bit sore after doing some TIG welding!
I will be able to do fusing of your coil over if you wish. just bring it over when you are ready.

Cheers

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily

Hi Matt,

What you need to do is to take it to them and tell them to fuse crap weld by using TIG.
If you are stuck, bring it over and I will TIG it for you.

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily

Hi Matt,

I have looked at your spare subframe today.
There are few holes and what is large slot used for?

Can I make subframe out of 60x40?

Cheers

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily

Hey Matt, Don't be such a softy! When you are young and a luck of fund is make you better an adult! I didn't get where I am easy myself. Like many of mate told me to keep it simple. K.I.S.S. is what you needed to do. Keep it simple and stupid! Look at my Mini project, I made it so complicated. I hav...

Re: 360 LSD.

Thanks peeps! I will say this though. This racing cars are good trial for those LSDs. 1 of them is just over the limit of what it will take, so I will be very much nervous about it. I was happy with 300Bhp as that is my goal for my ultra modified 1.3(bored out to 1500cc) turbo engine to produce! My ...

Re: 360 LSD.

Hi Chris, I didn't take your post as being negative. I work in automotive industries myself and see so many things that is laughable. I can design and get it made by laser cutting and so on. But diff.... I don't have access to CNC milling or lathe machines anymore. I will be taking liners out of my ...

Re: 360 LSD.

Hi, This is torsen type only because I could only find a guy who can make said "this is the type I make!". I have only driven AWD with clutch type LSDs in Suzuki Cultus AWD with turbo in Mini Van. I loved it. It only :shock: had 185Bhp at the time but it was very quick and fun to chuck it about. If ...

Re: Suspension lowering, angles and set-up

Yes, it will but all of you don't drive with standard height.
So if I make anything which improve camber as well as angle of bottom arm. It will help you lot, surely!?

Re: Suspension lowering, angles and set-up

OK, So I will make CAD design of adjustable camber plate then cut out from 3mm steel or similar to OEM. Then weld it to your spare subframe. Now, what I need to know is space I can have. If anyone can help me with taking photos, I will be happy to sell you a kit I can make for a cost price! Cheers A...

Re: Suspension lowering, angles and set-up

Hi Matt, I did tell you about 2" before... So 69mm up? That will be too much and no space I bet. But whatever you can go up is better than std set up I guess. Can you take photo of you car with the tyre off but compressed by using a jack to simulate normal stance? That way, I know what space I have ...

Re: Suspension lowering, angles and set-up

Hey Matt,

I need pic from the side pref with arms up as if car is on the ground.
So you will need to take off a wheel and jack it up using a bottom suspension point.
This way, I can see what it looks like at normal condition and work out how much higher I need to/able to move.

Cheers

Re: Suspension lowering, angles and set-up

Hi Tom, I think you sould go with smaller Jap engine as they are relatively economical and easy to tune. I hate to think the cost of Fiat twink cost to buy and cost to run! These days, you need to have small engine capacity as well as big BHP! I know of few Gti engine running 180bhp with std interna...
