You brought it on yourself by NOT listening to advice by ppl with vast experience and knowledge in similar projects and have been part of the sport for years.. If you had made the right research and listened to what we have advice you, you wouldn't be where you are. At the beginning your project...
^^ That's a trans tunnel, notice how it goes from the main hoop seat croosmember to the floor, NOT to the dash bar.. That's how you correctly mount the trans tunnel bars, the way you did it it will interfere with your arm and with shifting.. BTW, the guy in the pic is Valdo a very well known...
And you still can't understand how to properly build a safe roll cage.^^ WTF ???? In an engineering perspective, please enlighten me how this is a safe built cage and the purpose of these bars. 1st: The bars that connect the dash bar to the main hoop have no purpose other than add...
Have been on & off with the car this last year, due to relocating to Daytona Beach, FL. But the car is going to get finished one way or another. I also started a 2 race car at the same time, a SFWD 4G63 Mirage aka "Honda Killer". Pic of Aftermarket Industries CNC oil catch cans, 1 for the RWD...
Jusging by the way you build a cage, I highly doubt you can build a house up to CODE.. You not only made my night, but my whole week. Im going to laugh out of the blue the whole week remembering your words...
I started a fb fan page dedicated to drag times. And since my old Top 50 4G63 thread was locked and cant be update it, I'll post the fb links.Dragracingtimes fb page: https://www.facebook.com/dragracingtimesTop 100 Mitsubishi cars...
Are you serious DSM's 4 Life comparing that video with your project ???? I really can't believe how hardheaded and stubborn you are that's there is no way to make you understand how wrong your build is... You want to prove us wrong so bad that you can't seem to listen what we've been saying...
I'm going to try this one last time...Cutting the whole front end was your 1st mistake. What you should have done is modified the oem firewall and fabricate a tubular subframe, thats all. The simpler the build and fabrication required the less cost it will be. The more materials needed the...
Oh boy !!!! Tsk tsk tsk !!! Cages and chassis rules arent there for decoration, they serve a purpose. SAFETY. No matter if you not going to track race, which I dont believe for a second safety is safety regardless or not of track or street use. Cages are built to safety guideliness.. on the...
If its going to be an all out street car then why are you caging it like a race car ?? And why did you cut the whole front end ?? You simply have no idea what you are doing and you sir have the biggest ego Ive seen any car guy have, you building a ticking time bomb and don't care to listen to...
The passenger post isnt welded to the floor, its welded to the short tube tying it to the ground, thats NOT right.. Call Mick from chassis builder warehouse, num 561-202-4708, he used to be a chassis designer for chassis engineering and hes a good friend of mine, tell him I sent you. Send him...
That 90degree in the pass side bar is wrong, wont pass inspection. The side bar has to be welded to the floor. Told you many times, fix that dude along with the firewall square tubing, that square rubing wont hold the front end right. Like I said, its your project but listen to us and do it right...
I gave up dude, numerous times I tried telling you, like I said Ive been working with race cars for years, have very close friends who are chassis fabricators, one of them was a chassis designer for chassis engineering, tried my best to tell you what to do and what not to do, you never wanted to...
Ive kind of sidetracked the story due to a recent fb page I opened. Have been dedicating most of my free time to the fb page, but I promise I'm going to make some time to make my best to finish the story up to the Mitsubishi present.. The facebook page Ive been working on is...
I'll call my friend who was a engineer at Chassis Engineering Inc and ask him to elaborate on the subject so I can give you a more detailed explanation, take into consideration I'm not a chassis builder and I'm explaining it in my own words what Ive learned talking to my friend.. Like I said, Im...
I used the wrong word, its not that certain bars are designed to fail. SFI cages aren't design to be rigid front to back, the front end as well as the rear end are design to not collapse into the cockpit area. The front end as well as the rear end tie points to the cockpit cage are design to...
I'm not going to begin a debate with you, as that's not the point, but Nascar technology aint in the 60s era like you think. Besides we agree that this DSM member design and fabrication aint right and it has wrong written all over, that's the point...
Will there be a point you realize you have it ALL wrong ? In which case if you can't built a front half the right way what makes you think you can build a full chassis car and for what, to race 10 seconds ??? Common man be real with yourself... From day one, even before you started murdering the...
Are you serious ??? Dude eat a snicker and wake up... I feel really sorry for you wasting time and money building the most wrong build race car I've seen... Ive tried NUMEROUS NUMEROUS times trying to give him advice and he never listed, he won't changed his way. Its useless, he has his mind set...
Update:Project RWD 4G63 DSM is very well alive but will be continued after winter. Been its such a huge build, decided to hold it for a few months and build a fun street car to start having some fun and not go insane while building the Eclipse. Decided to go with a 5th generation Mirage...
I'm looking for a broken/damaged 2G 4G63 engine, can be bare block/head, and 2G GST broken transmission for mock up purpose. Preferably from Orlando to Miami area, I'm willing to pick it up..
I just moved back to FL two months ago, and it wasnt a cheap move. The project was put on hold briefly. Im planning on going back to PR around Aug to get it ready to ship it to FL. I plan on taking it to Jerry Bickel race cars around Nov-Dec to have the 25.1 cage built.. Anyone who have followed...
Turboking15 nice setup.. Nice to see other fellow DSMers doing RWD 4G63 conversion.. Basically you project is similar to mine except Im going to be stock chassis or unibody which mean the complete front end will be left untouched and the rear frame rails are only going to be modified to fit...
No matter what engine you decide to go with it still won't be a cheap built, remember you are taking a FWD/AWD OEM chassis and having it RWD, so the fab itself will be expensive... Cutting the front end completely was a big mistake, but what's done it's done. I'm sorry to say it, but you would...
Thanks Phantom. The difference between those who called me out and me, is I'm also currently building a RWD DSM unlike the rest of them so I knew what I was talking about, plus Ive been involved with real race car teams and personally know a few chassis builders with world record cars under...
Thank you for finally listening. Now that cut the front end you need to built it based on SFI chassis. Im more than happy to better guide you towards how to built it the right way. Let me get off from work today and I'll send you useful links. I suggest you go to amazon and buy performance...
Been the front end have been conpletely cut off, the only option to safely bolt the front suspension and engine is fabricating a frame chassis front to back, meaning you have to redo the cage cause the cage needs to be welded to the frame rail. Just like a domestic car. I wish you would have...
Retrase all my post. All Ive said it wont be a cheap project like you think or thought, Ive told you the importance of safety and how its wiser to leave the chassis work to a chassis builder and fabricator. Ive told you numerous time over and over the same thing and you wont listen. Do you...
What's the point of useful criticism if you ain't going to listen. I started advicing you how to deal with the front end, you didn't listened, I said not to cut the OEM subframe and convert it into a 2 piece and you still went and did it even when I gave you useful info from another DSMer who...
OMG !!! What a nightmare, you all over the place badly... I feel sorry for you that you in no way wanted to listen to others and even without any diy skills went on with it. This will be an unsafe car and will never pass inspection. Hope you never crash, it won't be pretty... BTW, once you cut...
Like https://www.facebook.com/dragracingtimes.I administrate the page, dedicated to 1/4, 1/2, and 1 mile times. Already did the Top 100 Sport Compact album, and currently working on the Top 100 Mitsubishi. Already posted the Top 70, and have 30 more to finish the list. Will finish it...
Sorry Jeffrey, I have to update yours and add another car. I updated on the fb list, just been lazy getting around to update this list. Congrats !!!!Why can't I update/edit the list ?????
Ive ordered 3 times already from FF, all 3 where CNC parts. Still waiting on the 3rd order for a few months now, and the previous 2 orders also took a few months... I know lately he's been having cnc machine troubles of some sourt. Although I don't mind that much waiting since I'm still working...
Updated. The car is currently on hold since many of you know I just recently moved back to Florida. The Eclipse right now is in Puerto Rico and will get shipped to Florida as soon as possible and will continue working on it real soon. The SFI 25.1 cage is next...
Thank everyone who have like it... I need to finish and update the story as soon as possible, I just been real busy. I also need to update the Top 50 list..
