Builds SupraCruza (2 Viewers)

Got some extra waky stuff planned for it way down the road.

When you going to get to the waky stuff?

I guess I have NOS to finish?

 

[Landbender]

Day 2 of wiring
All the lights except “brights” are wired minus the trigger wires
Relays moved

 

[Landbender]

Nos solenoids are mounted and are getting wired to the factory cruse control switch

Exhaust is finished, tig welded stainless, combined with a sleek O2 sensor mounted

Got the fuse box wired to the relay panel

Relay panel is about 50% wired to the car

 

[Landbender]

Not finalized yet but hey I’ll take it
Just the steering column and the engine harness left

 

[Landbender]

Drive shaft fits and is within operation angles Everything is pretty much wired except the doors
Doing a basic function test tomorrow, all the light, stereo starter ect

Need to do all of the fluids

Going to double check every bolt then I guess I will take it for a drive

 

[Landbender]

Everything is going exactly as planned I swear

But did it work? (the CV separator)

Lol nope, that thing can stay on there I can see well enough to measure

Dialing in cv axle lengths. Have very little axle plunge <1” so I’m going to shorten the inner so the shaft doesn’t contact the cup on droop
When I designed the suspension I roughly estimated where the joints were so they would be in the suspension geometry which minimizes axle plunge. Obviously an alignment and all that changes that slightly so zero plunge is almost impossible, just like bump steer.
Hopefully 80 series birffs fit in the 100 series spindles so I can use RCV outers, definitely a long shot but it’s gotta be close.

As far as starting it. Battery is on the way actually got a nice one this time instead of the random one that 10 years old.
New starter is in.
Past that it’s mostly a grocery list of small jobs
And details that aren’t crucial for testing

How do you like that Arcan floor jack? Need a good floorjack soon...

Absolutely no question the best floor jack I have ever used

 

[Landbender]

Limit straps are in
80 series joints fit like a glove into the 100 series spindles

Good Friday clean after manufacturing some stuff for customers. Was gunna drive it
Fuel line took a piss in my face so decided not to
Little things keep popping up as they do but they will eventually run out

Have a handful of wires to cross
Boost controller
Fan
Wipers
No big deal
I’d like to add some extra strength to the trans before
Outside of that to wheel it I don’t even think I’ll need 4wd probably more fun in 2wd obviously will get 4wd down the line

Front diff needs to go down like 1-2”
No big deal

Can't wait to see your first drive!

 

[clx16]

@scottryana He promised sweet jumps I believe.

 

[I Lean]

That looks angry! And not like an 80 at all.

 

[Landbender]

I really tried to drive it today
Last AN10 fitting did this which led to this
Have a great weekend

 

[Landbender]

Can't wait to see your first drive!

If it’s the last thing I do, I’m going to invite one of my film buddies down to do a video

Even the CV axle has 80 series parts
