Dave-gerous E21

This things sick!

[e30guydownunder]

love the work your doing. makes me wish i had an E21 to hack on as well. regarding your plans for rod ends, I doubt you will comeup with something with the right thread as tie rods are genrally fine. But perhaps make some thing with the fine thread of the tierod on one end and a suitable thread on the other to accept a male rod end.

Tierod, Extra bit, Rod End

Hah maybe that will make sense

gah, I'm about to go cut the springs on my e21 and pull out that itty auto m10... for now though it will sit and wait. love What you've done so far!

[Dave-ger]

ha, thanks guise! not much progress at all since I posted those pics, but I have a couple goodies related to stance on the way, going to leave it at that so you will all have a bit of a surprise at the end. If it's not too freakishly cold this afteroon, I hope to at least finish the hacking on my sub frame and maybe at least template some of the bracing it will need. My biggest problem will probably be the steering, I was thinking an easy way to fix the angle on the steering would be to convert the rod ends to heims, drill out the steering arms, and space them down a bit, thus making them flatter and less angry at full lock. anyone know of any after market rod ends/heims for stock E21 tie rods? kind of a long shot, but minus whale ask. If I can't find any thing after market, which will probably be the case, I need to try and figure out my thread pitch and see if anything will fit (they need to be female heims)... yea, everything about the suspension on an E21 sucks.

fuck yeah!

lol. awesome.

So dirty I love it.

[Dave-ger]

I've been making a mess out of my sub frame lately because I'm tired of being bottomed out all the time... the worst part is, my car isn't even low, it's just low-ish. anyways, raising the control arms so the ball joints to max out and snap, not sure what to do about the steering, and I'm going to run shorter struts.

hopefully all this work will give my car the ability to lay frame, not sure if/how much I'd use that ability, but I want it.






it's a bit hack-tastic right now, but I think I can manage to make it all look right once I brace it all up.

4Wheelin FTW

My friend's got a Yota with a 6" lift and a 2" body lift. Hella fun

indeed, but your friend really needs to lower that thing! mine sat that tall when I got it, I've lowered it about 6" since then as a result of re-doing my suspension, it may go a bit lower yet! we shall see.

[red325]

thanks.

haven't done much on the car in the last few months because of school, work, weather, other stuff, and I've been distracted with this:

yes, dinosaurs are so awesome! they sure burn well in my rotary. ;)

I'm actually wanting to get it less ratty, it's hoopty to the max right now!. I screwed up a few things on my truck weekend before last, so I'm distracted from my car again.... oh well. I plan to repaint the whole car.. someday., and I don't want to do the trendy roof rack thing. I think it's kind of unique how it is and how it's coming along, and I'd like to keep it unique.

[Doughnut]

Keen on those dinosaurs are you? LOL

Your car is such a rat, needs roof racks and less interior/ color matching panels.

Love it!

not much of an update, the samurai seats I was trying to use ended up not working out, going to try out some old honda seats real soon. in these pics you can see my sweet new stencil and kind of see the back seat out of Janderson's car that kind of fits.

[phenryiv1]

This thread makes me want to buy the E21 that is sitting (with title) at my local JY. If they weren't such misers on the price, I'd do it.

Maybe.

[Dave-ger]

thank you sirs.
