    The Frankenkar Transformation

    This thread got a little tricky... Enter at your own risk.






    Since I wont be using this car as a test mule anymore I have decided to build a street machine as close to a Group 4 car as possible and still be street legal.

    The images from the beginning:

    The $50 Car...



    The reason it was only $50 (free if I hadn't felt so bad for the lady that owned it)



    It's a Runner (and some rims)



    Fresh Transmission: ( just a little tweaked on)



    Fresh LSD (Just a wee bit tighter than stock)
    and New Axles:



    The Power-plant: (yes the bar is black now)



    Top Secret shit being done at Mason's



    Okay... Not so Secret now:









    To be continued....

                          The rear strut tower brace is so strong it is forcing the towers apart creating negative camber by adding axial loads on the cross forces of the subframe.

                          I would post proof and diagrams, but you would just laugh and make fun of me... so you'll have to take my word.
                          Below the radar...

                              you dont have to be completely correct but a few well placed commas and periods make this post much easier to read.

                              As for the rear camber, im willing to bet its not the camera, but rather that the back of the car was just let down off of a jack.
