Got the shocks on, the steering stuff is started as well.







And the coolest picture so far:

Subscribed! This is motorsport heaven!

One question I have is why is the radiator so far from the engine and how are you going to route the coolant lines?

[LivingLegend06]

Whats with the massive spacer on the tie rid ends? That doesnt look like ideal loading.

Is the suspension all subaru parts?

Thanks!

The coolant will run through tubes in the center tunnel just like a Porsche Boxster.

Good eye. The spacer/adapter is there to get the correct bump steer geometry because we are using a 911 steering rack. The tie rod location must be raised 77mm from the point it was on the Solstice (Pontiac Solstice a arms.) There's a 5/8" thick bolt running through the adapter and it is also bolted to the upright. See pic below





Also, tail lights are now mounted!

Good God, I can't believe I haven't clicked on this thread until now. This thing will be a blast when it's all done.

Seeing this picture makes me want to liquidate a bunch of toys to fund a project.

Excellent work and attention to detail. Keep it coming. What are your plans with the car? SCCA racing or auto-x monster?

[jaywood]

Thanks guys :)

We plan on taking it to a few tracks somewhat local. It will be doing auto-x as well :)

It will be CA street legal so it will be mostly street driven

Looks much safer with that extra bracket on there. The front hubs appear to be splined for axles, so those cant be solstice parts. What are all your different suspension components coming from?

Im excited to see it in road legal trim. Have you picked out tires and wheels yet?

[TR-42guy]

Actually the Solstice/sky like the Corvette does have splined front hubs. There is only one part number for all four hubs.
