well i fitted the camber plates, i still need to reinforce the tower with a piece of 5 mm metal.. so this is just the basic set up .



Also the engine bay will be black when i drop in the combo charger !


I can drop it about 2' lower but how do i steer then haha these are 17' 40 245's


the office front cage not yet installed

i like it!! need some flares. what kind of rims are those, i kinda like them.

frank280zx

They are Borbet A's



i have the center caps but ill be running them without.. gives a more racy look i think.

I do not need flares for my setup sofar the wheel stay in the well, i just need to remove the little lip or roll it, for safety.

Yeh with rolled lips you can go wide as it is, the 9.5 x 17 rear wheels on mine will be good with ~255/40 R tyres. Don't want the effective track too wide for circuit work, otherwise it may be too difficult to control with the power which will be available

I have 275 for the rear ( 10J from my measurements that will work out fine, however we will all find out soon enough .) the fronts are 8,5's

SHADY280

then roll them lips!! where do ya get wheels like those, i need some extra 17's for auto-x and the race car. so 2 sets. they prolly cost a grand per set knowing my luck. seems nobody else here really cares aboot ultimate handling?!? ever get that impression? ill be trying a simmilar setup on my track car. i got the top camber plates just like yours. i just gotta figure out the upper bearing part. prolly simple, you explained it b4, i just never clued in without pix

There seems to be some opinion that the S130 won't handle so why bother. But with the stock suspension in good condition they do handle well, trouble is the stock suspension is usually in bad shape after 25 or so years and it shows.

Paul Newman would disagree .

haha i know some guys at my club in s30 and z32 that now dont think so anymore

lww

Frank, who's camber plates are those?

The body is finally done and it's time for me to get to business finishing my ZXT...

frank280zx

LWW they are cusco plates for a legacy ( read only 125 instead of 180 and up ! ) i do need to reinforce the strut tower though!

jfairladyz

Whaaaaa?!? I didn't think I'd live to see the day

SHADY280

i got some from ebay as well for 180, but shoulda bought the cheaper cusco ones. and there blue dangit!! frank, im gonna have to review all your mods, there so spreadout, it gonna take some time. ive decided to start work on the track car again!!! paint and rollbar first.

lww

Ok, Frank, don't be coy. What year and body style Legacy? What did you use for the rear?

frank280zx

I think they are 88/89 model year (so the boxy one)
On the rear i run cusco s13 plates.. Useless for the trailing arm design, but i found a good deal on ebay. Cheaper than pillow ball plates.. witch they essentially are, also they fit with no adaptation.
Actually i only use these on the rear to loose some extra height of the rear struts, and thus giving more lowering/raising adjustability.

^now that i dont follow^

looks awesome, anymore pictures of the entire car? Im very jealous

hmmm.... i like that camber plate idea looks pretty simple, well, for the most part lol.... and what kind of steering wheel is that? is it adjustable length/detatchable? just curious since i will need to be replacing mine.
