I “finished” the shift linkage. Everything looks great, it goes in every gear but theres one major issue: 1st is on the right and fifth is on the left (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif). I didn’t mess up, not totally. The original shifter in my old car id from an mr2 and I thought id be fancy and get a k tuned shifter. This was a bad idea because apparently the k tuned shifter pulls the cable when you move the stick to the right instead of pushing it like the mr2. So maybe a good cable shift mechanism (minus cables) and a subaru cv to 914 stock cv custom axle will be fir sale soon



Thank you for being the guinea pig, I was just looking at those shift boxes on ebay the other night and almost pulled the trigger on one. I wasnt sure how it would fare being designed for the front wheel drive Honda.

Progress has been… bumpy lately. Since my good friend past away, and racing two cars at the same time at Sebring my motivation to do anything tanked. With that being said i have done many good things to the car, starting with headlights.

I used a very short gas strut to lift the light itself and i used a door latch catch to keep the lights down. I used laser cut parts to slot everything and leave everything totally adjustable. It will eventually be activated by a pull cable but that gets to wait till after powder coat. Its just one of those things that make me smile

The door latch was a clever idea. Sorry about your buddy passing. Did you make a new video update yet? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I also got some used tires to mount up on my fikse rims. Amazingly i bought a set in the exact sizes i wanted so its a perfect mock up. 275 fronts 315 rears. Meat. Neat. Attached Image

Comparing old rear 245s to 315, this is a comically big tire.

Nice video! The details keep coming from your build and I like your vision, especially the headlights...gotta keep those. And sorry to hear about losing your friend...that's never easy. Clearing your head by getting back to work is good therapy. Keep sane my friend!

Sorry to hear about your friend.

Somehow I missed your video and update March and was wondering about the build. Congrats! That thing will be a beast. Love those Fikse wheels and have been contemplating using the same for years.

Got the body sandblasted and epoxy primed. It seems odd because now i have to repair the rust, but in North Carolina the humidity is so high it will flash rust. So now i get to hate life haha
