Nissanubaru Micra WRX i'll explain

[h701micra]

Yup still in hiding but
Engine is built, in and out like a yoyo.
That leads me to chassis... the tunnel has been box section built. And the engine bay strengthened with the odd bod tubes. Currently in planning to redesign chassis legs so that I change spark plugs with removing the engine.
Which then leads me to suspension. Front is relatively simple and will tie in with new chassis legs too
Bodywork is on the backburner though.
Other than that its looking good. But gotta keep everything in it so its a pain in the ass. Its plodding

Lots of noises indeed.... that much crap in it, it all vibrates... and because the tunnel isn't panelled yet all the exhaust fumes come inside... but so does the noise yo

 

[Belly93]

[h701micra]

ok maybe not so easy to find, maybe because nearly all dubbers are on banded steels or steels of some type

[h701micra]

4metres of 50mm x 10mm mild steel.. £4.69.. that'll do nicely

 

[padraicR]

[Huggy444]

4metres of 50mm x 10mm mild steel.. £4.69.. that'll do nicely

How thick?

 

[padraicR]

50 x 10 mm
So that means 50mm wide and 10 mm thick ,

He got a right good bloody bargain there !

 

[Huggy444]

That's what I thought, 10mm a bit thick? Not that I know anything it just surprised me was all

 

[h701micra]

Nah... boost manifold yo

 

[padraicR]

Have you methods of machining andy ? The fancy pancy
bits like milling machines and lathes ?
Meant to ask you this before or maybe i already did ?

 

[Huggy444]

Nah... boost manifold yo

Thought that was for banded steels

In they case Makes sense Andy

 

[h701micra]

Fraid so
Big ass pillar drill and a relatively docile but effective lathe
Got a flow bench too when it works

 

[h701micra]
