STIDUB - the neverending saga - shifter & rod mod/install!!!!

STIDUB · 2009-07-29T13:01:26+00:00

ive been asked, theres nothing too special to show currently but i figured i should make a start... http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/STIDUB/ brief yes but feel free to ask questions as i go along, hopefully some decent stuff happening real soon More updates later! (again not much time to post but ill try my best) UPDATE/ what im doing outline aim - street rego'd track capable arse kicking super! (ive told a mate ill go out to a drift night at qld raceway & have a go-dont laugh if i fail miserably) suspension: V-force adjuster struts camber/caster tops all new urethane bushings rebuilt steeringbox - i can do yours if you like new balljoints /tie rod ends flipped outer tie rods from Brad (topline kit) 28mm torsion bars -more of a rough guess from other conversions height adjuster from custom vee dub so i can raise/lower 4" easily - better than adjustable spring plates urethane springplate bushings I think that covers that part Trans: 091 based box LanD intermediate housing - to fit a bug nose cone, fits better & shifts better apparently, im yet to prove this, never driven a bus eventually a bunch of albins gears but not enough time/$$ currently RJES bellhousing - provided i suss out placement of a clutch mc < thats progressed to the point where its cut & weld time for people that are curious also on the wish list is moly output flanges cv's axles & stubs Brakes: VWCOOLS kit EA/EB falcon rears i believe custom front hubs - Vwcool 5x114.3 stud pattern all made for ease of replacment consumable parts all standard vw bearings & seals standard ford discs & pads who can complain about that? calipers on the front are vr ish era commodore, may change to something else after testing how they work using a 24mm kombi master, again need to play around making it fit with a hydraulic clutch mc, again may change this to bug, its all trial and error to get effective braking &decent pedal feel Engine... sti dub wouldnt be STIdub without a subie would it? what else... umm interior im yet to even start on but typical buckets, gauges & such, yet to dive into the electrics side of things Body... 71 superbeetle, we know what they look like aero guards from vvds clear lenses on early lights 76> front bumper with indicators ugly elephant foot tail lights - ive never seen a mass produced part made so poorly inverted firewall shortly & widened inner guards under rear guards (see westi's work on micks 58 for the guard work) wheels... Pre au falcon - so wheels to suit xa-el falcon wheels, the offset is +6, au> is +36 as are most late jap cars, finding low offset wheels is VERY difficult, finally picked up the set pictured look similar to a set you can get for 911's so i cant complain 😀 i would of liked 18s but these shall do for now, beggers cant be choosers, also anything under a 17" looks rediculously small under aeros so dont bother if your considering going this route 🙂 i think thats enough for now... any questions ill be happy to answer, yes even $$$ if you want to build similar & would like an idea (im my own minister of war & finance!) hope someone finds this interesting, i spent awhile typing so appreciate dammit! 😂
