Finally made a start on my lower control arms today

Did you bend those up or is it extrusion that you can buy off the shelf?

Looks a lot neater and quicker than cutting and shutting a standard lca.

Pressed up some 3mm mild plate, yeh look a lot neater I think

Well I bought another 30 today, this is replacing my ke70 build as it already has a built 2tg, t50 and celica diff, I seem to have an obsession with these things haha

Looks in good condition.

Yeh it's pretty good, few little tidy up jobs but other than that good as gold

Are you going to close the box on the bottom of the LCAs??

 

The Celcia's were open "C" section and I was surprised how smashed up they got. We didn't close them right up afterwards, just the middle section. Same on the g'box crossmember after that was bent to hell.

Yes I am going to put 2mm sheet on the bottom, no real reason for it I just feel like doing it, considering this is a dedicated track car if I smash them I should sell my cars and take up knitting because I can't drive for shit

Lca's coming along, gotta make up some rose jointed radius rods then finish the arms

looking good mate, can't wait to see this thing done :P

Thanks mate, me either

Yeah I like what you're doing with the LCA's. So what is the ball joint you're using, and it looks like you need to put your own taper on it or something??

They are standard series 5 rx7 lower ball joints, no taper or thread, it slides into a hole in the hub and a bolt locks it in buy sitting in the groove similar to a pto coupling on a tractor

Radius rods and lca's are almost finish, might finally get this thing rolling on all 4

Nice.
