[Pure_JDM]

i'll be checking back to this...

[lenox_240]

keep n posting more pics as u go, GL bro.

[1993ka24det]

I dont know what I should do about the suspension geometry. Should I drop the hole rear subframe and copy it to the new frame or what? Can someone give me some Ideas, because Suspension is about my only weak point on this project.

[MrsFieldsKOUKI]

Damn dude. Crazy shit gl man keep us updated

[conrad_s13.5]

thats like the most important part i would imagin.....lol

id keep it as close to stock as you can,. do a little reading up, and maybe tweak a few things from there.

this is one of those projects you cant just get up and run with it

good luck man

[blueshark123]

damn this is awesome did u build the chassisor buy it from ariel?

[fckillerbee]

so my understanding is that you have nothing done. You have only started to weigh car parts?

[240sxrb25]

I weigh all the parts on my cars before i decide to ditch my project too

[h2v7]

pix when done asap

[atutt]

The Ariel looking car is called the Mako I believe.
He has a build blog on locostusa.com

[anthonyr sil8ty]
