Why thank you sir! Coming to any events in OK next year?


It will. Just take your time with it. Roll on the glue as smooth as you can, let the flock material "fall" onto the dash, and let dry for 48 Hours before handling it. Done.

wow, everything you do is on the professional level, and ballar as fck!! if you dont mind me asking, what is your profession?

scottie

Thanks man. See responses on previous page.

Thank you for the tip about the rollers. I need to go buy more materials soon.

couple follow up questions:
-About how far away did you have the can from the dash? 12-18"?
-What PSI did you use on your compressor as well. Flock-it recommended 25-30psi use.

Also any updates on your build man? how is the new chassis coming along??

I applied the flock from the air gun canister @ 18-20 psi. I held the gun roughly 18-20" away to cover a greater area. You will see how it applies after a minute. The only time I got close than a foot was on hard to reach areas. Just remember you can never apply too much. It isn't paint. You want to build up a nice even layer. Shake off the excess and apply more.

The chassis is undergoing the dreaded "fill this spot, weld this hole, shave this, tuck that, remove all needless items" part. Rear quarters are getting welded up and I have begun work on the front firewall. Drivers seat mount is done, passenger bracket will arrive end of this week. I have decided to make them fixed to provide more safety and lowest seating position. The trans tunnel will be modified for greater clearance and removable top to expose the bell housing bolts.

Once this is done I will post some more pics. Once this is completed, the cage work will begin. Then the real excitement (for me anyways) starts lol.

Dude your build is F***ing awsome! I also have a S13 coupe sleeping in my garage... You make me want to start another build but my wallet don't want to hahha

I've been watching this thread for a few years now. Still as impressive as ever, but dear lord, get it on a track and post some videos before some members die of old age!

scottie

That's my secret. I'm waiting to take advantage of senior rates at events. Thus how I will afford pro am competition.

Zak

Possibly the best thing I've seen all week! Aha

scottie

Time for another upgrade. Not only is this Sweet Mfg collapsible column and quick release lighter, it is super smooth with ZERO shaft play. "lol"


Customized seat brackets. I decided to go with Planted as they offer the lowest brackets for the S chassis. However, like everything else, it was good enough. We dropped them down 1/2", moved them inward (closer to tunnel) 3/4". I had to massage some of the sheet metal for bottom clearance but did not modify floor (a few sanctioning bodies forbid it).





Rear quarters are cut and new sheet metal is curved and ready to be installed. However, this is now the point for media blast to allow a quick process of the remaining fabrication, cage and stitch welding. Next updates will be huge guys. Stay tuned!

drewr4411

Awesome update!

I also went with planted for my seat brackets. I had to massage the floor a little on the drives side. Passenger side no issues at all.

That switch panel looks amazing!!! Is that along with your engine harness all one kit? Or is the switch panel separate?

Engine harness will tie into the main control panel, which in turn is operated by the switch panel. The ECU will do majority of operating items it typically controls (fans, ignition, etc). However I've made it to where the ecu will activate the Accusump and the switch panel will activate the fuel pump. I want total control of the fuel from my fingers.

Javi802

That steering column is intriguing.

Do you have to fab anything up to make it work or is there a bolt on and go addition to make it work? One last thing, do you know if it improves steering feel?

Nice build by the way man.

scottie

Yes. The column needs to be supported by a bracket and the inner shaft requires a support bearing near the firewall. Best illustration is Matt Powers setup below:



To answer your question I will have to drive it first. But speaking directly with race teams who have gone to this setup, feedback is amplified. You can feel exactly what the car is doing and response is instantaneous. Thanks for kind words!

scottie

The pedals were mounted and DBW pedal was fab'd up to dictate the revised trans tunnel. We cheated the gas pedal over a few millimeters toward the brake for improved heal/toe action.

Reece

I was excited for the two tone

No two tone unless I wrap it. That may be in the future to change up the look between seasons.

Enjoy seeing real builds!!! Motivation for sure.

Hey Scottie did you notice when mounting your passenger side "planted" seat rail that the side mounting brackets don't align fully on the floor mounts? They seem to be in about .25-.50 of an inch on each side?

Yes. When I first tossed them in the car for a baseline for seat position, I noticed these were off. Honestly despite similar dimensions each seat manufacturer has their own specs. No different seat is exactly alike. If you are lucky you can simply mill the existing hole enough to get the bolt in. In my case being that I wanted the seat down another 1" and over 3/4", it didn't matter much to me. Even the Bride FG rails had to be modded for the width and height of aftermarket buckets.

drewr4411

Passenger side was much worse then the driver. regardless I wont be moving that seat. I do plan to upgrade to a racetech seat in the future. Just hope I don't have to mess with the driver rail when I do.

Don't hold your breath. Both driver and passenger were off about the same on mine. My friend is running Racetech in his 86 Corolla. It's a fantastic seat. It would be my second choice for FIA approved seats.

scottie

GKTech FLCAs finally came in. Took a quick break from chassis to throw them together.





There will not be any hammering on the trans tunnel. Plus I plan to add Dzus fasteners to new trans cover which will allow access to the trans bell housing.






Just a couple of small items left before media blast.

Did you fabricate those heel panels or did you purchase from somewhere? build looks great, def following.

I purchased them from Street Faction. They are on Instagram. They make beautiful pieces. They specialize in aluminum.
