Thanks man,

They are fairly water tight, I have strips of 3M foam tape lining the back, also I don't think the corner windows save too much weight, I changed these to prevent breaking glass in case of an impact.

Hey Chad, where did you get those switches?

Subbed, awesome stuff. Keep it up.

Thanks man!

Not sure what your question is?

Local Performance Improvements

I spent some time grinding and cleaning the inner wheel wells and removing any surface rust. I also needed more clearance for steering so I hammered the inner pinch welds back and test fit some wheels. I still need to do this to the rears before I paint the chassis. The wheels in the pics are 18x10.5 so they still hit the frame rails and back of the wheel wells but 9.5 should fit fine.

What's the size of the tubes you use for the front bumper bars? Sketch and diameter? Thanks!

I used 1.5 tube but again that is all preference, as long as it's strong that's what matters.

So I forgot to slip the transmission spacer on when I last put the motor in, so I had to pull everything out do that and while I had the engine out I thought I would paint the bay again since it was scratched and ruined from a brake fluid leak and tool marks. I even made new corner windows out of stronger less brittle lexan, much cleaner than before. Heat wrapped the downpipe, throttle cable, made a catch can and plumbed 95% of the lines.



-10 oil return to 1/2 NPT for the block



1st coat



I had this piece of 3'' stainless left over from my exhaust and these 3'' die cuts a friend made for me so I made this catch can. I think I might paint it textured black with a rubber coating I found.





Wrapped the upper portion of the downpipe that runs close to the booster







Cut and ran these lines for the catch can and for the fuel cell







These new windows are much more resistant to cracking and scratching









These lines come pretty close to the exhaust housing but I think I will use a smaller radius bender and tuck them closer to the master



Almost there

Top notch fabrication! Everything looks really good, but at the same time I can't help feeling upset a kouki in such good shape had to get hacked up.

Chad Dugan

Thanks man!

Haha thanks man, dont be upset it's only a car! There's plenty of clean koukis left to mod!

I used to have one just like it, that got wrecked. Every time I see one it brings back a soft spot. lol

Purestock240

whats your plans once its finished? cscs, just drive it, topp days?

tricky_ab

I always look forward to seeing your build thread updates It's looking great! I can't wait to see it out and about...

pigeon

I really like all of the clean fab done on this. Did you order the lexan online? if so where?

bc.

Dude! You are gonna melt your BMC!!!

Everything else looks good though :bigthumb:

I'll probably do a few track days this year, lots of pictures and videos while the car is still one piece, I'd like to get some fun out of it before I move on to my new car.

Thanks!

I made them out of a large industrial sheet from a plastic supply company in Toronto we ship with. The previous windows were made from garage door lexan from Home Depot.

I know there will be huge heat generated but I think I'm far enough away from the bmc, I will need to shorten the radius oh the first bends out of the master though, and I also have a heat shield wrapped with gold tape that should help a little bit.

Thanks a lot guys!

some s14s came with a thinner brake booster, forget if it was zenkis, or non ABS cars or what.

Blu813SD

Can you pm me more info on your headlight mounting bar and brackets ?

I might be getting into the same thing here sometime and wanted a similar removable setup.

The car has tubes on the front but no upper radiator mounting brackets or headlight enclosure brackets yet.

Can you send me some close up pics of the removable area for the upper radiator mount bar / headlight bracket bar and also the actual headlight mounting rods as well ? Greatly appreciate it if you can.

jp69

Clean work man

Chad Dugan

Yeah ABS, I have considered changing with a friend and going this route before i have any serious melting issues.

I think if you check back a few pages there are some clear pics of when we built it but here is some to give you an idea.





Thanks a lot!

I ran into some issues with the -10 oil return line rubbing on the steering column so I had to re route it up front directly into the pan. This is such a better way of routing the line, it created more room behind and under the turbo and allows the heat to escape better.

First I had to drill and tap the pan with a 1/2'' NPT





I then test fit a plug I would be using for the block since that location would no longer used



Re sealed the pan and put it back on the motor to dry





Then I had to shorten the -10 line so it would fit in its new location



I also had made a catch can earlier and wanted to finish routing all the vents so I used the existing block vent under the exhaust manifold and ran a hose to -8/barb fitting and wrapped it behind the motor.

Plugged the block



Hose to barb to -8
