The love for S-chassis is strong. Great build

This is one of my favorite build threads thus far on zilvia. It is definitely inspiring. Makes me want to fix all the body defects and broken aero on my s13.

And now I am working on new steel brakelines.

I am just blown away by this. When I saw the first photos of the car, I thought this was a joke. You win IMO. This is true dedication and it's really paid off.

tuzzio

This car is way to nice to have those ugly brake lines and ABS unit.

TSSS22

I would like to paint the brake lines to black, and the ABS unit is not refurbished yet, I put everything on for testfit.

Alpha version of the pivot mounts with bearings printed and mounted.






Cleaning the carpet before painting

SupaDoopa

I think the previous poster is right - I'd eliminate/remove the ABS all together. It's bulky, heavy and ugly. Definitely takes away from what you're doing.

TSSS22

Maybe you're right, but I think the ABS in the car is not useless, its not a racecar and also not a driftcar, for cruising and fun ride I dont see the reason why remove it. Ugly is not a real reason to remove the functional thing from the car. But its my opinion and I am bulding the car for myself, by the way thank you for the comments I appreciate it so thanks for the support.

Painting the carpet

Super_OK_S13

Been following this build for a while. Its very nice and seems to have a well thought out build process to end result. To you, the build serves a purpose and you are happy with it. Looks great so far!!

I am curious if you can send me the 3d print file/link so i can have a friend print 2 new wiper mounts for my car. i really like the bearing install instead of bushings. Did you also print new ball joint inserts for the arms?

TSSS22

Thanks, of course I can share the stl, I am uploaded it to thingiverse for you and others for test purposes. Plese leave the comment if you test it Now I am used the old inserts in arms. I am planning to design some replacements but now I am working on some other thing so no time for it

Here is the link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2961561

this is good.. only a couple more things.

TSSS22

Sound dampening is finished, now I am ordered some foam rubber under carpet, and working on the firewall - putting on foam with alufoil.

KoukiMonsta

EDIT: is the steering member painted or plated/galvanized/zinc? I plan to rattle can mine today...cuz why not.

Thanks

Yeah its galvanized zinc, it looks like this before.. but the spraypaint is also enought, just you cant paint the inside of the tube, with zinc is also done. btw, your enginebay wiring looks awesome, I am planning something similar too.

KoukiMonsta

Yea, mine is covered in surface rust but I figure it's already 28 years old and no where near 'too rusty'. I just like the small details nobody will ever see so I'll give it some paint.

After a few years away from the scene i am actually re-doing my wiring right now. I've learned a lot since the first time..

Keep it up, good work.
