Did your tubs come with rolled edge? Or did you do it yourself?

I've got a shear and brake on the way and a couple orders stacked up, I'm considering it.

ezza · 05-30-2011, 06:14 AM

I notice the tubs go from the shock tower forward but not backward to the firewall, mine mostly rubs from the shock tower back wtf?

neonaire · 05-30-2011, 06:57 AM

for second i thought this thread talks about hot tubs lol

ezza · 05-30-2011, 07:15 AM

has anyone tubbed from the tower back?

living4surf · 05-30-2011, 07:18 AM

I don't think it's allowed in most of the rule books so people don't really do it

ezza · 05-30-2011, 07:23 AM

what?

is there a valid reason? brake servo in the way?

Jspec603 · 05-30-2011, 11:46 AM

If one wanted to, they could do a full tub. Passengers side would be easy, drivers not so much. You'd pretty much have to convert to hanging or floor mount pedals inside the car. Even after this is done, you'd still hit the frame rail (offset, width etc would have a playing factor in this) with the tire. Especially if you cut your steering stops off your front control arms.

ezza · 05-30-2011, 11:49 AM

I suppose nothing stops me going as far up as i can without moving the brake servo/mc

turtle m3th · 05-30-2011, 12:47 PM

Got some great inspiration for my tubs in this thread! Keep em coming guys!

Thanks.

Yeap.

16-Gauge Steel, Single-Axle Trailer Fender, 10-3/4" Wide - 14" to 15" Tires Redline Trailer Fenders F1075X32-1R

I found these ones that are wider than the Northern ones most people use. It allowed me to come inward and outward as far as i wanted without having to double up or extend.

Also, one fender cut in half hamburger style is enough to do both tubs with.

hes running an SSR dish wheel like eurolines and viennas but even then probably didnt need it. its an extreme amount of work if their done right. i completely welded his, he even mudded them up and made them smooth. tack welding and seem sealing ....

the strut towers are key in structural rigity in the front end. why you would puss out and use seam sealer is beyond me.. dont cheap out and dont get lazy.

It's not only for turning angle. I'm working on mine for two reasons. The first is b/c the previous owner did a hack job to clear his IC piping and secondly for bump travel. If you'll notice in this picture, mine constantly hit the tops of the factory wells. I'm not even that low, I just have actual suspension travel. Ignore the wirebush marks around the seams and look at polished area at the top of the wells as they meet the tower and the leading edge at the base of the well area. That's a problem for me and I'm only running a 225/40/18 on 9.5 +18

DanielS14 · 06-23-2011, 02:54 PM

one trailer fender wasnt wide enough. so i welded them together hotdog style. flat edge to flat edge. cut them in half, hamburger style. trimmed as needed. welding on the nissan steel is always a bitch, ive done way to much.[/QUOTE]

hhahahhaahhaha

The 240LSX · 06-23-2011, 03:42 PM

How much would any one charge to put some tubs on my s13 and do you have to pull the motor to do it im in va

Jspec603 · 06-23-2011, 04:01 PM

These are two different cars we did at our shop. The tubs are 14" wide and made out of 16ga steel. We could have made them narrower, but wanted to try it out going straight up from the frame rail. Some will like, some will not. There really is no wrong way of doing this as long as your gaining space in the wheel well.

Unfortunately the way our site is setup, I cannot copy a picture link address. I still need to add updated pics of the black hatch. It's just about finished and ready to drive home. Sorry for the linking, mods can delete if they see fit.
