Post subject: | Re: Slowest AWD build ever - used parts mayhem. |
Struggle busing here, just can't get the axles to play well. Both are super close to the LCA front mount, driver's side is acting like its too damn long, passenger side the old axle cup is stuck in the transmission. On the driver's side I cut my LRV T-belt mount and elevated the engine a touch to get distance to the LCA mount, but I don't want issues when I swap in the real engine with the Elantra Tbelt mount. Any thoughts? I feel like theres something I missed along the way. |

the very first swap I did had this same issue.. it was about 1/4 in off.... it was because we tried to use dsm axles with the stock colt hubs... what happens is the axle wont seat into the hub because its larger.. if u replace the inner hub seal (cant think of the part number off hand.. im sure 89mirageman has it tho LOL).. then it should all work fine. hope this info helps.

Lots of progress. Got ripped off on a set of Mazda3 seats (JY charges for the seats an the side airbags I forgot were there separately, airbags cost more than the seats!). Put those in, a little high for my taste, but they'll do. Threw some carpet down, and wired it up - now have headlights, turn signals, hazards, tails, etc. Building carbon fiber inserts for all the big holes in the dash to mount gauges and switches. Much like LilEvo, got fed up with how close the axles were to the control arm mounts, so I cut all of them, put the engine where I wanted it, and re-welded. Got tired of looking at my ugly ass crossmember, so I coughed up $160 for a Bulfab 2G crossmember to hold the transmission. Fits great, I'm just going to cut and shorten the front area until it matches the front subframe. Should have done it years ago, just too cheap. Once I get this thing rolling, I'll neaten up the harness a bit more (quick disconnect plug for the glovebox, etc) Pics to come later today. |

She runs! Doesn't move, but it runs. Well, idles? Driveshaft needs cut, but the exhaust is in, "minor" tweaks from here. I'm going to list the full build sheet here, both for my memory and for your laughter: Chassis: 1991 Colt Hatch 1994 Eclipse Rear subframe, rear brakes, driveshaft AFCO Rear Control Arms 3000GT Dual Piston front calipers (used) Elantra LCA (new) Expo knuckles (used) 1G AGXs w\ lowering springs (used) Rear mounted battery w/ external kill switch and 200A breaker Complete rewire, stripping out circuits I don't need, minor wiring tuck Fuel cell underneath rear floorpan Twin Bosch 044s with 8AN line up and back Mustang wheels and tires Honda half-radiator Engine\Trans: Expo 4G64 NT (100K+) Megasquirt 'n Spark 2 on V3 board - "LS2 Truck" COP setup (new) - using stock dizzy for cam\crank signal 1G DSM Throttle Body w/ FIAV/IAC delete eBay 1G FMIC piping kit eBay friggin yuge FMIC (used) eBay 1G exhaust - modified to fit 2G AWD trans and transfer case Interior: Home Depot outdoor carpet Factory dash, rear seats, package tray Mazda3 seats S10 digital dashboard So, in sum, a cobbled mess, but its my cobbled mess. Hoping to be moving under its own power by my birthday. |

Managed to drive the car down the street and back. Brakes still need bled something serious, Megasquirt tune starts and idles, still needs a little love on the After Start Enrichment and the accel circuits. Alignment is a mile off. Gauges are in the mail. Finishing up the interior now. I did sand off the rust on the roof and give it the 1G DSM two tone - black up top, red below the belly line. Oh, and plates and insurance. Its a real car! |

Lot of work to get to this point eh? Man, it must be good to get in the seat and start shaking things down, even if it means repeated trips back onto the stands to tweak, fettle, fidget and rinse/repeat. |

Shaking is right. Eyeballed the toe in last night, took it for another spin tonight. Driveshaft is definitely not balanced. Pretty sure one of the axles, or at least the boot, is rubbing. Reviewing MS logs, tuning, tuning, gonna go back and lean out a lot of the AFR targets. Re-re-re-bleed the brakes. |
