Atomic's wagon build thread

[Georonimo]

weird, I've run 15x7 +40s on stock and lowered suspension without issue.

probably shouldn't modify a daily...

the slanteye nose is growing on me. I wonder if I could do slanteye/RMM grille/LTS bumper...

It's on a 98 wagon so I'm not sure if the size of the lip changed with the sheet metal. No problem with stock springs, but with some no name lowering springs, 205/50's and stock camber I would have cut through my rears in a few miles of driving. Rolled them a bit and all was happy. Going to throw some small spacers on there once I start running some negative camber. Daily drove the BPT tracer for a good 2 years (minus winters) I just fear the zetec! That and my truck has uncomfortable seats.

Cody you're a mad man, I just now noticed the front end on your wagon. Very subtle, I like it! I knew something was up, just couldn't put my finger on it with this tiny cell phone screen. Link to work done?

Here's the front end linky:

I've adjusted it a lot more since then and everything fits perfect now!

The rest of the car will have to wait until I finish the v6 car.

Wow that came out nice, awesome job!

Hey matt got a link to the honda/moped deal? I've been lusting over this 77' PUCH Maxi Sport (for heavy flow):



Hope to have it in my possesion soon along with the matching Elise... But no clue how I would fit it inside :-)

[CODY004WD]

****, That's along the lines of the one I want to build. I'll have to go pick it up tomorrow, I forgot my friend had it for me until now!

after seeing the Honda City Turbo / MotoCompo on Jalopnik today, I now want to put a tiny transforming moped in the back of my wagon.

The image I got was You're Under Arrest



Well...it's not a Honda City, but a Today is pretty close.

SO FULL OF WIN

seriously, I want to have something like that for the wagon, tucked up behind the back seat. it doesn't have to be fast or even comfortable, I'd use it as a pit bike at the track and ****...

oh my god I just realized I have a pocket bike sitting in the carport

[ratch]

Atomic, your my god for this. my litle tracer is gonna take some work. however, i want to kill it in style before i do this swap. i hope i blow the **** 1.9L when i get around to the bootleg boosting xD

oh and one of your quotes was amazing so its my Siggy lol

i want a honda city turbo now T.T
omg theres no room under the hood but OMG... the little transformer bike is so Win xD

[atomicEGT]

this is awesome haha, do it!!!

it's way too small for me to comfortably ride on (it's one of those crotch-rocket style ones) so I'd need to do some modifications, but still... I think I have to make this happen.

ya I see people buzzing around on those all over the beach area in the summer time haha, put your mind to it and they'll do a mini burn out, kinda funny to see Police harassing someone over something a pedal bike could lay down for rubber tho...lol

[atomicEGT]

installed the LC1's gauge, wired the boost gauge, put the shift light in one of the vents and the controller in the ashtray, added a switch for the secondary rev limit on the Bee*R, etc

car is running pig rich because the wideband doesn't want to calibrate, so my first drive was out the driveway and right back in when it started to foul itself out. tomorrow I am cleaning it, wiring in the shift light and Bee*R and then putting the interior back together.

Saturday is tuning and exhaust day...

with the stock LX grille this thing looks weirdly like an SHO...
