One year no update... what a shameAnyway, I have finished the project in the meantime.Here are a few impressions from the last adjustment of the suspension:
It is a small hand device called Sense from 3D systems.Thanks all. My rear isnt OEM aswell. I have DSS custom axles to fit my EVO 8 rear Kaaz 1.5 LSD ;)
The front wheel is standing and the rear one turns?!
Correct: I now have a RWD Eclipse :cool:I welded the center diff of my spare EVO III transmission and upgraded to an 300M output shaft.
I also milled some FWD axles to preload the front bearings and plug the transmission exits.
It is amazing...
On the photo it looks as if at least the driver's side is not properly inside.
Give the axle a few light hits with a hammer until the snap ring snaps in.
Stupid question, but the sealing rings are also mounted the right way around?
Why not make one from scrap VC? But I whink you will break the 2-Spyder before you break the outputshaft.
So if you really want RWD I would weld the center diff instead
A lot has happened in the last 4 months!
After the suspension was finished, I went on to the interior.What always bothered me about the Eclipse was the terrible shifting feeling, which didn't get any better with short shifters.
That's why I modified a shifter out of the EVO 8 and mounted it in...
Oh, okay. I think there will always be a difference between CAD and reality. Just because of measurement errors and the fact that you can't replace all the rubber bushings. Specialy on the front suspension compression arm you have some deformation in the bushings because of the multi link type...
Hey ec17pse, nice project. I hope you will get the results you're hoping for.
As you can see in my build thread, I already measured all suspension points on my GSX and analyzed the complete system with the suspension analyzer from Lotus.
I wanted to minimize the bump steer as well ;)
I think the...
So the rear toe arms are ready!It was most complicated to adapt to the outer knuckle, because here you need a cone that has to fit exactly.
The cylindrical part serves as a guide for the outer joint and is calculatingly made longer so that the height of the steering head can be adjusted using...
