The driftireland / DI Motorsport S14 (With TDP.ie & Jap Performance)

Ps, please do a jacking point on my car like that.

Ha, no prob.. After i finish the car though!

Have you planned on running s14a headlights? How will they fit with the pipe work going through the holes?

Yeah the headlight issue was the only downside to running the Intercooler this way but we mocked and measured it all up and we'll have to cut some of each headlight out a bit to allow it all to fit, so i'll just be loosing out on my full beams which wont be too necessary, main beams will do!

Zenki 14's have been too popular the last while, I want to bring back the Kouki!! And I havn't had a Kouki 14 untill this one!

Here's a few photo's of the small mod's i made to the OBP Pedal Box

I didnt like the tacky silver clutch and brake pedals, and felt they
were a little to wide, so i trimmed them down like so..





Then ground them flat and stuck skateboard grip tape so my feet wont slip
from the all important clutch pedal!!





Looks better and should make choosing the right pedal to press much easier!






This is a pic of Gary "Mabbit" Mahony's Kouki S14 which will be getting stripped down and fully rebuilt
to a fairly similar spec to my car, the two of us will most likely be teaming up together for 2012!

bad design will just spread the rear chassis legs when you lift the weight of the car,

jay put in a strait bar to make a triangle

Straight bar or tube will bend if jacked from the middle from what i can see, and if I hit the passenger side it may impact on the driver side!

This one will hopefully collapse from an impact but shouldnt spread when being jacked up! Back end is quite light too!

fair play this is an epic build. cant wait to see the final result on track.

[gem-s13]

if you put that jacking bar upside down on the ground measure the with of ware it bolts onto the legs then get some one to stand on the middle bit and measure it, it will have spread, i mean put a strait bar about 9-10 inches long in the middle of what you already have to make a trangle shape it will stop the push on the legs as it will be the bit under strain, and being that far down the bar "when" you hit it off a wall it will still let the bar bend,

[Jay Rockett]

Ha, believe it or not we were jumping on it and it didnt flex at all! I want to put it in a press to be sure but i cant see it spreading tbh!

I did think of something along the lines of what you said there so once i try it in the press ill know if it needs bracing!
