Is that a Samberg subframe with reworked engine mounts?

I also got the front QA1 that Samberg made the mounting brackets for. They were kinda tricky to get mounted. You have to unmounts the control arm part that bolts to the body, you can leave it on the spindle. Oh, and a spanner wrench helps a lot too.

Haven't a lot of time to work on the car very much. I've been working a lot. finally got the rear end up under the car and tried to take some detailed pics so everyone can see how it mounts.

So I'm entertaining the idea of putting the Shine Auto front fenders and rear fender flares on the car to be able to have a wider rear wheel and better fitment. I know they are only 20-25mm so I'm not sure if this would really give me much more room. I'll be running X275's so I'll have a 28" tall tire. Anyone have any input or experience here :drive:  :gruffy:

Eh I don't care so much for 'name brand' as I do quality. As far as knock off wheels, I'd run them. But I won't risk safety. But thanks for the input, that helped me make my decision in not messing with those.

I really want to go with Bride seats. I really like the "low max" seat b/c it'll sit me down a little lower in the car and I'll have more headroom with a helmet on. I just don't want to spend 2 grand on seats.

Does anyone have any experience with these? I know they are basically Bride knock off's and are considered "Bride Canada" not Bride Japan. I don't really care about them being authentic or not as long as the material is decent and its not cheap fabric. I could always order them and send them back if need be but I figured I would ask and see if anyone has any experience with these. Saving 1500 would be 1500 that could go into more go fast parts.

More pictures from Samberg. These are on their way to me. Hopefully I'll have the car ready for wheels/tires next week. I'm still undecided on if I want to run big/littles or a true set of street tires and then just a set of matching rear wheels with x275's on them. Probably going to go with the Weld RTS S77 wheels. I want to get the car on the ground before thanksgiving or Christmas at the latest so I can get the cage started.

I've about got all the wires sourced. I might give it another shot. I don't know, I'd almost rather work a couple days over time and let someone else do it lol.

So today I put some of my front end back on. I had everything powder coated. I almost took the control arms apart and had them powder coated as well but the bushings were tight and I didn't wanna take a chance on screwing them up. Instead I got some Eagle One MAG wheel cleaner and a non-scratch scotch bright pad and they cleaned up nicely, almost new looking. I've done this before on my daily. After the initial deep cleaning every time I wash the car I just spray the MAG wheel cleaner on the control arms and such and the grime sprays right off. (Eagle One should pay me for that lol).







Since the front end was going together smoothly I decided to work on the battery some, here's a better idea on how its going to sit. I had to trim some because of the anti-roll bar but this is about how it'll look, but covered and sitting about an inch lower in the chassis. I may have got a little happy with the cut off wheel and cut too much off. but I have a couple ideas on how to clean it back up.

Thanks! let me know if you have any problems with getting the rack. Idk why you haven't gotten it yet.

I found out that EVO brakes can fit on the FD with minimal effort, I'm thinking about it, but I'm not really how much different and how much better they would be other than just being able to say, "I have Brembo's" I might have to have a parachute anyway so I'm sure I'll be ok, we shall see.


I took all my bolts from the subframes/suspension down to Fastenal and bought all stainless bolts, they all came in today, and of course half of them were wrong. Smh. No real progress made today.

My next adventure. I didn't really want to put the battery back where the rear bins are. One reason is because the battery is a optima yellow top and it wouldn't fit through the hole with the bin in the car and since the car will have a cage that will be a hassle in itself. My idea was to mount it up under the chassis. This isn't exactly where I wanted it but I couldn't find any other place to suite me. The battery, mounting hardware and tray put 50lb right behind the axle on the passenger side- why? because racecar.


This is a rough idea, I still have to make it look nice/clean, but you get the idea. For whatever reason the 'gap' looks a lot bigger on the sides of the tray in the picture than it truly is, must be the camera.

Mock up idea of how the QA1's brackets are going to work/fit.

Ok so I forgot to add a mess-up on my behalf while installing the 8.8 Samberg straight axle sub-frame. Justin had told me to knock one of the studs out (which I didn't) and use bolts that he provided (that I disregarded lol). So in order to make my sub-frame fit, I had to cut an extra 3/4-1" out of the bottom of the squares where it sticks through the body. I don't really mind since the car will be a fair-weather, quote-unquote "racecar" so I if I notice any issues later one I'll address them. Here's what mine looks like, had I cut it as the template intended me to, there wouldn't hardly be any gap, it fit pretty tight. If you scroll back up to the other pics you can maybe see my mistake from different angles.



I really  need to get back to wiring it, but the struggle is real. I have grown to absolutely hate wiring. I wanted to build this car solely by myself, but now I'm thinking about farming out the wiring  just because I don't want to do it lol. for two reasons
1. I don't really have time
2. I don't want to do it lol

Powdercoated door handles installed. I cleaned the inside of the door handle and used some lithium grease for the spring and mechanism. Pulls much smoother/lighter now.
