Ill be moving pics and material over slowly, bear with me.
Because Highroller wanted to see the build and so did others on here i figured i throw it up. I know the FAKLAD sentiment on here, but its still a cool build nonetheless.
enjoy.
P.S: everything is a copy over from my build thread on another forum.
So ive got a bit of a cool long term going on that some ppl know about. i thought id share the pics.
Shell: 78 Austin Mini
Powertrain: 2004 Acura TSX 6spd. K24A2

updates: The motor is back in, squared up and not getting moved again. ITB's are installed, injectors in and wired, engine harness modified and the general routing is figured out. Body harness up to the firewall is complete. Dash and Dash harness is complete. Axles are in, Shift Box and linkage cables are in, Hydraulic clutch line is assembled, front brake lines are made up and run up to the wilwood pedals. Fuel pump is mounted and wired up.
Still have a bunch of little stuff to finish, but we should have it running in a couple weeks.

no clearance between vtec solenoid and firewall. Will need to remove vtec solenoid shield to gain the clearance needed.
more pics to come.

more updates: fuel system is complete, just gotta grab 2 fittings in the morning and button her up. Rad is in. It looks to be a modified EG unit by the looks of things.
As you can see the 1pc front end is also on now. Still need to play around with it quite a bit to get the alignment right.
Shift bucket and shift cables are secure. We opted to use a shift box from a 90-93 accord and modify the cable mount plate that bolts to the trans to give us the proper throw needed to slam gears. We went this route bc of the all steel construction of the older H/F shift boxes that can take all the abuse we throw at it. We did the same in K20 EG race car and it hasnt let us down yet.
On to the pics. Note, ill should have it running within the next week. ill post a vid once i get to that stage. :D

Return line for the fuel system. Not entirely happy with it. No real spot to secure it either. Might pull the tank before i put fuel in it and get some tabs welded up on it so i can secure the lines a bit better.

as promised, here are some more pics
exhaust pics wish i had some of them in the car, but the fabricator took some before dropping it back on the ground. waiting for him to email me. it hugs the floor nice and tight.

shot of the driver side corner where the radius arm use to hook into.
the welds that you can see in the pic are the only thing holding those tabs on. There are no welds on the back side of those tabs. one good hit with a min sledge and they busted right off.

basically all of that is gonna get cut out and new steel going in. Tubes are gonna come out from the rear x-brace, through the rear firewall and down to where the old radius arm tabs are located. there will be a bar going across the car that will get tucked into the sheet metal that will essentially box in the back and have bars going in to triangulate the rear box to tighten everything up. The new radius arm tabs will tag off the rear tubes instead of the flimsy tabs.
more pics to come.

small update:
i went and checked the car out at the fabricators. back half of the suspension assembly/tube frame is pretty much complete. axle and radius rods are pretty much are in there final locations. Just gotta make up the mounting tabs for the gas tank and rear shocks and we will be good to go.
small hiccup though. Owner found this and wants me to install it:

getting it closer to having it on the road
-
Great looking fab! Personally I would have put at least the suspension links in double shear though.
-
Damn that fab looks Sick!!!
-
oh snaps :)
-
In a word, beautiful.
Can't wait to see this finished.
-
I can't wait to see ripper vids!!
-
drove it off the trailer yesterday for the first time and into a friends shop for him to hook me up with a alignment.
once thats done, its glass install and paint and she is close to being done.
-
this is looking really good, I cant wait to see the titty rippers. To bad its not coming to knox.

you need to come down to chico and then sac.
ill be doing a roadtrip in this thing eventually. the owner doesnt have a say in that. :P
-
:noel:
-
so today was the day i was going to road test the car. got all 4 brakes working beautifully after making up my rear lines and bleeding all the air out of them and getting the slider adjustments figured out on the pedal assembly.
Then i went through all my nuts/bolts/fittings and checked them and made sure they were tight. reinstalled the battery box, through the battery in and attached the charger and let it charge up while i continued on checking.
ok all good to go and ancy to get it on the road and the fucking battery is shot. it wont keep a charge. quite unforunate. i tried another optima i had and from using it so many times on our trailer winch, she didnt have much left in her.
so here i sit typing away in disappointment. ill leave you with the way it sits.
alignment/ paint and body/ glass and she is ready to rock.

Sounds good.
Great job, can't wait to see more vids.

car hits the dyno on sat.
will have vids then.
-
I can't wait, it should be bad ass :noel:
-
car was dyno tuned today by Morris from Midnight Auto and it came in at 208whp and 162 tq. we shut the car down at 7800 RPM. had we known we needed a RSX-S pump, we could have spun it up to 8600 RPM and made more power. oh well, there will be a next time.
-
Sounds a bit weak.......
-
we did 10 cars on this dyno and they all seemed to be lower than dynojet values. some of the cars drove faster than the numbers they laid down.
for comparison, im gonna head over to a dynojet and see what sort of numbers we get and compare.

whats it like to drive?
-
rear springs are way too soft so as soon as l launch it the body is sitting on the rear wheels. the front tires just spin most of the time if i launch it hard.
but other than that, its a riot. lol

That car is bitchin'
That's all I got to say.
-
Holy shit this thing is awesome I bet it hauls ass. Did you fix the rear spring problem so you can really lay on it?
-
upped the spring rate to 150lbs and revalved the shocks. hope that solves it.

Hard on
-
So whats the update?
-
A vid of this driving is a MUST
-
omg... this build is gold.
-
no real update really. ive been busy with other cars, school and work, so im a bit behind at the moment. owner of the car picked up new carbon body work for it (doors, front end and lexan door windows) as well as a k20a core to swap the head over and go to a bigger set of bump sticks and a bigger shot of spray.
once its back at my place, ill take some updated pics of it along with the new parts for you boys to see and we'll go from there.
-
Damn cant wait!
-
I have heard that the FJ60 and the mini truck axles have interchangable parts, was wondering if anyone new if this is true and what parts are. I know the FJs axles are a 9" center section but I heard the steering arms are the same, one of the axle shaft and the birfs are the same, anyone know anything else??? Thanks the new guy Crusty.

wow long fucking time since ive updated this thread. Well anyways here we go.
Finally got the brakes sorted out in the thing. Had to bleed them a goofy way but i have a steady pedal now. I still have a odd 5500 rpm rev limit for some fucked up reason, i suspect the VSS took a shit and causing all the headache.
Waiting on a new wiper motor and other little odds and ends, but the thing rips and is a blast to drive. i gotta find some better shocks for the rear though. Owner is a little on the pigish side and well you hammer it into a corner and the rear likes to sit on the tires. Either that or i go to stiffer rate springs in the rear.
ill get all that sorted out in the spring time.
Thanks to all the nogs that helped me with it. Long fucking time but its outta my shop finally.
Here are the pics of it in its current state.
Just need some nice weather to drive the thing and get some ripper vids for you clowns.
