interesting upper shock mounts, i'm going through the process of having my Koni Classics rebuilt, but your mounts probably give you a few more options

your build looks very special and will end up being a lot nicer than mine . i envy the amount of space you have and the quality of your work

I prefer the bulge rather than a scoop. The bulge is more correct (AFAIK Honda never had a car with a scoop, but the early ZC cars did have a bulge) and the scoop is kind of "ricey" IMHO.

any recent updates? whats the wiring setup your gonna be doing? custom?
nice build!!!

Ztlohmak · 10-23-2008, 09:08 PM

I dont mind this style of scoop (right at the very start of the video -

). It's very tidy I think. However I did see similar style but on much larger scale and it didn't look all that great to be honest.

I would just mock up different styles with cardboard, rest them on the car and pick your favourite.

Bozwell · 10-24-2008, 02:39 AM

scoop would be pointless , it will just get water into the electrics

Ztlohmak · 10-24-2008, 07:35 AM

But have no opening of course. I guess that makes it a rectangular scoopbulge thingy?

astroleo_1976 · 10-25-2008, 03:55 AM

Wiring????

I leaving that last till all the mechanical work and fabrication is done..

Looking into AEM power Engine Management System with S2000 engine wiring loom for the engine, and customize a loom for the rest of the electrics lights, indicators, wipers etc.

Updates:

Currently setting up the front brakes will be running Gemini (Opel) spindles and Holden brakes.. Will post some pictures when I get a chance.. still modifying..

Check out this you tube video of Phil Penny's S600 coupe..

Hi All,

I have finished setting up the front end with the Gemini (Opel) spindles. Both upper arms have been modified to adapt the Gemini (Opel) top ball joint.

I’m running Holden commodore VT front brakes which are 296mm vented rotor with twin spot callipers

The wheels are Holden commodore interceptors 15x6

Just checking to make sure the wheels fit under the front guards

Current tyre size is 185/55R15 I will need to lip the front guards to get a bit more clearance for the wheels…

But I looking for a 175/55R15 tyre which might save me having to lip the guards..

Still to come.. Rear tyres will be 225/50R15 on a 15x7 interceptor rim..

Cheers
Leo

sackdz · 11-09-2008, 07:07 PM

looks good, thanks for the update.

Supahr_Ed · 11-12-2008, 01:19 AM

I see two sedans in your picture but the size of them look different? Is it the angle of the picture or are they different cars? The two yellow ones on the left from page 1?

knaira112387 · 11-12-2008, 11:49 AM

finish this already.. i wanna see the final!

astroleo_1976 · 11-12-2008, 01:22 PM

Would you have a spare 20K for me?

wow very nice, im anxious to see the final product!!! keep it posted.

ChevelleSSLS6 · 11-25-2008, 09:18 PM

I would go for a shelby cobra type hood scoop. Since it's obviously not destined for DD duty, I don't see rain as much of a problem. Or a reversed type hood scoop (late 1970s Pontiac TransAm had these attatched to the air cleaner called shaker scoops), but a bulge would be the most subtle.
