Inner Tie rod spacer, or new knuckle? Looks awesome!

Thefear13 05-06-2013 08:11 AM

new knuckles and Tie rods.... need to get some wheel spacers to push the tire out for max angle and no rub.

IloveBaldEagles 05-06-2013 12:18 PM

Here some more pics of the set up... also its using Tein tie rods and 15mm spacers to push the rim away from the tie rod at full lock. Next Sat, their going to do a shake down and see how it holds up and handles.

executivekoala 05-12-2013 01:51 AM

are those p.s.m spacers?

OmarGC 05-12-2013 02:50 AM

More info meow!

Nice! i can see some rubbing issues happening on the liner/wheel well with an wide 18 inch wheel with 40 sidewall. Looking foward to the progress of making these work!

Saw your car and met your friend Riley at Adams yesterday. He was leaving as I was getting there. He didn't tell me you were on here but he did say it was his buddy's car, who was currently in Japan. He was also showing me bits of this kit.

Figured it was your car after stumbling upon this thread.

He offered to take me for a ride along at drift night tomorrow too. Hope that's ok with you :D

Hahaha I was waiting for someone from this forum to post about yesterday... Ya, Riley is doing the testing on the car for SB fabrication. I don't mind if you get a ride along with him, have fun!

Thefear13 05-16-2013 12:28 AM

Here a quick shake down video from a demo yesterday that Riley did.

Car is working well and the new angle is a huge improvement over the stock angle.

He will be out tomorrow at thursday night drift messing around more, feel free to say hello!

Sc0ob_do0D 05-16-2013 01:26 AM

Awesome!!

JackSmiley 05-16-2013 04:09 AM

I think this would be good for people who have the RB kit.

Thefear13 05-17-2013 12:18 PM

Riley here, so i hijacked marco's log on

anyways had a super fun time last night, the car works very well, just need more power!

heres a video running tandem with Stan williams(S13) myself 2nd and ken gushi following in his SR hachi( when i say following more like parked in my door! haha)

i HIGHLY recommend the SB fab knuckles for anyone looking to get into drifting.

next on the car will hopefully be coilovers and a proper alignment

PS Watch in HD

i want.

campy 05-19-2013 09:29 AM

Still stock suspension? What other mods are you running? And if you're getting this serious about drifting you may as well turbo it!

Coilovers were installed yesterday but no chance to hit the track. Hopefully this Thursday will have another test run. still thinking between a turbo or supercharger, but that's the last thing on my mind right now lol

Godzilla35 06-19-2013 06:36 AM

Any updates? I called parts shop Max but they said they're very far from creating a steering angle kit for us (sounded fairly unenthusiastic) :(

I'd like to know if you plan on releasing this soon.

P.s., wise fab basically laughed in my face lol. *shrug* guess its not a supra or BMW 3 series but I think the 86 platform could sell a lot of kits.
