perrinsohc Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Some Pics of the subframe rebuild that is currently in the process of being completed. Been smooth sailing so far. Using Kit from USA and will be buying a few more bits and pieces for steeting etc soon. Big thanks to Hamish for the dedicated hours so far. Lots of photos but I know most people here believe the more the better.Enjoy http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00414.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00416.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00418.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00428.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00429.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00432.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrinsohc Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 The whole frame finally out after quite a few hours. Reason it took longer than expected was the large number of unnecessary bolts that we took out before relising that they weren't going to help get the subframe out (suspension, torque tube etc) due to the lack of manuals and guides. About 3 hours in total for the subframe itself http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00435.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00436.jpg Just for fun http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00441.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00443.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00445.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00448.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00451.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00455.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00456.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00457.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00465.jpg Tough Bush took the life of my drill bit http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00474.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00477.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00482.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00485.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2833.jpg Burning of Busheshttp://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2834.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2835.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2836.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perrinsohc Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Most things are bolted back up now, having some issues with the left hand rear brake, cant for the life of me bolt up the handbrake, i could hardly get the caliper on itself, thinking something wrong with piston. Bleed the brakes and going to run in the pads to see if that fixes anything. Diff oil is in as well just waiting for the drag link to come back from the engineers then ill be able to take it in for a major wheel alignment. http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2939.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2944.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2946.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2956.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2949.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2968.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2970.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2972.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2974.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrinsohc Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Last couple of pics to add from the front end, then the car with some wheels on and weighted down in the back to sit the car back to original position. Would have liked to clean the car up a lot more underneath but due to limited time being a student im going to save it for another day, things like front cross member , gearbox and surrounding area too. The aim was to get as much surface area cleaned up and rust kill painted for protection and try to get a good look at the same time http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2977.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2978.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2975.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/IMG_2982.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrinsohc Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Some pictures of the new trust exhaust, as you might be able to tell i was going for a "stock" ish look for now.

perrinsohc Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Just a couple more things ive been upta on the starion in the last couple days, began glassing the front kit up, getting it structurally secure, and installed central locking!!!!! So freaking cool! anyone else done it? It wasn't the most pleasant of tasks thats for sure, and the kit wires weren't long enough for each door so, double or triple the soldiering http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00544.jpg Guy off trademe forgot to put the acutator rods in so I made my own outa bike spokes FTW http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00542.jpg Quite a while sorting out previous owners, "quick jobs" and mess in the wiring departmenthttp://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00540.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrinsohc Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Almost finished fixing the front kit piece. Just a bit more filler then its good to go for the undercoat. Most of the bog is filling up the holes / fiber glass work. http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00549.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00546.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00551.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrinsohc Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Here is the Result. The car ran 3-4 psi more than factory due to trust exhaust tip. BP 98 gas. Could't be more stoked. ***Just like to point out the exhaust muffler is the only engine performance modification*** You can also see from the dyno sheet the insane lag these turbos have and the a/f ratio i think. Full boost at 160km in 4th is late as haha. You can see how long the gear/diff ratios are as well. Got upto 190km http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00583.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/DSC00584.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac143/perrinr1_photo/dyno.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
