Here are some pictures from taylors place and what he is working on. Sold the rims off the N600 to some lucky guy in texas!

Also a picture of the donor car. Took the front subframe and suspension off yesterday. This will be chopped up and used for the rear suspension.

Taking the rear suspension off today. Will try to get some updated pics of the car chopped up this week/weekend, or as updates are available.

 

It was a task from hell to find a decent set of wheels for this car. there are very few number of wheeks out ther ein 13x5 or 5.5. but i found a set!

Enkei Compe - 8 13x5.5

these are the wheels with tires. i have some hoosier td's coming.

 

Oh this is getting nominated for the news letter for SURE!!!!

 

Thanks man! Hope to have some good updates soon.

WOW! This is gonna be awesome

Thanks. I hope so.

I like the wheels, good find. Can't wait to see this all finished.

Thanks. It took a while. And even then I got lucky.

Soooo, what are the goals for the car? Auto-X? HPDE?

Im excited to see this roll out!

When are you expecting to have it road worthy?

Plans are 100% street car. Not looking to race this thing. Maybe 1/4 mile someday. But that will be it.

Road worthy? Just depends how fast my fabricator can get the big stuff done.

Want to get the major things done asap. Then probably take my time with body and other details.

Oh damn! Street car! Nasty.

Ok, think heavily how you want to work the firewall. Thats gunna be a hot ass little interior if not done right. Loud too.

 

Thanks. Ya i will make sure i do everything i can to make it somewhat comfortable in the cabin. I'd like to keep the overall tone down. So I'll see what I can fit, won't be much probably.

any luck selling the F3 motor?

Zero luck. Not even a single inquiry.

couple extra pics. look how small it looks! haha. i wasnt even that far away.

Just for reference, i have a samsung galaxy nexus, and it looks huge compared to the tiny brake rotors.

 

man i love that rig, its so fucking cool i want either one of them or a first gen civic

 

thanks man.

N600 > First gen civic

I've had both, this one is way cooler. unk:

 

Very cool project. Subbed

 

oh yes. subscribed.

 

See this is one thing I HATE about Alabama, there is absolutely ZERO vintage JDM! And I mean zero...

In the off chance you do find something it's beat worse that a redheaded stepchild that grew up to be some ******** punching bag.

Kudos on the build again!!!

 

Subscribed to this.

 

Thanks guys!

Damn dude, this AND a new baby on the way? This thing is small enough to be his crib. HAHAHAHA

Congrats on both "Works in progress" bro.

 

Haha yes. Thanks. Hopefully this thing stays in the family until he/she is ready to drive! Hopefully it’s done by then lol

 

sub'd

 

x2

Loving this already, keeping up with progress on this one.

EDIT: What are the plans on using the shifter linkage, or you going for a d17 trans with cable shifter.

 

Little bit of work done tonight. Had some help from my step daughter! She jacked it up for me Hahaha.

Rear suspension is out.

Del Sol jealous. Haven't touched her in months. Need to make some time to show her some attention.

Mad stance.

Looking solid!

I'm really excited about your build. SUCH a rad little car. Haha. Keep up the good work!!!

 

Thanks mrtodd! Love this little guy.

I burned myself yesterday from a metal shaving when I was grinding. Apparently I got branded. Haha

also another picture of the car as is for reference when im done.

Too flare or not to flare....hmmm. I'd love to have a wider wheelbase for better handling, but will it take away from the classic look?

Tires came in today. Woot. Now to find some time to get them mounted.

Please complete this! I know it'll be a lot of sweat and hard work but it'll make alottttt of us happy to see this thing completed

 

thanks man. It will get completed. Unfortunately, i don't fabricate, so the bulk of the work will not be performed by me :icon_frown: but i will do as much as i can!

:whistling:

 

I would go for the widebody look with those flares, I like it.

 

Just remember having lower offset will space the wheels out farther, but this also puts more stress on the wheel and hubs and it won't handle all that great. Look at all Honda's and you will see fairly high positive offset (the S2K is over +50 IIRC). This brings everything close to the suspension and in turn provides better handling.

When you get lower offset wheels you just space them out more, and you are increasing wheel base but also put more stress on everything. If you keep the offset fairly high but use slightly wider wheels/tires you will have good results.

Also it seems like every N600 has the wheels sticking out past the fender, so even on stock offsets having some small flares or rolling the fenders helps the overall look.

 

thanks for the advice. my Enkei's are +38 offset so we should be good. i dont really want to flare, although i really dont want to go narrower to fit in the fender. so im at a cross roads.

i got some time to think about it, at least.

Love to see stuff like this....wish I had the time.

thanks. me too! if i was doing it all myself it would take years.

Got some work done today on the donor car. Entire cabin harness is out. Clutch cable, throttle cable, brake master cylinder, VSS cable, gauges cluster, radiator, fuel lines, fuse boxes is all out! Hoping to have some updates on the n600 this week sometime.

Also found this sneak a toke while I was disassembling the car. Even though i dont smoke, its a pretty smart idea! Basically a pen cap with a eraser housing shoved in there.
