I'll answer this one for you 01. 

    No the car that will be with me at the end of May will be a Subi car.  One that has been revapt from a standard travel car into a long travel car.

Boxed Arms IMO are easy if you have them all puzzle fit and tabed on the laser or water jet correctly. I just designed a set for the race team I do work for. Here are a couple screen shots. Just posting it to give you some ideas...

Title: Re: Cross Motorsports long travel two seater

Easy to TIG.

Post by: Admin on April 27, 2009, 08:31:26 PM

yeah those are TIG welded. The lasers were actually cut from 4130 .095 plate. Not cheap!

After welding they go out for heat treat. I just drew them up. I dont do the FAB work on them. Next time Im out there Ill get some pics of the completed units. Mono Balls are used on the ends.

Is anyone interested in buying the engine out of my car in the photos?
There has been gobs of work done to the engine and is only two seasons old on the new rebuild.
It has a leaky head gasket and uses some coolant but nothing gets into the crank case but compression blow by from the leaky head. The car still runs like a raped ape and starts every time.
If someone wanted to pull the head and get it resurfaced it would make a good powerplant.
Here are the things that I have done to the engine:
Milled and ported head
valve job complete
Barnett high pressure clutch conversion
+4 deg. timing advance rotor
Rebuilt oil and water pump
all new bearings in the rotating assembly
new rings and a hone job
all new seals and o-rings throughout
full akapovic race exhaust system
exup servo relay
fitted wiring harness
carbs are jetted to run ethanol ( E-85 )  WHAT A DIFFERENCE THAT MADE!
K&N air filter
15T front sprocket
I'm sure that I have forgoten something and if I remember any thing else I will add it in later.

I will also throw in an extra complete engine that I blew up years ago with lots of usable parts

$900.00
