angle kit v2

did this just for fun, but turned out to be helpful in checking up the design. front left corner completely assembled with angle kit gen.2. + ultimate coilovers + alloy hubs + parts of the rx7 brake conversion + an inaccurate model of a volk wheel, 15x8.5 et-5, 195/45R15 R888 tires. just some eye candy, hope you like it!

small update on the angle kit gen.2. project
decision was made in favor of those who dont want to modify their chassis rails to give space for the wheel to turn in.
i have modified some parts in the model in order to give more flexibility. now the kit has track adjustability from oem width to a whopping 70mm extra track on each side. that will give enough room for any 15" wheels and even some 16" inch wheels with low profile tire to gain full lock of 65° without tire to chassis rail contact.
in order to make this 70mm adjustability possible, the kit will also include modified ae101 inner tie rod joints with extra long threading.

Development of the angle kit gen.2. continues.
checking link lengths, paralell adjustablity, part intersections and collisions. modeled the steering rack for designing parts responsible for rack relocation.

Just a shot...

update on the ultimate coilover project: based on feedback of the prototypes and experience with the initial production, i did many tweaks to reduce weigth, make production simpler and faster. some sacrifies had to be done though, native support for the rx7 caliper was dropped in favor of free brake setup changes, better material for the stub axle and weigth saving. instead you will get additional rx7 caliper bracket made of 7075-T6 alloy, which will be a tweaked version of the classic design, backwards compatible with standard struts. all in all, installed, the total weight will be less than with the native bracket made of steel. at the end, the whole unit will look much more refined, much nicer.
