Matt, you could just email me, sorry, i don't check this forum often... lol.
"
Kens axle, I was looking at your pics on Honda-Tech John, did you ever get those shock angle issues solved? Can you use that rearend with regualr CRX suspension (at least temporarily...)"
The angle was still present, but we concluded that it would be ok, and would still work fine... it would have been nice had it been perfect, but ah well.
"
In terms of those rear brakes, are they like a handbrake only setup? Or do you hook them up like standard rear brakes? My buddy is telling me to get a non boosted master cylinder and just run my front brakes..do you have any ideas on this? "
Out of simplicity and cheapness, most people just run a handbrake to the rear, and their master cylinder only operating the front two like a motorcycle... however, the proper way to do it, is set the rears up in-line, using a handbrake that is designed to be hooked in-line... CNC makes these. Then, run a brake proportioning valve on the rear, so that you can limit brakes to the rear even more, since the pedal is capable of locking the rears up easier. You'll prolly want the prop valve in front of the handbrake so you aren't trying to handbrake through the prop valve to
"
You mentioned you need to remove your gas tank, thats ok because Im going to go with a custom setup, do you know of a 3 gallon cell I can fit under the hood? If not, what should I do...Ive been considering cutting out the rear floor and welding a flat plate back there, then I can fab up a fuel cell mount and box I guess..... "
I'd run it in the front... but the problem with tha,t is that you're going to likely have to run something custom... find someone that can weld aluminum good, and you're set. Otherwise, why 3 gallon? If it is just a race car, you don't need that much.. maybe a 1 gallon, and mount it up front.
"
In terms of a fuel cell, I just need a cell, an external pump, a filter and lines right? "
In order.... Cell, Fluel Filter, Fuel Pump, Fuel Filter, Fuel Rail, Fuel Pressure regulator, Fuel Filter, back to the cell....... thats if you're anal about not screwing stuff up
"
Also, Im assuming that axle bolts somehow to where the trailing arm bolted up at the main bushing, maybe like abracket or something, or do you have to fab that too? "
The Kens axle comes with that bracket.
Anyhoo, ask away, i'll check this thread more frequently
You could also call me to... you should still have my cell number, but if not, PM me!
