2nd hand parts you should be able to do it under a grand, and thats with everything including brakes.
yeah i agree with u gilly... i just need to find some ontrol arms and 86 camber tops
under a grand huh, hmm i thought it may be a bit more than that, tho thats at a guess, i ASSUMED lol that the brake setup wouldnt necesarrily be all that cheap from say a wreckers, spose ive never bought brakes from them but i didnt think they would be cheap, by the time you buy the brakes, coilovers, camber tops, controll arms, rack ends, tie rods, you could easily go over that grand, especially if new, hell u can spend more than that easily on a new set of coilovers alone. second hand tho hmmmm id guess it could be done if one shops around for the deal. I cannot wait to do this conversion, tho i need money and time is money lol
sorry for ranting on
scott
when ya think about it its not that inconcievable.. wreckers ya get ripped off but if ya cant find CA18 S13 brakes and hubs for cheap then you belong in hospital.
if you're cheap you can use S13 camber tops just slot one of the holes in ur strut tower (who cares what people say, you wont lose enough strength for it to be a big deal) coilovers shouldn't cost much more than 600 bucks or so used for good ones considering its just the front two you need.. RA40 rack ends and 60 tie rods cost butt all... so around a grand seems right to mee.
Good stuff Gilly, you're using chaser control arms hey? good info
yea ive been pricing it up and it should come under 1k the major killer is the coilovers, because I dont want to buy a really cheap set and then find out that they need to be rebulit straight away , even though it would most probably be. brakes should be around $150-$200 or less depending on how much they person needs the cash, then tie rods wheel bearings get them through work so get a bit of a discount.
1 GRAND FOR ALL THE BENFITS OF THIS SETUP IS A SHIT LOAD CHEAPER THEN USING SPECFIC 86 PARTS
i priced some stuff up the other week with second hand parts.
sr20 complete wheel hubs and brakes $125 each
S13 lca's left $125 and right $95
S13 coilovers about $500 depending on make whatever, not too sure on them cause i already have a set.
and if you need use the other lca's bluebird ball joint new from supercheap are $30 each.
hope it helps
i had a wheel alignment done yesterday, using the RA60 rack ends and RA40 tierod ends, the tierod is pretty much wound all the way onto the rack end almost "bottoms out" that was set to zero toe. i'm happy with that and now have pretty thick rackend / tierod arrangement.
i am using a streetable 2.1 * neg camber, why the .1?
it was put on the aligner and thats what it measured both sides so yeah we left it as is!! thats with the camber top in the almost middle position, i'll get a pic up soon to explain it better.
Pricelist:
- New S13 coilovers - $800
- New AE86 camber tops and top hats - $250
- S13 hubs and LCAs - $100
- SR brakes - free
- MX62 LCAs - $50
New balljoints, rack ends and tie rods- Probably $1-200
New pads - Probably $100
Total: Around 1400-1500 for a basically new setup.
