rears are .81 fronts will be 1.25

Small update! My Dad and I got the left rear tub made and fitted, all we have to do is make some small filler pieces and weld it in. We should get this side done by next Sunday.

We have never done a mini tub job before, so we got to try out a few new tools we picked up like the bead roller, hole punch and found out how awesome clecos are! So the right side should move along a lot faster since we have a template now and have a plan on whats happening.

I got a set of Forgeline ZX3R wheels on lay away, I just have to finalize my color choice (thinking satin black or maybe a satin bronze center and polished lips) and get some backspace numbers to Frank at Prodigy Customs. Going to order a set of tires tomorrow (Nitto NT05's) to help with fitment, now I just have to mock up the front suspension and fenders to get an accurate measurement.

Here is some pics:

Thanks,

awesome, looks great! I love clecos too :thumbsup:

Thanks man, how's the AI Project going?

Thanks,
Jon

That's great stuff, I wouldn't do anything different.:thumbsup:
I sooo want to start another Javelin project, I just don't have the time and cash right now.:mad: Plus I want to get my current car where I want it before I get another project going.
I will be ordering G-Force internals for my Auto-to-T5 swap in the next week or two and I dropped off my 401 with the engine builder to get that started.:D

Thanks Mike, your car is looking good, and I really like the hood. That 401 and the T5 will really make that car fun to drive. What kinda horsepower you looking to get out of the 401?

Thanks,
Jon

Thanks! It's been another fun summer with it.
The goal is 450-500 HP with very good street maners. This will pretty much max out the capabilities of G-Force T5.
For the block I am going to stick with the basic stock forged internals, about 10.5:1 CR, and a custom roadrace pan with an external oil pickup line.
The only spendy part will be the Edelbrock heads with some bucks spent on porting and shorty headers (eventually some long-tube custom headers too).

Sounds like a great plan Mike, should be a lot of fun.

Well a small update, We got the tub fully welded in, I got my new tires in decided to go with some 275/40/17 and 315/35r17 Toyo R888's. I got most of my wheel measurements now, just waiting for a conformation that the backspacing I need will clear the brakes, then they can start making them.

Here is a few pictures:

Front wheel will be 9.5" wide with a 6.25" backspace pending it will clear 14" Baer 6S brake kit. The back will be 11" wide with 6.9" backspace. This makes the front track width 1" wider overall than the rear.

Thanks,
Jon
