The disclaimer is that this won't hit the roads for a while, prob's till after i have had in engineered, and that all these photo's are how i intend to get my engineer to aprove the steering set up. Your welcome to copy at your own risk, and im not doing any for anyone else. i know it's a pic over load
























In the last pic, the uni for the cressida box is on there, the other end with sierra splines will go the fire wall.

Cheers

[Rusho]

Looks like it will work well

[bazook]

cool so its working out for you

[31zook]

yeah the uni is off of a corolla.... took about an hour searching through the wreckers looking for the right part happy with the end result tho...

[weaves]

looks good, let us know how engineering goes with it

[31zook]

will do your's is prob's going to happen monday....

[BlueSuzy]

Looks good. Funny how suzuki can pass shithouse welds on steering, yet we nomally can't pass any welds on steering..

[jonno_racing]

That looks good, i was considering seperateing the uni or something elce! but let us know how you go with it!

[31zook]

im not sure you can seperate the uni's jonno, there pressed and crimped in.

@timmy, yes, the welds i cut off of the corrola were scrape through-able.... Im hoping to use the welds as what holds it in the slot's not what keeps it from breaking apart....

[brendan]

looks good, i dont think you will have a problem with engineering, could use that thing as a drive shaft

[31zook]

cheers brendan

Im only putting this next bit up here so i have got my photo's spread out and if my computer dies i can get them off of here.

[BlueSuzy]

Does it bind at all? I normally keep the uni's inline with each other. Like a tailshaft. They look offset in the last pic.

[31zook]

No they would only be 20mm out of left-right, and about 100mm up and down..... the firewall uni is at stock angle, the corrola one is nearly straight..... does that answer your question?

[BlueSuzy]

um.. no

Unis are very good at angles. My vit box is more pissed than your mx box as it mounts on an angle..


Looking at the forks/bearing holder/uni's.
I keep the 2 uni's inline. See how one is turned more on the spline/s?
As an example of the uni's being inline with each other:

[31zook]

im going to install it today after lunch with my girl, ill line them up for you timmay and take a pic.....

so what could be binding?

[BlueSuzy]

ah so its not fully installed yet. i edited last post.

Your leg will be sent on my way to work today. (2pm)

[31zook]

yay, ok

[weaves]

shouldn't you be at work?

thats looking good! also the RUF plates worked a treat.. looks almost standard

[31zook]

haha, i was asked to work friday, so i got to have any day off this week i liked.... sorry i didn't get your steering bar thing done..... i went to mum and dads for about an hour to clean up......

I took a photo then had to run, so they now are fully bolted in and the uni's line up just waiting on timmay's present to get here then it can be tested a bit, i got my G13ba crank pulley today so now i can start on the power steering pump bracket. will be able to get back into it next sat

NOTHING TO SEE HERE.........GO CHECK OUT THE BOOBIES THREAD....

yada yada yada yada yada.......this is just for peoples info if they are going to do the same.

when placing crush tubes in the chassis don't go all the way through with them. look at the suzuki ones and you will see they stop on the inside of the chassis rail. placing them all the way through means the welds are now taking most of the load and not the chassis. don't show the engineer these pics

[31zook]

cheers joe, i didn't realise i did anything wrong, i wouldn't want to be a danger to anyone else on the roads. But seriously, i flappy disked it down flush with the rest of the stock stiffener plate, and there is a milled back on the box that would spread the load yeah? in your engineer's opinion is this something that will fail?

it's only going to be pushing around 29s, but if it's over engineered then ill have to second thoughts with 33's or larger.....

[joeblow]

you should be fine just do regular checks. imagine the box being pulled towards the passenger side away from the chassis, with the sleeves all the way through the weld is the olnly thing stopping it. if they were butted up on the inside of the chassis rail the bolt would be pulling on the sleeve, which would then have to try and get through the chassis. that way the weld is under less load. you still have one original sleeve and i think you'll be right. like i said......burn those pics or photo-chop em'

[31zook]

haha ok, can you delete it from your quote then.

ok, i now understand crush tube.... it all makes more sense..... thanks for that

[joeblow]

just place pics of boobies over those 2 tubes

[31zook]

gawwwwn!

Nice work Josh

[joeblow]

also fixed.

[31zook]

haha, thanks fellas

[31zook]

well im slow, but this is the last of the cressida tech to flow from me. i ended up using a cressida rack and pinion pump, as thats what i could find, 2 fittings from the same rack and pin, and one off of a camry















a belt and some fluid and ill be done
