  • čas přidán 25. 08. 2017
  • Currently, in the UK, the FTO is a cheap option for a track car build.
    This one had a dead engine, but came with the manual gearbox, LSD and a decat so it was perfect for the project.
    In this video I install the rear suspension, including trailing arms, lower control arms and the "dog bones".
    I include the use and fitment of billet aluminium arms designed for the early Lancer Evo and polyurethane bushes for the Toe control "dog bone".
    Thanks for watching!

      Maxim Allen Thanks Maxim, this video was a little experimental in its head cam use. I'm glad the not so good parts haven't detracted from the content. I'm really excited about the next video showing rear caliper work I've been up to...Hopefully it can help a few others to rebuild theirs.

    How did the droplink issue get resolved using the Evo 123 rear arms. Considering doing this job so it would be good to see how this was sorted. Thanks.

    • @ManSeeksCivic
      @ManSeeksCivic  Před 3 lety +1

      The arms came with arb brackets which fitted fine, but we're reported by others to be weak. I reinforced them by welding fillets into the corners of the brackets and so far they seem to be holding up well. 👍

      They fit Evo 1,2 or 3. The chassis of those early evo's and the fto are similar.

      Thanks Tony. My swap knowledge is limited but I believe most colt and early evo bits fit... Its worth looking at any of those parts and comparing them. I think there's a possibility of using lancer shocks... But I don't know the detail unfortunately.

      If you mean the gold ones on the bench... They were the original bolts. I used to work in a plating shop for an aerospace company so was able to clean and replate them myself.

      Peter Byrne The ones we have used are listed as Lancer Evo 1,2 or 3 arms. The only issue is the droplink attachment - this may need some fettling.
