Title: Re: turtle's 59er Post by: 71CALRIPPER on March 12, 2008, 08:03:47 am wicked dude, all time fav wheel ;D
Title: Re: turtle's 59er Post by: Diederick/DVK on March 12, 2008, 17:12:02 pm very nice mr T!
perhaps you could lower the front 1-2cm? then you'd match the front and rear tyre gaps. hope you'll fit the longtime engine project soon too! 8) Title: Re: turtle's 59er Post by: donder on March 12, 2008, 17:31:12 pm @died, we've allready tried to lower the front a tiny bit but the tires start rubbing instantly when lowering the front.
we are considering of narrowing the front about 2-3 cm and then we can lower the front just a bit more. grtz (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/Donder/IMG_5265.jpg) Title: Re: turtle's 59er Post by: Diederick/DVK on March 12, 2008, 17:32:47 pm ok! hope that works for you then. don't narrow it too much though.
nice steering wheel too!! i'd love a black leather version of that!! ;D Title: Re: turtle's 59er Post by: Christoph on March 13, 2008, 00:49:17 am really nice car, would like to see it in hannover!

This way the front can lower just a little bit more and the tires wont rub anymore. Here are some pictures off narrowing the front beam, I machined some insert to be sure the beam stays straight.

Title: Re: turtle's 59er Post by: Wunder Wim on March 26, 2008, 21:54:22 pm So here's a small-preview from the engine I'm building for Turtle's 59.
Engine is base around a industrial 30hp engine with little run hours. The CR is raised to 8.5/1 and the intake valves have been enlarged from 30mm to the Okrasa 33mm. The heads are currently away for a 3 angle valve job. We've been looking a long time for a good cam but couldn't find a sound Hi-power one so the Og is now away to be regrind. The engine will be equiped with a bigger oil pump and Fram filter. A Riechert kit will feed the engine... Title: Re: turtle's 59er Post by: donder on March 31, 2008, 16:23:53 pm i started fitting the narrowed front axle yesterday, narrowed the steeringbars, fitted new tie rods, new brake hoses, new king and link pin's and bushes, adjusted the camber, the toe in was set,...
I still have to grease everything, bleed the brakes,......................................... enjoy the pics D.
