ha, its all good, im sure they are awesome welds, they look good, i have only been in the TIG room for 2-3 weeks, hopefully get onto stainless steel and aluminum with TIG soon. do any of you guys have any clue how much i could get a decent running used/rebuilt mazda engine, for like a 91 b2200, 4cyl i believe, im not sure what the engine is exactly.

couple new pics... wishbone setup is in. Spent most of the day chasing parts, grinding off the stock spring hangars and perches, and building tabs, so it may not look like much, but we got alot done today..lol Oh..and I got a little excited...final measurement, it'll lay on a 28" tire..lol....just in case he ever wants to roll those 20's out back     |

bounce? doug, oh that wishbone set up, do you need to get those bars at like close to a 45 angle like with uppers on on tri 4 link? looks good

45* is an ideal number, and when working within the confines of a stock frame, and the axle getting a foot of travel, you will need to make some comprimises. In reality, 45 would have put the bars way too short and pulled the axle way forward through the range of motion. Anything from 30 or so to 45 will sufficiently keep lateral axle motion in check. And the cool part, is that the horizontal lengths of the bars are within 1/2" of each other in lenght, so he gets less a degree of pinion angle change through over 12" of travel |

Oh..and for the motor, the B2200 is the 2.2l 4-cyl. check the local jap recyclers, you should be able to pick one up for 3-500$ in good running order...

Only that little amount of pinion angle change throughout the complete suspension travel? Why is it so less if you dont mind me asking? Is it mostly due to the bar legths beign so close to each other or placement of the bars? |

Is it mostly due to the bar legths beign so close to each other or placement of the bars? It's the bar lengths, Frank. If the upper and lower bars are the same length the pinion angle won't change. The more they are different in length the more the angle will change through travel. |

The bars are just about 25" center to center of the mounting points
