ae86 arches fit!!!
 

just a bit of good news for anyone looking for a set of wide arches for their s12, the arches available for the ae86 fit our cars prefectly. I got a set for mine with the intention of modifying them to fit the car, but discovered that they actually fit the car perfectly, if you fit the front p/s arch to the rear d/s and ontinue in that order they fit 100% and look as if they were made for the car.

Dont know if this is common knowledge but i thought i'd share it anyway

good find mate, can you post any pics up,cheers.:)

i will indeed ill put them up thursday night when im back working on the car, theyre sitting in the boot atm

cheers, where did you get them from ? and how much ?

i got them off brian campbell in warrenpoint over here, www.driftkits.eu, he makes replica vertex uras etc kits, i dont know the price because i got a front bumper and skirts off him aswell and we just agreed on 650 euros total but i think he mentioned 250 or 300 was the normal price for them. They are excellent quality as is the bumper and skirts. And the best bit was i was his forst s12 customer :D he said to send him pics when its fitted and he might make some moulds if there is a demand:cool: , if you want his phone no just let me know.

Now to try convince him to make a carbon fiber bonnet :p

i wanted a carbonfibre bonnet made like my blue mk1 bonnet.

how far did you get with that or what ended up happening, i had a notion to try and make a mould of one last week and give it a go but the costs quickly put me off:mad:

it never got done, cheaper option would be a fibreglass bonnet with a layer of carbonfibre on the top.

feck off now you have me thinking again and i cant afford it at the minute:furious , i think ill ask brian if he would do somthing like that when im picking up the indicator lights for the bumper off him

lol, yeah get it done;) , keep me posted mate.

will do, ill get the pics up thursday

Yes, goodto knw as was gonna take the risk & buy a set anyway!

now u can buy the set without the risk:cool:

woohoo!

wheres the pics?????

not here

hmm i worked that one out lol

theyre on my phone but i forgot the cable to take them off, i was too busy making some "light chassis modifications" to the rear shock towers, and then when i got home realised, shit wheres the cable. Ill pop them up asap along with pics of the other work

sorry for the delay lads:)

lol so u shud be im dyin to see wot they look like! how much where they ?

they were something like 200 or 250 euros, i got skirts and a bumper too and the total was 650, the skirts were 180 so a guess means 200-250.

ill have them asap, im a bit sidetracked with other parts of the car atm...

i.e finishing theese off

Looking good mate, can't wait to see the finished article as that's probably the route I'll go with mine :D

its 5" internal diameter tube for the body of the towers and 5mm plate for the tops. Its welded to a 2mm plate thich is then welded to the floor of the boot and aother plate which ties it into the arch tub. Theres then anther plate 2mm that ties the bottom of the tower to the chassis rail. Start to finish your looking at about 6 or 7 hours work per side.

i didnt have the camera with me when i started them, but i do have some work in progress pics on my phone, but i dont know how to get them off it :o

Hmmmm, still no pics? :furious

yer i wana see lol

Pictures, pictures, pictures, pictures!!

AE86 Arches...
 

I found an American site that has a small selection...

(http://shift-lock.netfirms.com) ,

If we are looking to go Tofu is there anything (model wise) we have to look out for? Like the arches size between the Sil and the AE86 are a 'near as damn match'? Or is it a major fab. job?
Idea's people?

Come on Terry really wanna see them pictures as have been putting my order of the arches on hold for your pic's, so i can see if they are the same one's i am looking at & how well they fit & look, plz plz post pics!!!!

Even got me excited! Can you just hold it or tape it onto the sides and see how they look?!? Photo's :D

Pics of arches
 

I like the idea of the arches , would'nt say 100 % yes til i saw the pics of how good they fit :) :)

we want pics!

i have seen a car on club s12 that had these arches fitted a year or so ago. they look good but are quite expensive.
search club s12 and you may find the pics

s12 arcch extensions
 

Found this on s12.org, they fit 240z, ae86( rivet on or screw on ) and by the thread the guy reckons no mods, i reckon we should be able to get these from the guy at the "Z" farm , going to try and ring him on my next time of work,
