Jo,
how much u were quoted to do the spot welding?

 

[Joeker]

I heard the market price is RM1,500~2,000.

In my case, I DIY the whole process. The cost is the welding electrodes and the workshop's electricity bill.

 

[ambayah]

Wah, I love this, more updates please :D

 

[whatdamn]

joeker,
ah was thinking of something along those lines. umm, if you don't use a rack clamp or something to hold the front and rear of the chassis before spot welding, the chassis will crumple (not kua cheong crumple la) i mean the metal will be pulled to one direction (area of spot weld) won't it?

 

[Joeker]

OH!? need to clamp? I did'nt know. Let me check with the workshop. THanks for informing.

Spot welding around the front driver and passenger compartment.

The person welding is Loon Auto's owner.

 

[Joeker]

Finished welding.

Note that I swapped the Corbeau bucket for this gray colored bucket (It appears my 38" waist could not fit into the slender silloutte of the Corbeau :tongue: )

Anyway, bought this unbranded Grey bucket seat earlier last month from ZTH member "Little monster" aka Nick.

Finally took it out for a spin with a couple of frens yesterday afternoon at an undisclosed location.

Due to my total lack of drift skill, I understeered all the time and eventually DESTROYED my front tyres. Sigh! :(

Time for new front tyres HELL YEAH!!
