Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hello, I'm looking for a coily rolling frame for sale to be shipped to the US anyone have one???

There was two that keep doing the rounds on e-bay.

Think he wanted $100 and $150 for them each.

The only reason I didn't get one is he is in queensland.

I'll keep my eye out and if I find one I'll let you know.

Cheers Nick

Man That's $80-120 US dollars!!! I really wonder how much they weigh so I can figure out shipping!!!

why do u want 1?????????????

bazooked:
I'm building a 2wd street samurai and the coil over set-up on the "coily" would fit perfectly into my build. I actually only need the complete suspension so I could graft it onto my "leafy" It might be easier to get the frame and swap over bodies.
If anyone knows where I could get a complete suspension to swap over as well I'd be greatful for that as well.

Coilys also have the more bling front end!
and dash, more modden. .
BUT remember it will be right hand drive

mud4b on this forum is the one selling the coily chassis I believe, give him a PM

Zuku26,

how hard have you though this through? EVERYTHING on the front of a coil sierra is different, quite apart from it being RHD. If you have the skills to fabricate you way around the RHD problem, then you would be able to fabricate a basic hot rod style front end using parts you can acutally replace in the US.


some of the issues include:

The front axle takes a reverse rotation front diff, which is unique to the coil car. Ratio is 4.1:1 and there are basically no other ratios available. A coiler has the tie rod running behind the axle and under the pinion, so you can't swap in a conventional diff.

Coiler axles are 1.5" wider overall, and run different wheel bearings, knuckles, spindles, calipers, caliper mountings etc.

By the time you got a "suspension" from a coil car, every single part of it will need to be changed. You will end up with two radius arms which are prone to bending and have non replaceable bushings.

I a not really sure what you are shooting for, but my guess is that hot rod front end stuff will be the answer.

PS there is a reason that coil chassis etc are so cheap

Steve.

Yes yes, I was paying attention, but as I said, if you ignore the front diff, then what is useful out of a coiler if it was to be converted to LHD? 2 radius arms, and maybe the shock mounts, all of which is garbage anyway. None of the spacing will work out with a front mounted tie rod at stock ride height, (I have tried to work this out before) so the tie rod will have to still go behind the axle, so unless custom/off application knuckles were being used, then the builder would still need the coiler knuckles, which means coiler spindles bearings, calipers etc.

The US market did receive 2WD Samurai.... I can't see why some short hot rod coilovers and a simple link front set up from a hot rod shop wouldn't be heaps easier than trying to import coiler stuff.

yup it was me.
i have sold them both.
ps work number is now 54789994..
e-mail is now suziworxplu2@hotmail.com

yeah, u would be better making a set of custom arms, and using a set of koni ajustables or simaler,

You can change the bushes in coily trailing arms, they just very hard!

Why don,t you mod your chassis and suspension,Cheers Paul

I was under the impression that suzuki had designed the coily suspension utilizing existing mounting locations from the leafy. and had not done a complete suspension and frame redesign. They did do a redesign of teh entire vehicle for the Jimny though. I figured If I could at least swap the body from my leafy to the coily. But if I could just mount the suspension itself I'd be golden.
Some one has to have a bunch of pics of the stock coil suspension
