A couple of pics of my R1 powered longtravel

My car has a 03 R1 motor, 23" fornt travel and 19" rear. Lots of goodies such as hids, billet r&p, king piggybacks, and more

Nice looking car. Did you build it or buy it?

[punkur67]

A local fab shop started it. I did most of the frame, all the motor mounts, tabs, etc. I folded their front and rear suspension and their hub. I choped out the front and rear of the car and redid all of the suspension myself including new chromemoly front arms. I also narrowed the front 5 1/2" from what they had and gained 4" of front travel. Its amazing what happens when the goometry is correct.

That is a nice looking car and it sounds like you took time to improve it too. Front end geometery looks good from head on. What are the dimensions and weight?

[punkur67]

The front is 86" wide, the rear is 91" wide, and the wheelbase is 111". I have never weighed it so im not shure about that.

Im curious at the angle of the rear shocks tho, is it a 5 link car? Very nice looking car indeed...

Very nice!

Yes it is a 5 link. With the 5 link you can not mount the shocks inboard like on a trailing arm they are mounted very close to the wheel so I needed a longer travel shock to cycle the 19". We mocked it up with a set of 12" and could only get 14". I do still need to play with the valving and spring rate a little more though. I like a softer ride to get up on the whoops with rather than a stiff ride for jumping. I have the front perfect but the rear is still just a little too stiff.
