Whats this?
Locost
Westy copy?
It looks a lot different from my westy chassis and I was thinking about going for it but now I am not sure what I am bidding on

Your help would be great
Cheers
Brian

10:1 says it's the one being talked about on Pistonheads -in which case I think the conclusion was that it wasn't a Westy, but they couldn't decide what it was! However their knowledge base is far inferior to Locostbuilders, after all we can even answer Q's that haven't actually been asked

If its the one on piston heads it looks like a MK locost chassis [ not a indy ] the back axle is mk the front bones look like mk locost

But i may be wrong but i don't think so

brian. what happened to your westy with the rotary engine?


expatkiwi - 29/3/10 at 09:26 PM

Sitting in my garage
You may have read elsewhere that I was having a bit of a rough time with the engine that was built for me. It was carp.
I then built my own engine. It went bang. Not to be outdone and a sucker for punishment I built another. This....so far has held together. However i am putting the engine that was built for me back in the car and I will run it. I have my reasons and it may see me burning even more bridges in the rotary world but I am quite confident that my own built engine will be good and I have also linked up with one of the most knowledgable and experienced rotary builders in the states for tech info and advice.Fingers crossed I will be at the Abingdon sprint in June

Yes indeed.
I still havent hooked up the front anti roll bar yet or played with the shocks and springs and I must sat that it was scary enough. Scary is good
