I would but have you tried to model seats in solidworks !
That front sunframe (for longer front wishbones I might add) is made from 17 parts !

Based on some new anti-grav seats I presume?

Some wheels might be useful .... or is it a new kind of Skidoo?

He's using the Bose suspension technology and fitting it to the driver/passengers arses...

Anyone modelled some seats in Solidworks?
Thought not, smart arses

You can see the air ride suspension better here
And yes it is an R1 engine. Goto DPcars website it you want a free copy.

Ah a new style of hair dryer looking at the positions of those tubes on the motor. Is the front bit a magazine rack ?

Is it just me or are both of those blokes steering? That would certainly make for some novel handling...

Nope!
I need to find a rented garage to store it.
I am going to do a few shows this year, so hopefully it will sell after people see it.
It doesn't look right in photos, which a few people have been surprised about when they see it for real.
Roll on Detling !

might have a problem there with sharp edges at the front when it comes to sva. oh and where are the indicators.
very good. better than I could do at the moment.

hmm, nice,
here is mine... I made the mistake of not measuring properly how much space I need..... so the front needs to be made longer and rear shorter... when
I get some time to finish my build table I will make some real measurements and a rough lifesize outline of the chasis...
I also made some simulations of the front suspension geometry...so I need to fit those pickup points into my model..
sidepods look dangerous, but add massive torsionall stffness..

These 3 pictures show how useful solidworks is.
I have modelled the suspension to find the optimum angle to mount my wishbones to the chassis.
I need un-equal wishbones that will rest with the bottom of the car at 60-75mm from the road and raise another 75mm with my air suspension without
increasing camber too drastically. The will be camber change but it is kept within acceptable limits. It took a few top wishbone changes to get this
right but you can see from the model that camber gain is not excessive.

Why have you chosen to have little or no camber gain?

There is camber gain, but if I want to run the car higher, then too much camber will be detrimental to my tires.
I also have adjustable rod ends (custom adjuster) that would enable me to set the car up quickly for track use.
This consists of a metal cup that will be part of the wishbone. The adjuster will be threaded to accept the rod end.
By placing a bar in the end of the adjuster, it can be turned to adjust the rod end in or out. That way the suspension will be spot on instead of to
the nearest half a turn.
Afterwards the adjuster can be lockwired. There will also be a lock nut on the rod end.

Sorry I showed the wrong chassis point version. Here is what I will use as a general layout for the rear (only a pivot model) The square plate is only
for inboard suspension location.
