i'm new to this, but i would like to build a mid engined car using a space frame chassis and a bike engine. i was wonderig if any body had any advice or tips for me on design of the chassis and suspension system. i don't know at this stage wether it would just be for competion or road use as well.
i have full use of cad/cam and a metal fabrication buisness and a plastic vacformers.
thank you for any help or advice

H Jezz,

First thing...welcome you are in the right place

Second, I suggest you read most of this section as chassis design as been discussed often...and also under the chassis area on the main board.

Third...keep asking questions...we are all here to learn stuff off everyone else

See you around......

Jezz,
Welcome to the board. I am in the process of designing/building a mid engined bike powered car. I have some info on my web site:

Welcome Jezz, all the sound information has already been offered. I too am into mid-engined cars, and at the moment race a ZZR1100 powered car off-road. You can see some of the details on my site. http://www.rortydesign.com
