Hi all, quick up date:
Will update more once I have got a bit more done. Been busy at work and with my MSc for past 8 weeks, so car has taken a back seat : (

Just a little update:
Once suspension is finished I'm thinking of sorting the roll bar out.

Hi Rob, nice to see it moving on.
I'm now seriously thinking of my next build, stumbling block atm is moving house, once that happens I will be ready to go.
I'm defo going down the inline rear engine layout using (probably) a V6 and trans from an Audi.

Hi Coozer,
Cheers, its slow progress and if you have seen my suspension posts you will see the development involved.
Pleased your thinking of doing a similar project, id be very interested in seeing what your ideas are.
Possibly if i was starting again with mine id look at making jigs for the suspension pick ups, its been a pain in the butt the way ive done mine but
thats life, learn from your mistakes.
I reckon if you do a midi with a transverse engine, you will have less trouble with the pick ups. Also as my engine cants forward, i think i have had
more issues than i might have using say a Zetec, but it will be worth it in the long run, its going to sound mental!
If you do look at my suspension posts, you will see my latest Camber adjusters, although im now on a revised mk 2 version, im pretty happy with the
result, cant wait to get the rear end finished then i can start on the front. With a bit of hard work and a few holidays i still have hopefully ill
have it on its wheels by the end of the summer. Well thats the plan!
Rob

I was thinking of keeping the front suspension the same as the locost book, and using the rear bulkhead off the book just cutting out the engine space
at the front. Also not needing a big tunnel narrow the chassis to about 850mm?
And, looking at Audis with the inline/FWD trans thats what I fancy. Going for the V6 as they are shorter than the 4 pot and will look mint with a
Holley and air filter on top1
Cheers

I am thinking of copying the Haynes wider front suspension geo. I like the tunnel. Its the rear I cant visualise. Ive seen the McPherson struts used
to good effect but heavy.
As for power I really cant make my mind up but I really am leaning to the Scooby but have been given a mondeo and I have the st170 in the garage.
Body style exo / lmp / 7 ?
keep up the good work
