It was discussed fairly briefly a few days ago
(clicky), although doesn't look like
anyone had bought it yet.

UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

Veloce (the publisher) books are generally pretty good reads. I have the Pinto SOHC tuning and sportscar suspension and brake set-up books. Both
have plenty of pics and diagrams and readable text and are aimed at the enthusiast rather than professional reader.

Yup - Got that the other day - pre ordered it off Veloce
Think it's excellent - but that might be because I'm planning on building one!

So does it have full chassis plans and do they estimate a build cost? (Without engine). Is it diff or chain driven?

I might be wrong, but i think it is more of a "how to" rather than a ron champion "here are the plans".

£250
