Locost Build Movie
chrisf - 30/11/06 at 05:08 PM

I made a quick slideshow of the build up of my locost fireblade. The movie requires Flash 8 player and a broadbade connection. It still needs a preloader and to be optimized, but I thought I'd share just the same.

As always, I'm interested in feedback.

hi there matey, must say that first of all the car looks very good, but i have a question. in america do the kit cars have to go through an sva test like they do here in the uk? i just noticed that there is no padding, nut covers or sva friendly bonnet catches on your car?

Who's the music by ?


chrisf - 30/11/06 at 09:21 PM

Hi All:

The Music is by Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies. They product punk cover CDs by genre. This song came off the '50s bubble Gum rock CD. Good Stuff; check the out. But don't tell them to check me out. I don't want to get sued.

We don't have anything like the SVA in the US. Which is good and bad. Some of the stuff the SVA looks at is legitimate concerns. Other stuff like the nut covers and anti pedestrian snagging rules are stupid.

In my case, all they cared about is where I mounted the VIN. The state doesn't even have emissions or safety inspection.

Thanks again guys! The music is finally syncing. It gives quite the shock when it goes from sappy love song to the punk rock version.

I live in Frisco, just north of Plano. If you've been gone a few years, it probably didn't show on the map. TBH, it's a boring suburb.

I put the steering wheel on the right for weight distribution purposes. When the car was weighed, it came out almost perfectly balanced side to side and front to back.
