just thought id say hi...
hello im new, im doing a motorsport engineering degree and for my dissertaion im going to be modelling a locost with a st170 lump in on solidworks so
i thought id join up and see what projects other people had going on to help out a bit and give me some ideas etc.
i dont own a locost but i have got my own project on the go, trying to build up my chevette for road rallying.

Say hi to Malc and for me (I'm Rob House) and tell him to take a break!
Give me a shout if you want any help- I worked on the original SIHE locost for 3 years aswell
Cheers.

That's not just a Chevette, it's the low flying sort!
Welcome to the madhouse - how would you like to model my chassis & do stress analysis on it?
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

"ideas" dont talk to me about that program, UNDO botton is all it needed and after 12 versions youd have thought someone would have added
it.
my project is to basically get a st 170 lump to fit in one, and design/model all the parts i need to make the engine fit, and then depending on how
quickly i get that done i can start adding more parts; gearbox, axle ... etc.
the chevette is pretty much standard at the mo although shes only done 39k from new. heres some pics of it:
heres some of the goodies ive already got to put on it:
(fibre glass hsr bonnet)
this is kind of what i want it to look like, although the wheels have changed as ive got revo 4 spokes.
got some more up to date photyos on my fone but i cant find the cable to connect it to the pc. in them its got the spots on and mudflaps trial
fitted.
that kadett coupe is nice, my mate used to have a kadett c saloon lovely it was:

Love the Chevettes! Used to road rally a Kadett Coupe a few years ago (about 15!)
Totally trashed a mint SR limited edition and put a 1.9 manta engine in it - If I could find another good one, I'd have it tomorrow!!
