Chassi drawings
I'm planning for my project, a mid engined, motorcycle engined two seater.
I was thinking about using the same layout of the engine as the coram (I think). With the engine mated to a sierra differential. My question is, Is
there anyone who has some basic drawings of a mid bike engined car, something that I could start from so to say. My main concern is how big I should
make the personal compartment, the widht and length of it.

to pick the width of the chassis, you either want to compare it to a normal 7 type and reduce it by the width of the tranny tunnel, or you can pick
two seats, place them side by side, and, with help from a friend, work out what width you need for comfort.
as for chassis plans, inspiration can be taken from a variety or sources. once you work out how to arrange the drivetrain, you can work out the
positions of the wishbones and the engine mounts. i would copy someones dimensions with regards to the actual layout of the bones, unless you have a
good understanding of suspension.

Fury..
Take a look at Mr. Fishers latest Fury. The Menace. Fireblade engine onto a Freelander diff (a lighter diff than the sierra) via a cush drive. Its
quite a neat little car but i doubt they would give you the plans !!

What a disappointing "video". I kept waiting, "yes.... and?" Where's the spirited drive, the fast shifting, the
handling, something above practically idle speed?
Many kit car companies don't seem to understand the importance of a promo video. It's the "hook" that can turn a web visitor
into a customer. They have a running car, a proper video should be at the top of their list.
<sigh> shakes head...

Jeez......Steve and I did more exciting videos than that.....
What a waste of bandwidth.....
Still don't see the point of a quite pretty front engined looking car that is actually a middy..?

Quite a poor video.. ehm
Anyone knows a website where to get some really nice videos, so I got something to drool over?
I'm sitting here looking at some drawings for a normal 7, I wish I knew how to use a cad program, sitting here with turbocad and goes woohoooo
everytime I manage to make a line...

Click here - and then click on the 'Turner LMP' link.
I will have some 'better' action video on the Turner Auto Design site as soon as I get a spare moment to upload it from my camera! Shug
can testify to the way the car was being driven around Bedford Autodrome by Phil Bennett... (who he? he who broke 'Ring lap record!)
Best Regards,
Steve.

We were complaining about the Fury video. Stooopid video. Why show it driving at all?
OTOH - Turner LMP --- Woo Hooo!
Love that car Steve-o! Sounds good too.
We need a full in-car lap please! Audio sweetened with engine. Show us what she'll do!
