LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Dont think I have posted within this thread yet but I am in admiration for all the work you have done.I cannot believe you have done it to such a new car but full credit to you for being different and confident enough to start this...and I am sure complete it with great success.I can't wait to see, hear and maybe experience the finished result. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The finished weight will hopefully be less than i initially worked out. I'm hoping for less than 400kg and i will keep cutting and making carbon parts until i get to that weight.

VW_Mannetje Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 All of the rear has to come out as its no longer needed, the rear suspesion will be mounted to the new spaceframe chassis once i get it made. The rear end is using either unequal length wishbones or a trailing arm system, i still have to decide on that yet. Its all down to how long i can make the wishbones. The last thing i want is to have no camber change in bump and droop.Hey, looking very good!!!!

Max69vk Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Holy poop! I've only just read this properly, how much does the car weigh now? It was nearly blowing away in the wind at E38, with all the back now missing you'd better stay away from the beans...One fart & you'll blow the car into next doors garden! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Litre Screamer Posted December 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Thanks for the offer Jen, I know where to take it once its finished, how about every second sunday of the month? (you did offer!)Max69vk- Its alot lighter than at E38! i can lift the whole shell on my own now. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Thats even with the glass still bonded in,which will be coming out and having plastic fitted, thats another 40kg lighter!one litre wonder - I have already had the jet wash in there! all clean now. Once its finished the rear quarter windows and the boot will be removable so that i can get the jet wash in to the back and clean the engine area, this also allows me to climb in to the back and service the engine. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Tom_g - Get it done!!!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
