Hi Joseph, I have been reading that you are building your car using MGB and Spitfire parts. That is great I built my car using an MGB. Engine 1800cc, front ...
I bought a bigass car trailer for $1200. It is 6.5 feet wide, 16 feet long. Tandem axle with electric brakes and a drive-up ramp tailgate. It is more than I...
Martin; Thanks for the reply, I am sure that I will have plenty of queswtions. I had already removed the e brake cable, that handle is shot in my car, but the...
Scott, That's what I did here: Cut the bracket and turned it 90 degrees. http://i.pbase.com/o4/58/490358/1/59456926.066F3583.jpg It's amazing that nobody else...
I would vote that those springs were backwards there too. You might lose some tension and flexibility, but if you changed them around you would use longer ...
Jon - Don't bother with the ABS. It's some valuable stuff for resale, but the change in dynamics on the new car could very well send it into spasms. When we...
Pricy compared to a Locost, but imagine if we wanted to be paid for the time we put in to our cars :) One way to look at it is that the Ultralite just about...
All true, but this is the Locost forum. Wayne Keith Tanner <keith@...> wrote: Pricy compared to a Locost, but imagine if we wanted to be paid for the ...
Just look at it before you put it together. In my case, I simply rotated the fastener 90 degrees. I've done that every time I've used Dzus fasteners, I think....
Just do what looks best. I did a bunch of measuring of various Sevens to match up the look with what I wanted and came out with about 26 degrees as common. As...
And it's not intended to be a Locost any more than a Caterham or Atom is. I could complain that my girlfriend's Jeep is awful at autocross and it would just as...
I am still figuring out the windshield for mine. I am still deciding on a split raked windshield around 15 degrees (I made a paper model and it looked good...
Wish I could, but someone put some mountains in the way. See if you can convince someone that you have to do business in Grand Junction :) Caterham USA and...
Hi Joe, Yes I have just over 500 photos but they are not on the web. I should look into putting them on a site but just have not had the time. I do have them ...
Here's my little rig. http://www.cheapsportscar.net/flip.php?x=604 It's a trailer that was originally built for a sand rail back in the 70's. It'll fit the...
Next time I need to shoot handheld video, I'll hand the camera to Mark. He doesn't have my shaky hands :) Cool stuff. The video doesn't capture two things,...
I still don't understand why you dont just use a longer DZUS that takes into account the rivet. If you really want to you could glue a thin wood shim to fit...
... Your right about that. I should of seen the problem before I got the fastner mounted. I thought for $2 I would save some hassel buying the weld. Guess I...
Yep, besides pulling the car onto the trailer for it's trip home under its own power, my only other imperative objective was not to kill Larry. :) Glad he had...
Hi about the duzs fasteners while looking at your photos I noticed that the fasteners do not say duzs on them. On one web site give during this discussion said...
Mark, I may have missed it, but were you able to make a determination as to what specifically caused your LCAs to fail? I looked at you photos of them and had...
It's a torsion setup. The nice thing is that the axle doesn't have to move up and down, so you get a nice low load height. On a "real" car, the fenders prevent...
Keith: Not to be a pain in the _ss, but could you post up some detailed photo's of your trailer. Embarrassingly, I'm sure you remember the multiple times I ...
Nice setup on the trailer. Also just got your book in the mail on Friday. Its a great addition to the Ron champion book. Nice attention to detail, but it...
On Easter Sunday we finally bled the clutch and brakes, put all the parts back on the car......and who better to take the wheel on the maiden run than my 78...
Nigel, if I recall correctly, you're located in Iowa as well. Are you planning to have this registered and on the road? If so, is there anything special you've...
