I sat in the prototype of this car in April of 2001 at the AHA show in California. It felt and looked like a "kit" car at that time. The purple one in their...
Steve, Thanks for the link. What amazingly poor pictures.....some look as if they are of a scale model to me..:-) I don't get good vibes at all from the...
Critique - The build was of mediocre quality. Fiberglass layup was chop-strand. Fit and finish was not to my personal standard. I figured it was simply because...
Hi again Steve, Yeah, all that sounds like what I felt from the site. I do feel for them. I really do. Putting together a car from scratch is hard, and they...
IMHO it's too short or something.... Why is it that the photo with the hard top screamed Fiero at me? Where does one find a Renault transmission???? Yes it's...
Subject: RE: [Locost_Theory] Anyone ever seen this car? Mullen ... Tony, All good points. Yes, it does look short, and it's NOT transverse either...no wonder...
Alan, AMC used Renault components for several years (until they happily met their demise...) I believe the Medallion uses a tranny that is suitable. The...
Hi, I've been wondering what sort of body to put on my two seat Terrapin. The thought of a sort of Can Am thing (like the Lndar R7) appealled for a while, but...
Here you go. Enjoy. http://members.cox.net/kimini22/car/ You're welcome in advance! <GRIIIIN!> Steve G. Then it hit me, a while ago I had the idea of building...
... Yeah, seen this one before. In fact I think I've seen every space framed Mini, mid engined mini, alternative engined mini, etc. on the web. I've been a...
... Thanks. It's kind of nice being on this list compared with the Mini-list. On there you get a lot of negative comments along the lines of "you'll never ...
Maybe they are more realistic over there on the mini list... Do mini builders have small things on their minds? <joking> But my personal theory is - If I don't...
This is a general question to anyone who has cut and shut a fuel tank. I have an MR2 gas tank with all the senders and fittings to match my MR2 engine. If...
Got the deDion tube tacked in this morning. Trailing link brackets not welded on yet. I figured out how to make the e-brake work in this configuration,...
Just be very careful as I have heard of people having their heads blow off whilst cutting and welding fuel tanks. Personally I think you would be much better...
Hi this is the first time I have replied to this list but in this instance I feel I need to. The dangers involved in trying to cut and shut a fuel tank are...
Ah yes, the explosion factor.... I have in mind taking the tank to a radiator/fuel tank specialist down the road who works with these things and see if he can...
So, is your Mini going to look mostly stock or are you going for a Group B Rally Car or race car look? I have a friend who has a Renault R5 Turbo... beautiful...
Steve, As the wheels and brakes are non sprung they do not count toward the CoG of whole car! Certainly not enough worth worrying about. Putting the calipers...
Thanks. That's what I needed to know. S. ... From: spyderman_uk <terry.hill@...> To: Locost_Theory@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 5:20...
I agree. I have heard of a case where a tank was left open (ie cap off) to let any residual petrol evaporate for some weeks. Then, to get the dry crap from the...
OK. 2 to 0 in favor of me not killing myself via explosion.... <|:-D I'll take it to the pro down the street and HE can kill himself... Steve ... From: James...
Steve When I updated my street rod to EFI I had to put a swirl pot in the bottom of a Morris minor tank that was fitted. Took the tank out removed sender etc...
