Hello. I am new to the forum so I hope that I am not asking a question that has been asked many times before. I will be ordering the XR3 plans and plan to...
You may want to look at the tri-magnum (also from Riley) if you're going for higher horsepower. I hadn't seen the Peugeot 20cup before - that it the first...
The plans are very open to putting your own "stamp" on them. The biggest drawback to doing it on the computer before you build is the cost of the Solidworks...
You will get what you ordered, but I know that Bob and his team are VERY busy right now, trying to get the promised CDs out to all of us XR3 plan buyers, so be...
I like your approach...however, I think that you would have a hard time justifying ANY new car purchase with a cost/benefit analysis. Plug in the price of a...
Hi group, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â I was wondering when you would figure out that this car is a novelty not an every day reality. Build it if you want it, not...
Thanks Tom. I think the original design is nice. I just wanted to add my own flare and make it unique. I'm building the car more for personal recreation than...
hello all i am new to the site and looking the xr-3 and many other cars for design and such but i was curious if anyone was using anything other then standard...
Yes it is a novelty,that dose not mean it is not cost effective try buying a new hybrid, look at cost and millage. Also look at cars like the smart car, at...
Hi there! 8,3 years seems quite a lot, but wait till you have to pay the same price for Gasoline that we have to pay here in Europe. The normal price for...
This carol dickinson sounds like a stoolie for the big three. If you ad petrolium companies then it's the big four. Well in 8 years gas will be 8.00 to 12.00 a...
Ya know, I've been looking at your numbers and something doesn't seem right. Running as a HyBrid, or just electric only, should cost less to operate compared...
What source are you using for this assertion? A lot of sources out there believe we're in a bubble now. If that's true, it's unlikely that we'll see price...
Nearly all tubing should be quoted as OD and wall thickness, not as listed below. first paragraph. ... Scott- Iron Design L.L.C. Scott Weinberg 13631 Vail Ave ...
Streamline is listed or would be with three numbers such as you have noted. With three listed and the word streamline, all would be on the same page. cheers ...
- i think the dwgs or manual call out .063" thickness - it's the frame for the tunnel section. the materials list shows .120" wall. - as far as using larger...
I bought 0.65" thickness for the tunnel tubing. Gary, are you sure that 0.120 is correct? Geez!! These mistakes are costing some people alot of money here! ...
In this post some of you are talking about 4130 steel, which is quite expensive and hard to get Chrome Moly Steel, however i can not find anything in the...
Folks, I have not had time to go over a lot of this material call outs. But as Ruudpg points out. There is a HUGE difference in cost between 4130N and...
You could use any cloth material you'd like. Vacuum bag and you can even add sandwiched wood veneers. If I were going to build this design, and I'm not, I...
... [snip...] ... [snip...] It's easy enough to think 400lbs on paper, but even high end, light weight 500cc sport bikes weigh ~400 lbs dry. If you use one as...
Many years ago now I recall a 600lb, single seat enclosed sports car (not stressed for racing mind you) made from a 1.5l 4 cylinder saab drivetrain, and I'm...
