Joan of Arc is the only person I know who lived in Whales. The rest of us from Cymru live (or lived) in Wales. Sorry - I couldn't resist. (It's all in jest -...
Hi all, This is my 1st day and am very interested in this vehicle. Has anyone actually got one on the road? I would love to know what they are like. Pete...
... Pete - now watch my lips carefully. On the page you found us are some photos of the car......... Yep, thats it, the one with three wheels. No eyes on the...
Good afternoon all, I'm very interested in this vehicle and the groups' overall opinion regarding the ease of construction of this vehicle. I have several...
... Ans: Yep. However, you will likely need to have the steering rack made longer to accomodate the additional width. Also the half-shafts would need to be...
Yea, I think I will give it a shot. I've done various engine work before, so I'm not timid. Just need a solid set of instructions on what to measure and such. ...
... The whine from the transmission in reverse is caused by the straight cut rear gears. The forward gears are spiral cut, mainly to decrease gear whine. Take...
Replying to myself again... After reading the pages that I posted, I see they don't mention HOW to flip the gears. The reference came from this thread: ...
Vic, Thanks very much for your comments. I've had a three-wheeled vehicle conceptual design in my head for years now and the XR-3 caught my eye due to it...

Hi Bob and all, As I discovered in talking to Bob Riley some time ago camber is adjusted via the two bolts which sandwich the steering knuckle at the top via...
Hello Cal I have the bolts from the junkyard cavalier (2002 model, I think)) that I got my steering knuckles from. They aren't cam bolts. They fit tightly in...
Hi Paul, Hmmm. If the bolts fit tightly in the knuckle holes and the holes in the XR3's plates are the diameter specified in the plan drawings I'm not sure I...
It would also be possible to adjust the upper control arm bolts (where it meets the chassis). I think it was my old chevelle that had adjustments in that...
... Cars are set for toe-in on the front for stability against wander - if you set them for toe-out, the car will wander easily. While the stock specs for...
Actually most front wheel drive vehicles have slight toe out. When the drivetrain is pulling the vehicle along any slop in the suspension and steering is...
Cal ----yup, I agree this is unclear, I measured the cavalier knuckle hole dia at .562, and the cavalier bolts measure ~.562-.563 at the anti-rotate knurls,...
Allright Paul, you mean you've got that much stuff done, and have never posted a pic?! Give us some inspiration man! :) I'm ordering my tires and rims this...
Well any large assembly is bound to contain some oversights, the guys on the shop floor know to expect and look for them. I know, doesn't satisfy you, probably...

ANyone have any performance specs on the XR-3 running on the diesel engine alone? It's not that I want to go fast (I'd rather have the fuel savings), but I...
Hello all --- I just posted about a dozen (hope I didn't overdo it) photos showing progress on the XR3 project (in the "recent XR3 build photos" folder)....
