Project Carbon 4x4

Very cool seeing the frame out the car like that eh? But, umm, how did you get it all out on yours? You still have the floor in there!

I guess tagging it to the chassis is the next step...

How are you connecting the steering arms to the car, if they are at a different arc to the lower arm then you will introduce unwanted bump steer,
ive tried to find the link to his project but for some reason obsessive performance disorder forum seems to be down!
Chip doesn't use Png but I'll point him this way for his input, as you might as well benefit from others mistakes and research!

I think he's making up a bracket off the cradle for it. Yeah why not cheers.

Yeah it's shit hot seeing it like that! Haha there's no floor or anything in the back so it just pulls out the back of the car

Yeah will be welded in place next I think, and finally should see it going back together!

please please after all this effort dont use a front setup in the rear,
its such a crap way of doing it, even the original calibra beam is better than using the front gear in the rear.

It's only the front hubs I'm using. I don't see the issue? All arms etc are being made to suit. Not really sure what else i could use either.

So long as the track control arms are made correctly there shouldn't be a problem

Mazda MX5 uprights?

My thoughts exactly mate

Mazda MX5 uprights?

It was spoken about, just using the front hubs for the time being though. I think it'll be all good tbh and if it's not I'll change the setup.

To be fair the macpherson strut does make the track arm harder to design than a twin wishbone set up so don't be surprised if it's not perfect first time

[bazzap8389]

Yeah I'll wait and see how it is when it's on the road. I'm happy with how it's turned out so far.

A few pics from today. Cage is welded to the car now also.
