Good work ste great skills really cant wait to see this done :)
all i have to say is WOW
Awesomeness :)
That rear turret looks tricky, you'll need to make sure that is bang on, and make sure the other is an exact mirror of it, and placed correctly to keep the car in a straight line, seams allot of bother really, was there no "essayer" route?
Still looks cracking though.

Its trailing arm suspension, wont matter if the strut tops are a bit wonky, wont make a difference to the track.Quote:

Fair enough, just looks very daunting to me lol
the rear turret has no control over the direction of which the wheel is pointing at all its all dictated via the subframe all the turret is is a replacement for the standard calibra/cav spring
do cav springs dictate the toe of the rear wheels?
and its not tricky at all mate hardest part of making them was fitting a new cutting disk in my chop saw lol
also the last pic is of all the bits ready to put the other side together i made all the bits for both sides at the same time so when i get back from work tomorrow an hour down there and i should have a fully rolling 4x4 nova shell
dont mean that to sound arsey by the way just read through it and it sounded snappy sorry
by the way its steve im just logged in on claires at the min
the other reason for me doing it like that will become obvious tomorrow but bare in mind it all needs sealing off and boxing round and like this i can keep the mounting bolt for the top inside the car because i wouldnt be able to access the top bolt otherwise
You want some crab-tasticness, you wait till I start cabletieing mine together lol
lol mine should be straight (famous last words) pmsl
Well i should of guessed you knew what you were doing, I'll just watch from now on... lol
Now this i can believe! lolQuote:

Looking good :D what wheels you going to use? I know bit early to start thinking about that :) but just wondering
thinking along the lines of 18 inch by 8.5 - 9 inch wide what though is another question something like hockenhiemes (sp) i would think
progress looks great
whats your target weight?
and why so big wheels?
so i can run 265 tyres
Camber looks iffy on the front :)
looking awesome!
surly there are rims available which are like 13's or 15's which are super wide.Quote:

just had a look, not a super good tyre i doubt, but available.
less weight with a small wheel :)
