this aint just a lowered spaced framed nova.(all the suspension has been moved up in the shell 3" for a better centre of gravity)thats why it sits so low.all the driveshafts,stearing arms and suspension arms all sit at nomal angles to cut down stress.the idea is to make as much mechanical grip as possible as there aint a lot of aero down force with a nova.my hat go,s off to ste for having the balls to even go ahead and have this car built.good point about the top mounts,theres still more work to be done in this area,cheers

its probably abit late now. but for better strength and distrubition of the "forces" from the suspension. surly its better to have the suspension in this position [match the green dots]. so when the suspension "takes a blow" so to speak. it puts all the "forces" through the cage.

but im guessing you have done it this way to drop it down some more!

Looking excellent,

As they have both stated its still quite obviously a work in progress, lets see when its finished! As obviously an awful lot of thought and very highly skilled work has gone into this, its not just someone building it in a shed!

lol. yeh i can see its a WIP but most of the important/structual work has been done IMO. smal bits of felting to be done yeh.

and no its not being built in a shed. but even some of the bigger companies are crap and they dont work in sheds!
