any progress is good progress keep up the good work
aint you finished this yet lol
Are you gonna try and lower the arm mounts too?
no im raising the arm mounts benn as they sit extremely low and by raising them it means my bottom arms should sit flat again instead of pointing up.
im liking the plans here burgo
surely a set of tubular pilbeam style rose jointed arms isnt beyond your skills? :d
should be good to watch :)
just get some elise wishbones lol
edit....
just get an elise and put the saloon body on it

Sounds like some proper fabs gonna happen.
well after measuring here and there and getting it right in my head i then built up the courage to attack my car with the grinder lol
cutting the original mount point out neatly was awkward as fook but got there and got the new one in and positioned, i then decided it would be best to use some box sectionto add strength into it, it was at this point i ran out of gas :mad:

3. im raising them like count did to give me some suspension travel lol
4. there is actually some rot in and around them but thats all chopped out now.
potential 5. i may look at moving them in a little aswell to give me more shock - tyre clearence, need to look at that better though.
will raising them up not cause problems with your shafts sitting to high ???
just a though
good progress :)
raising the bottom arm mounting points makes no difference to driveshaft angle, what it does mean is that my bottom arms will be sitting back level instead of pointing up lol
come on browney! I know its late but ffs! lol
i was thinking now you have moved the bottom arm up you have move your distance of travel 50 mm (or what ever it is) further up so when hitting a bump you shaft will be a it maxium length before it should be maybe result in pulling it from the boxQuote:

ah i think i get what your getting at now, you mean because the arms were pointing up originally when i hit a bump because of the way the arms move in an ark it would keep the shaft length the same? where as now it has to go from pointing down to straight to up it will effectively lengthen the shaft?
if thats what your getting at i see what you mean and its not something i had actually concidered, if i do get problems with that then i think im going to make adjustable arms anyway so i can just wind them in a little
thats exactly what i meant lol
you could do that or just put a new grove in your shaft and move the cv out a bit :)
hmmmm good thinking. well no knowing until its all built back up again but at least i know to check it now some +rep
cheers bud
go back to your posh ****ing rent boy :pQuote:

any updates luke??
no mate not yet, there will have to be some progress in a couple of months to allow me to move it lol
Update! Or will I get banned for bumping an old thread ;)
agreed its been a couple of months now lol
i really havnt done much as its been to cold lol
Don't wish to be mean but there really is an easier route to parallel lower arms than butchering the body. couple of bit's of ally would have done.
its not done to get the arms parallel, its done to get the car lower. as can be seen here the chassis legs and bottom arms are to lowQuote:
