I have been hanging around this sight for about a year now and figure it is about time I post some info and photos of my new streamliner build. This is my first build so go easy on me if you see anything that looks strange. I am allways open to any constructive comments. I have been working on the car for about a year now. I have designed and build every part on the car (minus wheelsandtire's of coarse) The car is set up to run as a I/GS. It has full adjustable suspension front and rear. It is powered by a mild Kawasaki ZX 10 engine. I plan on using this engine to test and get all the bugs out. I want to make sure the car goes straight and stops well before I go to a all out race engine. The car is 21 feet long, 29 inches high at the roll bar, 30 inches wide at the rear and will weigh about 1100lb with me in it. I am in the process of building the body at this time. It will be a one piece fibergass design. Again, this is my first LSC so if any of you veterans see anything I need to change, please let me know. It may save me money, time, parts or my life.
This is the car setting at ride height waiting for the body.

This the rear axle assembly ready to be assembled. I made the axle from 1.75 4130. I machined a center carrier from 7075 T-6 aluminum for the inboard brake rotors.
Here is the rear axle assembly together and ready to be installed
This is another shot of the front suspension.
