Ya know Lucky, I'd bet that a lot of people would like to see a PVC chassis, I know that I have taken several pictures of it as I have been going along, but everytime I try to post them, it keeps locking up my computer. Guess that I made them too big.
Small update on things, started tearing down the 2nd Ninja 250 motor that I have, found out a few things about it, and after talking to Eric on here, think I have a good idea of what I need to get and what I need to do to it. Planning on building one engine to "KILL" standards (and yes, I'll bring my own kitty litter) and keeping one stock. Going to put the stock engine in the Lakester first to get used to the car and figure out how to drive it, and to figure out how well my plans work. Then after running the car for a while, I'll install the "KILL" motor, and really go out and attack the record.
Things have been going slow on putting the actual chassis together, cut a bunch of tubing up, and went to start tacking it together, and of course, Murphy came up and bit me on the hindquarters. Seems my little MIG welder that I have had for years finally decided that it didn't want to work anymore, so now I'm taking donations to get a new (well, new to me) welder.
I do have a few questions though, I have been playing around with ideas for the front suspension, and I think that I am going to use a straight front axle, a couple of bellcranks, and a set of coil overs laid down, but what I am wondering is, How do you figure out the angles and lengths needed on the bellcrank to get about 1 1/2" to 2" of movement and still work with the coil overs? Got the rear suspension figured out pretty good, going to build a short swingarm and use a set of coil overs to dampen everything out. Any suggestions?
