I think thats the most doable way after all... However, then another concern pops up, and thats the driveshaft end that connects to the bmw...
Yeah, i know - but do i really need u-joints for a 1/4 mile racer? Why not just a straight line? Obviously the u-joints are there to compensate...
Wouldnt it be possible to make a driveshaft without the u-joint ? Both rear end and trans/engine will be rigid mount
Im building a somewhat odd race car in my humble garage, with a Topolino body........ on a superlow budget. I found a few old pics of cars that...
Thanks iceteacharlie! Theres a place just a few miles from here called Thorshov ;) A couple of lengths for the frame is in place at my friends...
Spring over, spring behind, coilovers.... Havent decided yet. Not 100% set yet, but around 96-100". Starting on the frame next week.
Fiat topolino :) Aha, tanks a lot! That can work
Im working on a cheap ass build.. , use what i have..or parts i get for free (or almost free). I want to decide on front suspension before i weld...
Next week im putting the frame rails on the jig. Meanwhile im trying to figure out what direction to take with this (Anglia axle) . [ATTACH]
Thx guys. I checked my local rules, but they are not very clear. And it seems like the opposite of yours...(but i suspect something is lost in...
[IMG] I`ve read this article a few times: http://cacklefest.com/Outcast.shtml And if i understand correct, it is set up with no suspension in...
Good looking car pnevells! Got any pictures of your front suspension setup? Thats the next thing i need to decide on.
[ATTACH] Testing..
:D
Found a nice set of 15x8" Minilite wheels :) With these, and the Volvo axle, the max width of the rear wheels should be around 60" - not that...
[ATTACH] Trying to figure out what would be the best width of the rear. I like the rear to be narrow, but still a little bit limited due to the...
I've planned to solid mount, but i dont think i understand exactly what you are decribing (my bad english) Picked up some used slicks today for...
Yes, it has been customized before, i dont know the story though... Worked on the rear axle last night, stripping of stock brackets, brakes etc....
Old sparks.. , sounds like the route im going. Picked up an Volvo 240 rear axle today for free, should hold quite a lot of hp, and parts are...
Im not going to shortcut, but i dont justify the need for a 6.0 chassis to run above 10's..
:eek: I cant afford the real deal. It will be more like a bracket car with a sbc or something else cheap that comes my way. A 10-11sec car, just...
Just agreed to buy this project. Its an 50s Topolino with a 30s front. A "half" frame, Anglia front end, etc....I will build a cheap racer out of...
I forgot about this "project" due to some other priorities... but back in business i made a mockup yesterday. What i basically did was to turn...
Those aluminum tubes i have are the exact same o.d as the Hilborns, but i noticed last evening that they have a thicker wall. That makes it harder...
On the recent pic, are they just duct taped in the middle? I found a website with how to make them all by hand... think i will give it a try....
Wonder if someone has made their own stacks for mechanical injection? I need a set of tall stacks for my 2 7/16 Hilborn, but cant find the money...
Hmm...im pretty sure that is Richard Blais, judging from his profile picture...and that is actually my car. Richard owned it after Joe (owned by...
Hi mopargil, I got in touch with Joe some time ago, and he had some info, but not enough to find the first Canadian owner. Great guy by the way.....
I will try go get in touch with Ken Murray :)
I have posted a few times on here over the last year to try find more history on my car, and i have found a lot, but the most interesting years is...
