Hi all, now back on deck after 4 weeks touring and 4 weeks grounded from a small bit of personal maintenance. So now some progress, the wheels arrived and although they are 5 spoke, they are of a similar style to McLaren, I had to go 5 spoke because my rear drives(Subaru) are 5 stud and the fronts (Maxda Mx5) are 4 stud. I have fabricated up the front suspension and will now sort out where the steering rack will fit then mount the front shocks inboard via push rods. The good thing about no plans is that it can only be right after some considerable thought. I collected the aluminium adaptor plate from the laser cutters and thankfully it fits in my friends lathe to enable taking out a 10mm by 10mm recess to hide the standard Rover ring gear on the custom flywheel to the Audi 015 trans. I am working from the front of the car back, trying to think / remember all the `good` ideas from the last car. In between times, I have fabricated various bits, the rear uprights and hub assemblies are now waiting to be assembled. I have turned up new bearing carriers to fit the Subaru tapered bearings and got the flange that carries the suspension and brake caliper laser cut, so pretty soon they will be a finished component. Summit Racing has been busy sending all sorts of stuff down including the fuel tank, I have gone for an 8 gal tank this time as the car will only be a track car. On the last motor, I ran a small mechanical water pump from a Nissan and often had control / heating issues, you just never knew what the flow was so this time I will run a Craig Davies pump and bank the extra horsepower and sit relaxed cooling the motor down back in the pits with the electric option. This build is a challenge in trying to keep the costs down because my play money is well spoken for.
