My mate craig who some have met, cleaned my engine bay a little. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c83/swiftmini/9da2c100.jpg[/img
Here are pics of my new hubs and lca/tension rod setup that iam in the process of finishing. They wont take long.
You will see in the pics that they have the lower rosejoint on its limit, i will have to kink the lca slightly. Also thats fulldroop obviously http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c83/swiftmini/37cd6bd6.jpg[/img
The lca is made with 38mm 3mm wall cds, the rose joints are m18x1.5 super high performance.
The pin through the knuckle is made from en19t and i welded the nut on for tightening, its isnt load bearing though as the collar above it is integral to the pin. The journal that runs through the hub and rosejoint is a ground diameter and the hole through the hub is reamed so its a very good fit? Iam well pleased with it so far
I welded the new boss on the bottom of the knuckle but the extra lock ackerman reduction weld on block thing was welded at work by some dude.
Me and a good friend got to go have some fun on a welsh go kart track. Its my 6th practice day and I feel like iam starting to improve and get more confidence in my car
I qualified for the UK:OpenDriftChampionship and made it too the finals at mallory park in the uk.
Odc final
On way home
Intact frontend lol
Iam really happy because the final was actually on the 7th time i have ever drifted and iam very happy because i managed to place in 9th place overall and many of the drivers who beat me are people that i looked upto 18months ago and have many years experience.
Also thanks to you guys on here and zilvia for the inspiration tt make cool parts and try crazy shizzle
