Some pics

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.

Cheers
Kev

Another practice day done and some more pics

Clutch pedal fail





















Hope you all like the pics!!

The car is going well, could do with some more power so that i can use 3rd more and produce some smoke.

Changes since the last time are:-

Even less caster, i rotated the top mount so that the adjustment is at an angle, i dialed out camber and caster and iam happpy with the way it feels.
