So I have been playing with the idea of adding a couple more tubes to the back of the Anklebiter. If you were to replace the back half of a 914 with tubes where would you put them? Here is a rendering of the original cage (red), drivetrain (Grey), and points that need to be tied in (green).
What would you do? Attached image(s) |

The car is going to be too nice to have a crappy "race car" subframe ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Andy |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Andy I am willing to make a nice interior but I think an actual trunk that can hold things is entirely too practical for this project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I want this thing to be as close to a street legal race car as is possible. And never fear, I assure you it will be done right and not look crappy. |
