Sorry about the OT
Just started 2 new race car projects for next season.
We are building 2 Locost cars.
Need to find 2 Yamaha R1 or Hayabusa engines.
Hopefully in 2007 we will be racing with 914, bug and two locosts.

cool!
did you buy the frame piece already cut, or did you cut them yourself?

We just bought 66meter of 25*25 rhs tube.
Henkka cut all the tubes to correct lenght.

"Forbidden -- Error 403"

--DD

Strange
Here:

Picture of both

OT continues
Just painted the other locost. All carbon and gf parts are also ready, still waiting shocks, springs and steering rack from england.

We have 3 Yamaha R1 engines and all other mechanical parts so these should be ready in easter.
As you can see, i painted it with my 914s left over paint. Other car will be yellow.









Mika

That is one of the coolest posters I've ever seen!

If you have any more pictures I'm sure evryone would like to see more. I know I would

Thanks, i'll take better shots and post them here.
We will make a new one with current colours later this winter.

Mika

ps. this is our test print, it's about 2m*2m

Are you building them to the "book" size and design??

I'm in the design stages of one as well once the Volvo is done, I like the +442 (cabin 4 inches longer and 4" wider and frame 2" taller for those that don't follow these builds )

I already have a complete Fiat 124 drivetrain lined up if I decide to go ahead and build one....I know it is more work, but if I do build one, I'll be going with 1.5" DOM tubing..currently it's almost $4 a foot and almost 100 feet is needed if I added up the bill of materials correctly

These frames are built to "book" size and design.
We are using Lada rear axle, Volvo 240 drive shaft's, ford and volvo brakes.
It's been really fun to built these cars.

Mueller, whats that thing in our avatar?

Mika

Mueller can tell you for sure, but it looks like the rear of an Ariel Atom.

Jim

Edit: actually I just went to the Ariel site, and it is not an Atom....Hmmm

Soon i will be back on 914's :-)

The car looks cool and so do the girls, but I liked the VW van most of all.

Must be something wrong with the server where you have the pic's, the letters

in the words were all jumbled up...couldn't read a thing.

Wow . . . very nice

What did you end up choosing for engines? And do you have any pictures with the bodies off? That Locost looks great

Thanks guys
We have Yamaha R1 engines in these.
That bus is one of the fastest busses in Europe.
There is lot of pictures in archives also without panels.
My other project is also getting closer to be back on street.
It's my 1991 Multivan which is getting WRX Sti engine. Engine is allready in but i still need to make rear crosbar mount and connect all the wires, shoud be finished next weekend.

Here's one picture

What is this upright/spindle from?

can't see that picture but front spindles are from Ford Taunus.

More ot.
Vanagon is now ready (waiting for brake update)
It feels really nice, goes over 200km/h and 1/4mile in heavy wind 15.33s and 144km/h. Of course we allready tested it also in track but it was way too soft for that.
