my god id love to have the money to do this kinda thing..
top work to all involved its crazy good quality

[mick-skyline]

some quality work there robbie and john, can you tell us more about the steering setup you mentioned earlier in the thread??

also are you going to be using TDP arms etc in it like you were talking about fabricating up a while back for customer cars??

[robbie@tdp.ie]

Really like the thinking with the engine mounts. Saves a lot of messing with modifying the sump.
Looking forward to seeing the suspension design on the front. Are ye going double wishbone or what's the plan?

We will be using std S15 hubs with roll center adjusters and custom bottom wishbone with compression strut. This way if the front gets a tip the car can still have perfect suspension geometry as the tension rods hang out the front where the chassis is very week.

some quality work there robbie and john, can you tell us more about the steering setup you mentioned earlier in the thread??

The steering is not fully designed as yet so I cant say much more till I finish the cad model. Just in case i get it wrong.

I can say the design will feature the rack in front of the engine and a pair of levers that increase the lock while minimizing ackerman angel.

We need to get the engine back in this week to try this out. I will post more photos as we go along form here. They might not be very regular as some things are easy other take time.


also are you going to be using TDP arms etc in it like you were talking about fabricating up a while back for customer cars??

Yes the car will have all TDP.ie suspension arms. Available for sale very soon.

May be FD will copy us instead.

When we were at the Red Bull World drifting with the S14.5 of James Deane with the RB26 with single turbo and MoTeC ECU and Dash the US teams were shocked at the level we were at. Expecting us to be bring a knife to a gun fight. We brought a missile instead.
