Finished the lower brackets for the Coilovers.



Have changed my Cad a little. Moved the bracket 50mm to the center of the car, to gain 61.5° angle on the coil at rideheight, and 66.0° angle at full bump.

This is what it looked lite before the change.

Nice.

If the car is finished (and driving), then I will try to take vacation and drive to you to see the car.

Like the updates Tegheim.

Correct me if Im wrong, but from your CAD drawings it doesnt look as though your control arms allow adequate camber gain at full bump..

Today I got the spindle-surface straightend.
To be sure that the caliper and disc are in level.
And also, to get a fine surface to attach to.

When I bump 90mm at the hub, the camber gain is 2.67°.
In the CAD as you see it, I have 0° camber in rideheight.
I will start within between 0 to -3° camber. But it's easier to draw with zero.

Hope I answered you question right?

I did some stabilizer bar knifes a while ago.


I am also satified with the IFS now. This will give me som adjustments and will be good at both road and hopefully track.





Today I worked a little in the CNC.

Turned out pretty good.

Lol you made a whole part on the cnc, isn't it easier that you weld pieces together or use a U-profile?

I was thinking the very same thing. But I have an appreciation for the disease that you are suffering from. Lunatic attention to detail.

When do we see you CNC some new fenders for the body?
