Today I did a mockup to see that the coilover-lenght could ba about right, and that the angles looks good in the car.
I also got som used rear tires, also to mockup and make sure the fit later.
225/45-17" Front
255/40-17" Rear

I recieved a rod yesterday, Delrin, for bushings. My wife is happy with me as I am Coming to these using a stainless steel sleeve model 16x2mm.



This is what it would look like, as common.


Then today I got to work hard because I do not have access to laser-cutter. Began to mill as deep as I dared, without them to come off, and the plate begins to vibrate and break the cutter. Then there has been much handwork! Good for me, to practice a bit. Continued on these!

Came up with an new idea about the Camber-adjustment. Simple to adjust with only one tool, and no need for deassembly anything around it.



4pc Ø30mm steel.
Did not have the possibility to use the CNC-lathe tonight, so it has been some therapy in the manual lathe.
M20x1.5 thread for streanght and good adjustments.

Uhu, why don't you just cut the arms in half and rejoin them with adjustable windings?
This looks complicated...
Nevertheless, it's up to the task!
Nice work though!

Because you cant adjust two sides of a triangle that has a fixed angle...

I found a interesting document on my pc and putted it on my website, its about charged rotary engines. Document is by James W. Walker and Robert E. Mount Rotary Engine Division John Deere Technologies Int'l Inc. Woodridge, N.J.

Document is from 1986 and holds some design keys with multi fuel rotary engines (more then only methanol).

You can download it here ( http://www.mazda-club.be/?area=downl...10cd0bbc30fc88 ) or if you get error ( Mazda-Club.be :: Downloads click on rota_text_1986_A4.pdf)

If I may believe the figures on diesel: 3600rpm 1500Nm and 560hp (1700Nm on 2400rpm) :shock:
