Thanks! I think that and the 3rd spring setup is what makes it different from other sports racers.

Also looking to build a tube chassis car
Hey Guys,
I'm looking for some good books, or online articles on how to build a proper tube chassis and designing the suspension properly. I know there are also programs for the suspension part if anyone has dealt with any and would like to say which ones they used and if they were worth it or not let me know.
Basically what I would like to do is build a similar car to the ariel atom but with a rotary engine in the back. I've been meaning to do something like this ever since the atom came out, just haven't had much time to dedicate to it. This build will most likely not take place till atleast 3-4 years from now, but would like to get started on the design and what not.
thanks in advance.

Hi there, I am also looking to build a small tube chassis unit, but think of a modern-day Le Mans car styled unit, 2 seater with a 1.6L mechanical diesel out of a vw, with a moderate-boost turbo and sweet suspension. Goal is to have something super cool and efficient to see how far I could get on 100 L of diesel haha!
