Long time no talk.
FINALLY, I have the engine mounted in the race coupe. Mounts are rather rough looking but strong as. All the bolt holes line up like a dream. I still have to make gearbox mount hopefully tomorrow.
I mounted the motor about 25mm over to the passengers side to try give me more space on the drivers side. You will see why in the pics…
Oh hay steering shaft. This is why I move the motor over a bit… Exhaust will be fun.
Also, for the other car – started playing with suspension control. Basic as at the moment. LED is simulating one valve so will eventually have 8 LEDS and 6 potentiometers at least (4 height senders, a height adjust and a speed adjust), maybe some switches too for “speed bump mode” and “Wof / friends driving = only-let-them-go-as-low-as-cert-height” etc
Since ur getting tech geek on it you should really have it self levelling at all times and very fast flowing valves ( so no swaybars)
Similar to what the hydraulic soarers had
Yeah I will be looking into this. I have a 6 axis gyroscope and accelerometer that I will play with for G force in corners. Also I will see if it works with just the leveling. The only problem is that the compressor will have to be running all the time (and since Ill be using a converted aircon pump) – it’s something I don’t really want to do. Will be a cool exercise though!
