Have spent today starting a winter project it is a Phiranha 2 single seat buggie I will be using a Suzuki GSXR 1000 as the power plant hope to give autocross a go when completed.
It wont! have kids to watch tomorrow but they are off to Ireland for five days after christmas so the idea was to get on with this and see how far I can get on without the kids.
There can never be enough of these project threads!
Please keep the pics coming and details of the build...
Most of us can only dream about those skills/equipment/space/time etc - but pics do help!
when you say auto cross do you mean grass traking becous if so them plans will not meet the specs the roll bar has to bee widend across the top i think its somthing like 22"
we have just started a baracuda from the same company but the jeep has put it on the back burnner for a week or two
No autocross looked at autograss bid not excite me going around an oval all day. The autocross meeting i went to was a circuit laid out in a field 1 mile long they do have different specs tho.
Had great intentions to do a lot between christmas and the new year but started celebrating the new year early there are only six houses here but they all wanted to party and I got caught up in it all. Have changed the front end to double wishbone rather than what is supplied as standard you can download the mod on the edge site also picked up hubs and drive shafts from a ford sierra and will be changing the rear to a simple drive setup. I think the drawings supplied will be expensive to make.Have posted a picture of a drive that they are using in autocross involves using two 40mm pillowblock bearings and a 40mm shaft.
That drive shafts looks a bit agricultural but I do like them out put flanges , just out of interest why dint you make why dint you use laser profiled plats and make it look a hell of a lot better
good to see the plans i sent you are coming in handy, the build is looking good up to now and i will keep my eye on this topic
il be making a start on building one as soon as my bike projects are finished and sold so i got money for materials, where do you get your materials nyway as im having problems finding a supplier in dundee
Thank you for the plans but have picked up another buggie a couple of weeks ago hoping to have it ready for the end of this month but work seems to be flooding through the door at the moment.Not complaning by the way! Also just finished of a Beemer project that was going to be a quick turn around but have decided to keep it for a while.
