Check my project thread
I have looked over and over the car, I don't think it's that bad. Definitely cheaper I reckon.
Stevie, I've been thinking a lot about how to do this, so I may end up using front Puma hubs. I can always change it at a later date - I just want the geometry to be right. After getting the engine in the right place and as low as possible, this will be the difference between it driving and corning like dog shite or being pretty darn good. I need to make it adjustable everywhere so I can take it to someone who knows the maths and science behind chassis dynamics, then they can get it set up right. That way I shouldn't end up in a hedge on the first corner!
Failing the Puma hub route, I think it might be a custom job.
Thanks for all the input.
