Thread: Locost....

    This project will not move anywhere without getting the parts 1st. I've drawn several chassis concepts for front and rear engined layouts. Guess I'm gonna just use it for marketing and try to get some sponsors...

    I'm thinking of some tuning though ...
    That would be polishing a turd...

    About the laws to tell you the truth, kit cars must be subjected to extensive testing for it's road worthiness. I'd like to have a trailer but will need to develop another project to make power assisted trailer for my 998cc Daihatsu Sirion .

    Undulating Dromodary

    If I were to build a car like this in Egypt, I would build a classic RWD clubman type car using a BMW 3 series or Mercedes C class as a donor.
    These cars are pretty common in Egypt and are regularly wrecked, so easy to find the bits in a junkyard!

    Never seen these, looks like you could build a tasty 'fakerham' with a vanos straight 6. would certainly be interesting and fun.

    Nope. Our factory is still far from finished, plus some other personal and financial issues that keeps me from starting.

    Btw, I'm glad that you reminded me.

    Where I stopped on April this year. Will have a complete redesign and integrate roll hoops.

    Some of the input I did in this regard.

    When I was designing my Locost, I tried to taper the rear portion of the cockpit like you are doing. After doing the mock-up I abandoned the idea due to the available space and my desire to stick to the traditional look of the Seven.

    If you were to use two trailing links per side, a reversed A-arm on the bottom, and a lateral link on the top, I think you can take advantage of the Seven's shape without having to adapt a bunch of tubes to fit an IRS.

    If I ever completely redo the rear suspension, this is the route I'm going.
