simon bring beer and your always welcome, good beer fridge, always pack a swag. Westi, Ive been tring to control what i spend but i cant help myself so the build should go pretty quick, hopefully on the track end of the year for the open track days down here at winton. cant decide what tyres to go with either, 17" R spec or 18" full slicks got a few sets of both but dunno which way yet, spose it depends on how much HP i end up with.

must be bloody cold in that shed at night in albury
proper preparation prevents piss poor performance
yeah cold isnt the word for it but dont work at night anyway, too cold too drunk and the neighbors might wana come over and see what all the noise is and drink all my beer. was sposed to snow down to 600m yesterday but that never happend.

You and Buggy Brad need to get together as he is building a similar car except he's only useing a EJ22 and not having big brakes or a cage , but you would still do well to keep in contact with each other re radiator mounting and the such
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel

I am using the factory liberty radiator and fans and over flow bottle.
Mine is a 75 though so I have R & P Steering and a lot more room up front than the 76 BJ.

all right things have changed cant get the bj front end to not have bump steer and ackerman angles that work and canttune either ends to have increasing camber this has brought about a change in design thanx too a few drunk clowns post sum pics early next week.

You can... but it might be easier to use a strut car instead... and don't lower it too far

Looking good, Mac. Are you still planning to run the beam front end and just higher, or is this the start of something more hardcore?
yeah gunna get more expensive but got some great mates on board who dont mind sharing there talents goin to his work shop this morning so might get to take some pics hopefully if he lets me, very protective these race engineers.

orderd my front suspension arms yesterday, all go should be done in a week, they come with a certificate of compliance so may be able to git it registerd in vic, saying that it wasnt my aim to have a road car but would be great to do some tarmac rallies also am going to TRY to use some carbon EVA sandwich panel in a few spots its cheap and strong and light. Rear arm are becoming a problem still havnt found a carrier suitable, everything ive seen is to complex so if anyone has a bright idea please let me know was gong to use kombi stubs but they are very wide in the bearing area also looked at r33 300zx stuf but is very heavy let us know your thoughts, might just fab some up out of 4140.

err, I hope you're not using that design, with offset etc like that it's going to be HORRIBLE under brakes...
Pay your debts, CxxT
that is just measurements that I need to supply to set the roll centre where it should be. anti dive is also being sorted. I thought i knew a fair bit about suspension from years of pit crewing for a sportsedan team but just goes to show you never stop learning. the computer program that is being used is unreal you can view every angle rotate 3d and animate its very impresive but its really expensive a cheaper version is by bevan d young i think its called SUSPROG sounds rude doesnt it
