Talking of handling Mark, how are the fabricated front uprights coming along or has it ground to a halt?

Well as my posts regarding a way to sort the handling were shot down in flames it was decided to keep the fabbed uprights for something else. Besides the Vodou Mx5 design sorts the handling issues at the same time as sorting out a worthwhile donor car for the Roadster.

Some thing else? Would this some thing else be for fast road or track use if it's set up for handling in mind? Spill the beans or the pussy gets it!

They should all handle or why bother in the first place. Dropped two designs even though one was all but finished because it has very limited use due to regulations. The other was very much in danger of being boring and too much like something else available so it's time to be barking mad and make marmite cars.

Yep.



voucht - Thanks for your perspective, MX5's are really common here, both roadworthy and not. The unroadworthy ones make the current trenche of donors the roadworthy ones soon won't be .

That is the beauty of this scene; there are a lot of people doing a lot of innovating meaning that the design will never stagnate. With our design we have tried to iron out the handling issues as well as lightening the chassis by a fair bit whilst adding nice touches like closing the ends of sections - innovation.

Perhaps like the discussion earlier suggested, BMW might be a good option for you Continentals
