More creative, sure.  Better?  Despite his design and fab that's doubtful.  ktown may only be doing "just another" 7 clone, but it's a PROVEN chassis design that's stomped a mudhole in modern supercar performance figures.

Well the day went better then I had expected!  I did 7 runs in the Locost and nothing broke and I set a faster time then 80% of the people there.  Found a few small issues that need to be fixed, but other then that very happy.
A friend took some video's and hoping he will send them in the next few days so I can post them.

Yes Weir now I will get your shit powder coat :)

I would strongly advise putting a diagonal bar in that roll bar.

Fuel issues.  We had never driven the car more then 10 feet before I took it to the autocross.  It would bog out if I got onto it to fast.  Going to take some time to sort out all the issues with this thing.  I was still very happy with how it ran.

I drove it and mid throttle (rolling into it) it took off , full throttle it bogged.  The RRFPR was causing some issues and some vac line orientation , seems to be fine now , just need a fuel pressure gauge.

The parts on this were part of the SC kit that I got.

Ditch the crap management and get a MS.  Not my favorite setup for just any car, but the Miata is the testbed for MS1/2, and they run one of those cars very well.

Well a few weeks ago I was out lapping the car and the rear diff mount broke.  This pulled the drive shaft out of the tranny that then smashed the end off the tranny and wrapped the main wiring harness around it and wripped it in 2.  So I have installed a new tranny but looks like I am also going to need to replace the shorten drive shaft :(

Actually I have no opinion beyond pointing out that no heterosexual man would put faggoty cycle fenders on their Locost.

Because locosts get you laid, and bitching about someone's locost on the internet does not. :noel:


Lead by example and make up a MS system for him. Then tune it over the phone like we know you can.
