As the forum settles down for it's winter snooze I thought I would post a couple of pictures of my road / development car.
As most will know I started playing with a Audi gearbox in the search for more useable gears when using a BMW engine. At 70 MPH even with a high diff in a 2CV box the engine is revving to hard to hard for long leg mileage in wear and economy.
The problem with a Audi box is it has to go over the the steering rack cross member which leaves you with driveshafts at a steep angle reasonable on a race car with low ground clearance but not good on a road car.
The voices spoke to me and said do away with the tube and front arms to resolve the drive shaft problem and do away with outboard brake problem. out board brakes in a road height car don't work, when you put the brakes on the front rises alarmingly again to do with the difference between road car height.
I know it's not 2CV wrong blah blah but the voices .......
