Greetings Russell, Your manifold rework is inspired. There are some other creative intake manifold building suggestions & ideas shown on the Simple Digital...
Neat, but what about steering down tube? Alternator ? Will they be in way ? This is what I did :- http://www.domsat.co.uk/pages/manifold.htm Later I realised I...
Hi all, could someone tell me why the Tiger Avon (locost) chassis first 400mm on the bottom rail is raised at the front and therefore make the bottom and top...
Hi all. Has anyone seen or know where I can get plans/blueprints/ drawings of the mini shock mod to make my own coilovers. I have heard of people doing it but...
... I'm not familiar with the Tiger chassis, but perhaps it is for anti-dive geometry? - Peter Ogden http://www.locost7.info -- No virus found in this outgoing...
The opposite I think, pro dive maybe :)? MGBs and I think other MGs do this, the entire front cross member sits tilted down and back to the rear. This gives...
I believe the angle there is supposed to help eliminate front end plunge under hard braking. Not real sure though. Tiger sent out a correction to their plans...
Thanks for replies, would it matter then if the front chassis area was flat/square and not raised up and therefore having the wishbones level?? hoping for an...

Sigh... unfortunately, I'm on the wrong side of the Pond. Otherwise I'd be looking you up. I'm afraid getting it shipped here would be a bit pricy. Thanks! ...
I'm still looking at shipping around 350 pounds, right? What kind of shape is the motor in? Tim ... Special which I will probably never use. Any interest?...
I can get a pretty good deal for some 16mm rod ends to use in the trailing arms and maybe for an adjustable top a-arm. How long rod ends last vs bushes? ...
Gonzalo: Rod ends have a short life compared to bushes. When I was involved in racing, rod ends were inspected every race. Many drivers replaced them all...

Hello Everyone, I'm new around here, and as you probably guessed from the header I'm in the UK. I've always wanted to build my own kit car, but the cost was...
