Hello everyone I am giving the first steps in locost, but before start to make the seven with the book by RON CHAMPION, I have a question. Intending to use RON...
Building and homologating a car in spain is a very trivial issue as no one has done it yet, specially with a locost. may people who build replicas or refurbish...
Hello, this is my first time posting. I have a very elementary knowledge of loscosts so please forgive me if the answer this questions seems obvious. Anyway I...
... There was some discussion about diesel engines (not diesel bikes) earlier and I recall that there is an adapter kit available to mate a VW engine to a...
This is intended for roldao_tiago@... because I can't send offline as I am blocked. He needs the corrections to Ron's book contained in this excellent...
SVA is only valid in the United Kingdom I'm afraid - different countries have different systems for approving self built vehicles. As a heads up to UK...
I Really hope that happens so the damn bureaucrats in spain get the idea that people can build their own car. everytime i see there's an SVA manual to follow...
Does this mean that if you took your Locost on holiday to Spain they would refuse you entry? If not, why not get the vehicle registered in the UK after SVA...
no, of course not... you can take your car wherever. the problem is registering and homologating it here as a spanish car according to spanish traffic laws. my...

I have a 1990 Miata that my daughter just modified with a telephone pole cable on the nose. The car was driven home with a radiator leak and no A/C... I am...
Greetings, All. Just wanted to spark a bit of discussion relating to the above. Some people swear that spherical bearings are the only way to go, while others...
At this time, we know that Tagging the car in Spain; is near impossible. People have suggested SVAing in GB and importing back to Spain. Does anyone know...
My personal opinion is that spherical do not have enough advantage over polybushes to make them worth the hassle/extra cost. Polybushes still require...
I used to work in the race car business,and I can remember that whilst I was at Trojan Racing we had prototype McLaren GT in the workshop based on the CanAm...
As I stated previously, I have 5500 miles of street only driving on my rod end rear suspension. The problem is that they are now very noisy. When the car goes...
The panhard rod has very little movement when compared with the wishbone ends - would it be a representative test? Thinking about this (and with little or no...
James, The reason that I mention the Panhard rod ends is because that is where I have felt and heard the noise from. I may not have found other sources yet for...
Unfortunately SVA is only valid in the UK - if you want to register it elsewhere in the EEC using a UK SVA you will be dissappointed! To register a car you...

quepasatronco, I'm retired have constructed many projects in the past, and desire to build a Locost to occupy some of my time. My Spanish is so-so, but my...
Howdy! Are we missing the point? Use what you want, the driving abilities of the majority of Locost builders are barely notice the difference among the three ...
Hi Esko, the hard polybushes don't have to comply, in that they rotate about the inner bush, not twist. The centre bush is clamped hard by the bolt through the...
James, That is my whole point, the poly bushes or any other bushings or rod ends have to comply, unless your anti roll bar is so stiff that both wheels move up...
I see what you mean. I was thinking of the front suspension, where there is only travel in one plane. I get at least 12" of very smooth movement with...
