Fantastic! Your next project will have to be a road going version :) Although a rear spoiler that fits under parking barriers might be needed :P

do you mean the wing or the front splitter?

the wing is manufactured by a friend who is a aerodynamic engineer and can be purchased here : http://rejsa.nu/artikel.php?t=7292
partly in english, but mostly in swedish :D

the front is handmade by me and my teammate and is one of a kind ;)

it´s alot easier to upload pics on that site.
i can upload all my pics at once and not like here, one at the time then wait for 30sec.
and i´m a moderator there, so it´s like my second "home" :D

For batches of pictures its easier to upload them onto a webserver and link them into forums using the [img] tag.

It also saves bandwidth for the server and puts the load onto your ISP server (or similar) which is more then capable to handle at high speed.

i´m not into computer at all and really isn´t even interested of the technical mumbojumbo :D .
what do a websever do and what the heck is a isp.

i think i´ll stick to carelectronics and the mechanical parts :D :D

Sorry Dude! Did not mean to raise the demand for more pictures on this forum... Focus on the work on the speedster instead of posting pictures here... Ofcourse the pictures will allways be welcome but hopefully I speak for all of us when I say that we really want you to finish the work on your race speedster instead of spending too much time in front of your computer. :D keep up the good work! thumbsup

Anders, talking about the light suspension kit you made, how did you sort the camber setting? still retained the 1mm plates or adopted a "screw-in-out" ball-joint on the triangle? (I hope I made myself clear... :rolleyes: )

i used a balljoint from a bmw e30 (they are similar with the std-ones, but at a low cost (9€/piece) and higher quality) and retained the original plate-type settings

the next step is to make a version with Spherical bearings in that end too.
that is on next winter "to do"-list

I know you were originally hoping for the start of the season, but thats long gone now :(

Are you waiting until next year or are you going to enter it in the later stages?

everything seems to go in the wrong way for me at the moment :(

people who promised to help don´t.

things missing because companys don´t hold there promises.

employees that don´t do as they are told to.

things don´t work as planned and has to be re-engineered and produced.

a family that think i should go to holidays with them as i promised ;) because the car should be ready by now. ( i will take my vacations as planned and try to get some inspiration to proceed with the building.)

and on and on and on

i´m so incredible happy at the mo :D :D :D i have had a good vacation with my wife and kids thumbsup and i got a email from my good friend at KTH who has made the rough map today and spent almost 8h on my car in the rototest-machine. this configuration is with a std-engine except my own developed exhaust and intake. read it and weap B) B) notice that this is wheelpower and nothing else and it´s 99.9% correct.
