Saxo track car
 

In tech (Collage) we are building a track car and the car we have is a 1.1 saxo

pictures and videos to

i will update with pictures on monday when im back in



work done:
stripped out (one seat left in it)
straight custom made exhaust
De-wipered
lowered 6 notches on the torsion bar

heres a video of the exhaust that was made for it

lowered

lowering on notches is a concern already....

And why have you bothered staying with 3 stud? Light weight track wheels will be soooooo hard to find!

its all we have at the minute

fair enough :y:

sitting on the bumpstops = shit handeling

Aswell as notches causing more problems than good remove the whole torsion bar and measure the hub height to lower it

I know your starting out and eager to crack on but research things before diving in and youll find the end result a lot better

hopefully by the end of the build it will look quite nice

cant beat the sound out of it :P

i was hoping to use Sax-p for research in the tech (collage) itself but they have banned the site sadly :(

Research at home and note things down you want to remember lol

Lots of forums are banned in collages now but its normally for a good reason

i will be honest it was me that got it banned because i clicked on a thread

something to do with a teachers sexual text message to a student and well they banned it lol


i will ask the collage admin to get it unbanned cus it would be good help to us

Nice idea, but some of the things you are doing are a worry.. That car's going to have really poor handling, i only hope you don't have to take it on a track for the final exam lol

so do i lol if yous can post up what should be done and/or changed i will print it off and bring it in on monday

just another lowered picture i had on my PB account

Rear is far too low, as said before a 4 stud car would have been an advantage. Oh well enjoy the project

havent updated this in a while

Update:
Stripped out
roll cage made and painted
and alloys have been bought.

25mm spacers are being made and we are raising the rear back up again


!!!!!!!!!PICS TO FOLLOW!!!!!!!!!!

what suspension set up are you going to be running at the front?

not sure that cage will be the strongest?

those 2 long sections right to the back of the boot with no cross bar or diagonal will be pretty pointless?

They look weird point in at the top as well? I'd have tried to replicate a well known cage design, such as the SD one.

Fair play for having a crack though I guess

Never seen a cage design like that before

What made you choose to build it that way?

I would have copied a reputable cage manufacturer, unless i knew and understood the calculations needed to make one myself safely

yeah, this IMO..... What is this project for again?
