Some tuning options for racers and runners

[MCKNBRD]

Fred, sounds like we need to talk...I need to bounce some more ideas off you and mk-zero and see where it goes.

Of course, I'd need time to do that...

Borrowed a Stealth Cap from Joey, this one is ready to have made

[alien3t]

Nice.
thanks Joey for dropping that off.

So now have the spacers and cap for your stealth case, so now the plate will fit both sides. (liking the 4wd option also. )

I've redone the McAllister lowering kit.

Nice work Fred

On another note, damn is Shapeways slow these days

[DaveM]

Hi,

There are two parts missing from the McAllister kit, the risers to run a sway bar.

Dave.

[fredswain]

Yup. Forgot about them since I don't use them. I'll add them tomorrow.

Shapeways is averaging 3-4 weeks for me right now.

Edit: I just got an email from Shapeways stating that one of my orders is getting pushed back at least a week.

Dave.

[fredswain]

It should all be there now.

[DaveM]

Very

Still a little work to do on the CAD model, but here's a Stealth case that uses 6-gear case mounting. So you could add a Stealth transmission to a 6-gear car without having to drill holes in it.

[DaveM]

o.k, now that is just too clever

Cheers, Dave.

That was a brilliant idea. A modification that you could do is to lower the brace holes on top a little bit so it could be at the same height as the brace holes on the bulkhead.

A 4 gear version for the mid motor conversions would also be cool.

[mk-Zero]

Thanks Fred. Yeah, I'm planning on a 4 gear version that will use probably the bulkhead holes and the forward two 6 gear mount holes, and a bulkhead that will use the rear two 6 gear mount holes. The complete 4 gear mid motor conversion will bolt right in. I plan to do the same for a 3 gear mid motor trans.
