Also I see lots of places where the tubes are not tied in at nodes but rather at midpoints of other tubes. Again, big no-no. What happens when a longitudinal force is applied to that tube? It's going to bend the shit out of the one it's tied in to and the whole thing will collapse.
The engine looks nice, sure. I'll give you that.paint sucks

Not to mention the chassis stiffness that would come from it. Just because its been painted and fancied up does not mean its retarded it means the owner likes form just as much as function. And that engine is probably worth more then most cars on this forum. Before you get to the chassis/suspension work.Originally posted by CorvallisBMW View PostThat cage is NOT built right at all.

Lee's 2k2 is an example of a STRONG cage.

The funny part is that no half decent cage will have rounded bends like taht one and I've driven and helped build enough race cars to know.Pork Hunt Motorsport
