Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
was driving down a country road, round a bend to be faced by a wall/gate/dead end...slammed on and locked up, slid 60-70ft on this crappy tarmac and just stopped on a bit of grass, snapped the bolt off holding the bumper on....lol
Mine is the Xeros, snick01 is the Tungy....got these few pics yesterday. Difference in front track width is noticable even more so with them side-by-side!
Went again this year after going last year and having a good day...weather was worse this year but was still some good cars in attendance!
Few of my favourites below, took quite alot, but handheld @ 400mm is kinda tricky to get used to without any support :boring...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Nah not yet, pointless for the gains though really, its wafer thin as it is...
Doors will be cut out shortly, save some weight with the inner door bars etc...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Few more pics of the cage, painted satin black today. Dosent look bad, it will do until the whole interior is resprayed over winter :)
One more bar to go in across the bulkhead/behind the clocks too. Door bars were not painted as they have...
Mine is acctually a legit copy, lent the disks from uni and installed it ;)
mac has more options available, ie final cut express is very easy to use and get into
flol, i know who that is, went to college with the guy a few years ago. from warrington, currently living/working in swindon....oh dear oh dear oh dear, sad to see its lost the screw on exhaust tip though :(
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
lol.
cage is partially painted satin black in areas where you cant reach, rest of it will be going the same over the next few days :)
I use vegas all the time with m2ts, does it fine!
As does adobe premiere, but you have to use its 'log and transfer' tool to get them to work in the program (basicaly converts them to .mov for you)
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
cage is now fully in (well apart from bulkhead bar, coming soon, just needs changing slightly).....found someone literally 1/4 mile away from me who is a friend of a friend, certainly knows how to weld :)
My own version of the doorbar, slightly lower...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
As far as I can work it out (not sure how it works out), but a valver box should give quicker accelleration?
Does anyone know how the ratios effect it?
