It was a bad stage for the Foci, Nick Allen flipped down a hill, and the black focus hit a tree and needed sweep's assistance before he was able to continue and then proceeded to roll his car 3 times a few miles down the road.

The Guys have there heads up about the wreck and love the way the car feels.

If anyone is thinking about doing this of having something similar now would be the
time to contact me and or John. Wile its all fresh in our minds.

I would have liked to make the forward rear link longer but theres a mount right
behind it but its still possible I could get 4 more inches.

I'd be thrilled to see something similar developed for honduhs - the catch being that I likely wouldn't be able to actually _BUY_ one for a year or so.

with that in mind, I'd definitely be willing to contribute (now) to a 'get jvl a honda shell' fund if it would mean I'd be able to buy something like this down the road.

or perhaps we can convince someone in the NW who already has a honda to let john borrow it for a bit...

Look we managed to build i little core group here now with a good collection of talenst, and we can do some good solid strong clubbie parts, but you guys all have to think that the only way I can do things and keep stuff somewhat affordable is by making bigger production runs that 20 at a time...

That's the minimum number I can do anything and end up with a GOOD price for YOUSE guys and pay my bills and make some money--which I have to do.

20.

We can sometimes do some things less but then the per-unit cost goes up dramatically.

Now for the Honja stuff, the key to happiness is PLANNING. PHOTOS of Stock stuff, photos of stock stuff with gravel wheels and tires.

I have to se stuff in order to get ideas.
Like that Fuck-us stuff, serious, the moment I saw it I though "UGH!
That'll last maybe 1 stage" And I saw in a vision, like Paul on the road to Damascus, up in the heavens essentially what I sketched for William and what we did.

Now that we did the first we now see why they did some of the things they did, what WE COULD do to make things MUCH stronger and where on the sub-frame that things seriously are inadequate.

Having TIME to look at Hondas would let us do things better right off the bat.

So Aaron you have to like start a thread, post piccies of the mopst basic model Honda---they're all the same to me, but I know there's all sorts of detail difference, post piccies of yours and what the fawkers are called and also YOU get hold of the other Honda pervs and drag them here so they can see what's up and contribute...

That's your assignment.
School me on the 90s things, post piccies and we can do it..


But I stress: Like all good human achievements, there is always lots of co-operation and sharing of work load and utilisation of talents/skills where they best fit. With cooperation, good stuff can be made. With just one, nothing will happen. This is true in "real life' and it's true in hobby pass-times.

(see if we could embed videos I could embed a rousing vid with the Alexandrov led Red Army Choir maybe something like this wonderful piece i have going now:




Gaddam it's Gene at 1.20!!!

or this one called "let's go!" or В путь




Or this version:

convert to McPhersons with other honda parts the drop also gets distorted with the short upper arms.
or moving the pivot forward with custom lower arms and run a j arm up top like long
travel baja trucks. then you could run cheap custom valved 13" coil overs and 2.5
springs in front of the cv shaft

I WANT TO DO THIS FOR SOME ONE!!!!

I can do it for a good price for one off parts that could be made for a kit.
