Doc how do you feel about no suspension after this years jolting ??

I get the feeling something along the lines of bags or a viscous system is probably closer to what we need than the classic spring and dampener system, for the reasons above, it would be nice to take out the "vibration". One side of my argument is a few responses above, we wanted simplicity, we got it . If we constructed our own suspension system and it DIDN'T work, then we'd have a can of worms.... I suspect this years ride was as much the toe in we ran..the only real nasties for the tank are when it bottoms out, when the floor hits the track, I got it airborne past the 7 mile marker and it was like being dropped on my arse from about three feet....a smart bloke called Greg Watters wrote:Doc how do you feel about no suspension after this years jolting ??
Mnnn - looks like a good buy for some cheap racing, would cost double that to build yourself. Shame we don't have a real drag track anywhere near SA.penny wrote:t 34, mick dont even think about buying this paul http://www.racingjunk.com/category/17/A ... gster.html
that's a garden ornament that one, there's a few floating around that are repro's, made to sit on the grass at shows.sammj wrote:Heres some old school tankers that I have been admiring... Not sure I would like my head outside the car though.

I am looking forward to actually DOING some work now so I have some proper pics to post.
You forgot to point out that this is actually an advantageDr Goggles wrote:There is also a good chance that between the first cut and the first run you will get fatter.........I weighed 73 kilos from 16 to 41, next thing I know I'm 84
There is no end to his cunningness, I think he has the BUGSo.... If i use a early Kombi box, meant for reduction hubs but setup without and in mid mount position, I don't need to worry about getting a box machined and i gain a taller top gear.
mnn tis a great idea - IIRC the volks rod in the first pic I posted used reduction boxes to get the extra lowering benefit from the axle offset.Dr Goggles wrote:There is no end to his cunningness, I think he has the BUGSo....

I'm pretty sure that there are a few different ratios available too.
So would you hide these within the body, or keep them out at the hubs?
