Sorry this section is not complete yet but please find some initial but
not final info regarding spirit sports cars ‘Wasp” clubman
car.
12.5.03.
What does rolling chassis package consist of ?
One chassis, mainly made of 25mm sq. x 2.3m high tensile tubing [ quite
similar but not exactly identical to locost in book]
One set top, left and right front rocking suspension arms, [inboard spring
set up] and one set bottom left and right front suspension arms
One set of rear trailing arms left and right consisting of four arms
in total
One panard rod ready to accept adjustable rose joints
One escort rear axle casing modified to accept and connect with trailing
arms and panard rod from chassis. [on exchange basis]
whilst I haven't worked out cost to the last dollar yet I am looking
at a price around $3000 mark, definitely not less but not much more either.
Body panels :- Generic ones can be used for front and rear wings or I
can provide them. I would have to provide nose cone and bulkhead if you
wanted to go the fibreglass route my bulkheads is ally and steel but It
could be supplied in fibre glass version which would be lighter.
Chassis was built to suit the Nissan SR20 motor 2000cc. An excellent
motor, comes in two different forms normally aspirated and turbo. Mine
is normal and I've easily had the car up to 180kphr so I don't think it
really needs the turbo version but if its any help I rang the Jap car
importers the other day for a different enquiry and a turbo version could
be obtained as a front cut [ front cut gives all the wiring plus engine
etc] for around somewhere between $2500 - 3500 the figure is a bit rubbery
because I wasn't trying to pin him down to price etc at the time. The
Nissan motor is taller than the smaller Toyota, 4ag/3ag so the Toyota
engine could be fitted and of course othe 4cly engines could be fitted.
I can also offer other services such as shortening the escort steering
rack required etc etc.
It should be noted that the chassis is absolutely identical to the chassis
in the car I built and which is now licensed and running on the road,
having passed the torsion test and other licensing requirements. The chassis
for my car was also built and torsion tested without the ally outside
skin fitted, normally required to make up part of the strength requirement
for chassis.
The point of offering a chassis such as discussed is that you can be
100% certain that strength wise it will pass the dept of tpt requirements
[with 4 cyl engine fitted]. I have certificate to state that 4250nm/perdeg
was achieved on test.
Lead time ? well I have almost finished one available chassis and have
only to make the front susp arms etc so not long at all. As much back
up to help you in building as I can possibly give would be available to
you.
