Re: Fostek's R&D department

Quick update from today:

4 - link bars for the rear end. These are made from thin-wall 4130 chromoly tube, tig welded, stress relieved and quenched/tempered. The result is a bar that's way lighter than a typical CDS bar, but way stronger. I haven't started on the watts bars yet as I haven't decided on the final spec/size/length, but sufice to say they'll be a lot lighter duty than the 4-link bars, under way less load (and shorter)





Many thanks to Mark Flintec for sorting the welding - you really have to know your stuff when welding this stuff (I wouldn't attempt it myself) and I can't fault his work.

There's a prize if you can guess what these are: (Mark's not allowed to play)



NELLY - hoses are from Think Auto.

All I'm saying is I LOVE this car

If I don't get to drive it I'm going to have a proper stampy feet tantrum!!!

I feel I should know what those pieces are on the Mill but I'm not sure so I'll guess at Joystick mount???

Really cool build. I`m looking forward too see your ideas about weight saving is I need to save another 30 kg in my racecar to get it down to the 1.3 class weight.

I've banned anyone from touching it unless they've got clean hands!

Manifold looks great but it is a rally car though, right?
