Ha haaa...
 
IRS 3
Did it pretty much cos it was already designed for the front, and i wanted the same choice of shock mounting positions to play around with different
wheelrates (without changing springs) on the rear.

Liam - it was reading through your post the other day that got me thinking about doing something the same but different to all the other sevens
around.

There's an idea - using Bike shocks! Depends if two bike shocks are heavier than two small car shocks, but remote adjustment and the chance of
sticking Ohlins items on (very much Hicost!) appeals a lot!

lots of people use yamaha bike shocks - i have 3 in the garage. They are no lighter than normal ones, but they are adjustable and cheap.

See - I wasn't going to post anything about my idea because then I could sit and think it's original, not find out it's been done in
a dozen ways.
Right - Plan B. It'll be another Indy but painted pink with yellow dots and blue racing stripes. Bet no-ones done that before!

Doh! I was thinking of doing the same too! Maybe not so original anymore but worth investigating! On our formula student car we used fox racing shocks
off a mountain bike...not ideal for something that weighs 400-500 Kgs but perfect for an R6 powered single seater weighing 204Kg!
