andy o - 22/1/07 at 06:33 PM

Can't help with the body but welcome to the site. Where abouts in Cambridge are you? there are a few builders in the area who meet up occasionaly

Andy

Ive got a phoenix rear bodywork and two side pods that need a bit of work and a new home. You can buy a bonnet from Stuart Taylor or Cyana Sports Cars to fit these bits. I doubt it will fit a standard Locost chassie as the phoenix fury and striker are smaller in length. They should be the same width as the Locost Phoenix and co are all able to use Escort axles and steering racks.

very tight budget,hence book chassis.
i live in linton

Fury/Phoenix/Striker etc all smaller than a locost - so no.

Also the same as what zilspeed said!

Also- Fisher are being sold at the moment.... In fact, they might just be moving to the Fenland near you.... all depends upon finalised deals so its top secret

Fury is IIRC based upon the Striker chassis which I can confirm is bloody small (can't even sit in the passenger seat of my bro's green froggy Kwak Striker with an empty footwell let alone with the pedals in the way)... Fury bodywork on a locost chassis seems a strange way to go about things- I'd stick with the Fury chassis!!!

Just down the road in Great Shelford.

Fury chassis is a bit different its the Phoenix that is essentially a striker chassis. All three actually have significantly shorter footwells on the passenger side as Jeremy Phillips wanted to get the engine as far back as possible and over to the LHS.

The Stylus also shares this chassis, though it has got some modifications through the years, originally it was also a striker chassis.

AFAIK the Stylus chassis is a different design to the Striker (though it might share dimensions). I remember this being commented on a lot at the launch.

Just to continue the Cambridge get togethers theme... There is also the cam7 email list on www.se7ens.net. We tend to meet every Thursday evening in the Railway tavern in Great Shelford.

If anybody comes along it should be clear who we are...

Same pic appears on http://www.specialistsportscars.com/images/galleryphotos/image2/chass is.jpg

but from that angle it does appear to bear an uncanny resemblence to my 1996 Fury chassis....
