Hello all, i'm new...

right, dunno if you chaps have a 'general chat' forum so i came in here because there's the newest posts in here.. my boss has just bought a locost (i think that's what it is anyway...) the geezer who was building it was going to put a 3 litre v6 in it but is going to throw in a pinto instead now... my only concern is that being as my boss hasn't a clue, i'm going to be the one building it up from here on in...

the chap who's built it as far as here has used 2mm thick tubing... will this be a significant disadvantage weight wise or is it a popular thing to do?

personally i'm a x-flow man, but i guess the pinto will do...

we're getting it towed home next few days, when i get into it i will be posting a long list of questions i guess........

Owain.

Towing it back?

If it's already a rolling chassis it should be up and running in a fortnight. Lots of pinto engined locosts about, mines one. 2mm tubing shouldn't make much difference to the weight. The chassis part is only a small percentage of the total weight, you may be able to claw some of it back on panels, seats or wheels and tyres if you are desperate.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
