So the big question: how does it drive?

[DORIGTT]

The last caller had it all wrong...

The real question isn't how does it drive, it's how long till I get to drive it?

Excellent work! I'm sure I speak for all when I say we can't wait for the testing reports. Have you decided what the criteria for the test(s) will be?

Things like the slalom test that the magazines use as well as skidpad test and maybe the figure-8 test that one of the magazines use?

Thanks again in advance for all your hard work and I want to be in line to purchase one of the kits (if that's how you are planning to sell it) for my 1970 Karmann Ghia.

Great job!

Jason,
I've noticed that you have no caster adjustability built into your first article. Do those ball joint spindles already provide for a fixed angle. If so, At what angle?
I'm only curious because on my offroad setup is adjustable to -10 deg.

Hey DorigTT,

I really appreciate all the support you've given me. Sometimes I was sure I was just plain crazy, so at least I know there are a couple other crazy guys out there too!

Pete, the castor is fixed in the design, but it still uses the stock VW eccentrics, so there is some castor adjustability. I'll have to ask the designer what castor angle it was designed at. Castor is really only for high speed stability, so the less the better as long as it feels comfortable.

I just read this whole thread for the first time. :agree: Walt linked it in in the Volksrods.com forums. It looks like it is coming together nicely. Let us know how it works out!

Let us know how it works out!

and when we can order one ourselfs

will it be possible to lower the front with this setup like with the regular adjustable front axle (if it's in this thread somewhere then I'm sorry I missed it)
