Once you get to bigger frame changes though you should just buy a Largo and use this one for extensive practice...
This will end up being a "community car". I have a son and 2 son-in-laws that like to drive, also my daughters and wife like to dabble at autocrossing, although they only do it occasionally, so the goal is to build this and then begin on my middie.
I'm really quite surprised at some of the, what I call, poor engineering choices I see in several parts of the frame.
BUT since they build a large number of these I wonder if they really are as bad as I'm perceiving them?
BUT it's my head on the line here so I'm going to make some changes. I'll post some pics of the things I'm talking about later today.
So far Brunton has not gotten back to me on several questions I have about taking over this build, but it's still not quite lunch time where they are.
I am really hoping they have some sort of suspension data base to show the results of each adjustment they've given the builder. I'd sure like to know the base line and where to begin with the adjustments plus what effects each adjustment makes without having to resort to VSUP or some other program. You'd think they'd have experimented at each setting and have a positive effect or else they wouldn't keep building them with these adjustments. I don't know maybe I'm asking too much of a company, but that's how I'd do it.
I'm still cleaning and not really working on the chassis yet, but I want to get whatever build data I can from them before I go to cutting.
They also don't seem to have a forum for members or an easy way for them to communicate with customers. The web says one is coming, but it ain't here as of this moment.
