Correct.
For every 3 guys that walk in thinking it's a Mini and one guy that knows that it's a Honda N600 we have one person with a multiple personality disorder that the personalities are split between thinking it's a Mini or a Honda.

Couldn't think of a better project to take over the super-duper-badass shocks that were going to go on my own Locost.
For those who are not familiar, those are Koni 2822 four way adjustable coilovers -

We also received a box full of bushings for the car from Energy suspension

Suspension work continues!

Drool worthy indeed!
We got lucky with these being custom built for my car, the specs are so close between the two cars that we can use them as is.

Uhhh... Guess I'm not familiar... What I am is confused, and that feeling IS familiar, but I digress...

OK, 'splain it to me. FOUR way adjustable? :?:

I got up/down as in compression and rebound but the other two? Is them thangs adjustable for left and right too?

Or is is a "slow response" -vs- "fast response"?

:cheers:

There are separate adjustments for compression and rebound for low speed (driver input) and high speed (track surface, kerbs).

Very cool! Thought that might be it. Thanks for the 'splaining!

Front frame very close to done, missing shock mounts and a few other small bits, but the layout is pretty much there -

Rear suspension started sprouting control arms today!

Rear arms fabricated -

Once we're done with shock mounting tabs the rear suspension is essentially done.
We got our model to work so linear the shock literally compresses almost exactly the same distance with every inch of suspension travel.
Gotta love that :cheers:

The rear suspension on our mid-engine madness project N1000RR is now finalized geometry-wise.
Still need to add a few tabs and mounting brackets for the sway bar, but it's getting oh so close now to roller-day :cheers:

I love that cradle. Have you thought about offering that as a kit to the Mini crowd? Wouldn't be super high demand, but I know a couple of guys that would go crazy for it.
