@aaronwolk998 Год назад

There's a difference between engineers building cars and the run of the mill builder, toss in the fact that you're really using the near minimum amount of metal working tools, and things are going to move slowly forward. I wish one of my projects went slow and smooth I came out great, rather than quickly, chaoticly, and full things I would have done differently had I known.

@OliverPickard Год назад

That's it, speed gives you less time to think although sometimes it can be nice

@skyfreakwi Год назад

True enough about the small goals, or at least the getting bored and back burnering your project. I personally built a VW trike from the crappiest beetle you've ever seen. I have myself 30 days to do it out I knew it'd never get done. 23 days later and I was riding it! Handbrake only but it worked. Fully ridable by day 30. Then I let my brother ride it. Through a chain link fence... I started redoing it better, lower, more fiberglassy. But alas it got back burnered... For like 33 years... I finally came back to it and like the first time I started over and built it in 30 days. It's not on the back burner but since I got hit by a BMW it hasn't been the same. Time to start anew! And that's the fun part.

@jimf5160 Год назад

an original mini has an 80 inch wheelbase...and even with 140+hp on 165/70 x 10 tires...not too twitchy...depending on how you set the suspension. I definitely would recommend slight rear toe-in. Your dad is a wizard with the angle grinder. The bridge you reference is the Tacoma - Narrows bridge.... Clecos are the greatest invention; totally worth the money.

NGL the speed of this series is rather slow for my taste but after seeing those caps on the firewall, I absolutely get it. I friggin love pyramids, and those two pieces are gorgeous, really set the firewall off. can’t wait until this build is done and ripping!…. Additionally we get it, this chassis is gonna be so stiff; stiffness is important.

@Reman1975 Год назад

I had a MK1 MX5. It was a hoot, but one of the biggest cockups I did was fit wide arches and 16x8" wheels wrapped in 225 width Yokohama's. If you were going for it on a hot summers day, the car would stick to the road like waste paper bin chewing gum to a curious Labradors face, but if you even had to slow down behind a weekend driver for a couple of miles, the tyres would cool down enough that they'd grip worse than the 185 wide Michelin/15" combo i had on it before. It wasn't confidence inspiring to know that the tires were only just getting up to their working temperature, and anything that cooled them off slightly would be enough to have noticeably uneven grip side to side and front to back.

@OliverPickard Год назад

Tractability is highly underrated probably because it's nuanced and hard to put a number on so people don't talk about it but for a road car the world is unpredictable enough without not knowing what the car is going to do

@Reman1975 Год назад

@@OliverPickard Oh yeah. When hooning around on the limit of grip, it's nice if the limit of grip doesn't keep drastically changing. Half way around a corner isn't the place to find out that the 30 zone you've just plodded through was just long enough for the tires to cool off your nice grippy tyres and turn them into something with all the stickiness of Bakelite doughnuts again.

@cross13000 Год назад

great video, thanks.

@Jeffsa12 Год назад

Were you able to get an adequate amount of ackermann geometry in the steering? I was thinking with the short wheelbase and front steer, the outer steering tie rod placement may prove difficult to get outboard far enough. As an old drag racer from the US, I really enjoy watching your vids for something way outside my wheelhouse. You guys are knocking it out of the park with the engineering details and build quality as well. Nice job and looking forward to watching some test drives on the near future!

@OliverPickard Год назад

I can't remember if it was episode 55 or 56 but I went into it in detail and it's not perfect Ackerman but that's a good thing in our case. I think it's awesome that you enjoy different perspectives I'm like that too and you never know what will inspire you

@jamest5149 Год назад

Brazing the thin panels onto the thick material like the chassis tubes is an alternative to consider if you have access to either Oxy- Acetylene gas or TIG braze 👍

The metal punch I was thinking of comes with an assortment of punches and dies for various size holes. It's also called a Whitney metal punch set NO.5 .

@OliverPickard Год назад

To be honest it's quick enough with the pillar drill but I can see how it would be an absolute godsend on OEM panels

@alessiocarlevaro6934 Год назад

The Power Plant Frame (PPF) in the miata does little to nothing for torsion stiffness. It's a "C section" beam which isn't very effective at resisting torsion. It's there to keep the diff pinion angle parallel to the transmission and also for the manufacturing process as the body and the drivetrain/suspension get assembled separately and then put together

@SateenDuraLuxe Год назад

When you stiffen a sheet of metal by adding creases or bends into it, you're technically not removing a resonant frequency, you're shifting it up into a higher frequency. A flat sheet of metal is not very stiff, it's actually quite wobbly, so it's not very hard to get it to resonate by wobbling it at a few Hz by hand. Making the chassis as stiff as possible might not be the worst thing when it comes to resonant frequency. Low frequency sounds and vibrations won't affect it, only super high frequencies, but the nice thing about that is that high frequencies don't travel as far, and they have far less energy than a low frequency of the same volume. So they're much easier to damp out by simply adding a sheet of rubber or Dynamat in a few strategic locations.

@OliverPickard Год назад

I'll be using dynamat as well

@AlfaElaborazioni Год назад

How are you keeping those steel panes from rusting? phosphoric acid? oiling them? or just griding the rust away?

@OliverPickard Год назад

A wipe with a bit of wd40 does the trick in the short term and it's nice and dry on the workshop

torsional rigidity - OH! you mean like my fave roadster, the Spitfire?(facepalm) I looked into stiffening the frame - might as well build a whole new one! Still love the car. Still want a TR^ too.

@manicmechanic6406 Год назад

I know they have cow catches on the front of trams and when something hits, it knocks the power off. But as for trains, I honestly don't know. I know this because in the late eighties I drove a tram between blackpool and fleetwood I was only fourteen at the time

@OliverPickard Год назад

I think cow catchers on trains were an old American thing but I've never been much of a train guy. Driving a tram at 14 must have made an impression though that's awesome

@fredericrike5974 Год назад

You've described the motor hobbies pretty well- every year thousands start a new "project car", fewer than one in five get finished enough to run and drive. Yet one group seems to finish all of them; there are many reasons for that- "life got in the way" is a major one- cars get started, the family has anew baby or a job change and all the priorities change. Some of those failures stem from over confidence in not realizing what a complicated and interrelated piece of machinery a merely drivable car is. SEMA cars get that way because vendors seeking a "draw piece" commission builders to build "talking pieces" that will not be allowed to run during the show- and they contract as late in the game to prevent as much "leakage" about their "draw piece". Some of the professionals carp about the same thing- most of them have trouble hitting big show dates , sometimes with three year plans. You and your dad are working on a vanity project and both know that if you let it stop completely the odds of a running finish get way smaller; neither of you are having any of that. So, I'll be here to see what you lot can do with the modern version of stone knives and bearskins for tools and parts. Carry on, gentlemen!

@OliverPickard Год назад

"stone knives and bear skins" haha thanks

@fredericrike5974 Год назад

@@OliverPickard thank the good doctor from Star Trek- that's where I cribbed the line from! I did think it was an appropriate way to characterize the effort you and your dad are making- and an outstanding one at that! I'm 70 odd years old; when I first started tinkering with cars I was about thirteen. Back in those antique times, if you wanted speed parts you made most of them from what was lying around in your or your friends garages where today in the States, they just whip out a credit card and order up a car load of parts. I won't deny it dose take some skill to do even that and get a good result, but it just isn't the same as what you and dad do. And watching the two of you work on this project together is also both one of the great aspects of the car hobbies as well as a continuation of traditions. I hope the electric car coming doesn't change that. Be well, be bold and keep you fingers out of the metal working!

I have a honda s2000, I have driven her every day for 12 years, Goodyear efficient grip, thay are a A rated wet tyre, and thay ransformed her 99% more grip in the wet or damp, grate in the dry and last me ages, brilliant value for me in my opinion, but something to think about, as I have confidence, she is much safer for everyone, as it always rains here, I simply can't express how much better she is, before Goodyear efficient grip I did try a couple of expensive make tyres and recommended from Internet forums and they all wanted to kill you, was wanting to slide at low speed, ie roundabouts, I actually thought that there was something rong with the diff, let of overseer was crazy, 99.9% better now, anyway love the moss, as it is about weight I would of gone for 1 Central seat, and looked at the maclaran f1 for inspiration on intake induction noise, as we all love a bit of induction noise, cheers and good luck 👍

There actually *are* stupid questions. Questions that are explicitly and clearly answered in the video under which they are asked, for example. (Because the person didn't actually watch the video, they just want to troll the community.) Questions that are attempted shortcuts for people who don't actually want to learn or understand a concept. Questions to which the answer won't be remembered because they were not an earnest attempt to learn.
