Sammy, The amount of resources you have at your finger tips is unreal! I would have a hard time even finding the graphing paper you have in the background. Great now I'm depressed! LOL!
Great build BTW

Sammy as cost doesn't seem to be too much of an issue for you I'm guessing you have opted for a Li Battery and the 6 or so Kg that will save you?

Realistically I think the car is not earlier than 18 months finish.batterie or the tires will buy later.the batterie you say I already find.the weight saving compared to an odyssey of 5 kg. I'm going to build all the fishbone and rear uprights and rear hub , unloading and other pieces in titanium.It would be helpful to know if the original parts need changes.

as an idea, can you incorporate the guard (cycle wings) mountings into the guard, rather than making a set of metal frames?
What about using carbon fibre & moulding the guard slightly wider & putting a full back/inner section in it. Use this as the mounting. You could even mould a brake cooling duct into that rear/inner section.
Just an idea

Now there's an idea. Might also protect a little from the spray some builders report on tight corners. Better than ugly fairing.
From what I've read here, 17" wheels don't fit under the standard wings easily, they required some extension in at least some of the cases.
My donor came with 17s and I'm changing them for 15s as soon as I can afford to, but it means my cycle wings are going to be about the last pieces fitted.

Tanks guys for your ideas Casesensitive: my cycle wings seem to be good for wheels 17. Anyway I'm not going to use these originals. a friend of mine is making them in carbon. The rear will be more 2,5cm wide. Pocketrocket: I did not understand exactly what you mean...Let me unterstand please    |

In your picture, see where your wing stays are? Imagine those not to be there and instead, that to be a sheet of carbon fibre, all moulded into the cycle wings themselves. So the cycle wing ends up with a filled in section, in the inner side, inside/behind the wheel.
This could then have a brake cooling duct moulded into it as well.

The lightest would be to leave them off but don't know about Iva. Just a thought

I weighed my 17" donor wheels (plus tyres) yesterday: 18.9kg each.
17s look nice but you could save the weight in all that carbon by having 15s.. Plus the acceleration will be better, surely?

Pocketrocket:
I unterstand.
I talked to my friend for cycle wings carbon regarding your idea. I said it can not guarantee the stability of the pieces because of the vibrations.
Hmmm....Would be a good idea.
Anyway I changed a bit my intensions about wheels. Also I am going to use wheels 15. I have been offered at a great price wheels 15 by the weight of 4.6kg per piece. It seems a weight absurd. As soon as I receive them will be immediately weighed ..

Casesensitive:
I also weighed my wheels: 16,3kg. Not bad for 7,5x17. The wheels that I bought and now I was told that weighed complete with tires 195/50/15 Yokohama Neova Adva only 11.3kg piece. If not before I see it with my own eyes I do not believe.

Meanwhile I finished a few pieces for the engine, steering and pedals. Although to be honest I do not have many things in about two weeks  |

I talked to my friened for cycle wings carbon regarding your idea. I said it can not guarantee the stability of the pieces because of the vibrations. You should be able to mould in ribs to add the strength where required, that is the beauty of carbon, you can add what you need exactly where you need it. Or you could use carbon tubes, these are available already made in different sizes. Good to see you have gone for the 15" wheels, otherwise you would be working against your stated intentions. |
