Just finished coil overs. More pictures on my website. http://lambobuilder.com/LS7/ http://lambobuilder.com/LS7/chassis/suspension/susPart3/images/coilOver1.jpg

Just found sevenesque.com which has been very helpful to me in looking at building front suspension, This site is run by Jim McSorley who has developed the 442 plans. His videos are excellent as well has he has a great source for coil overs.

I was able to get the top of the spindle reamed out and now it clears the tire.

actually, that part of the ball joint that is exposed is what is normally covered by the rubber boot.

Finally got back to working on the car. Fabbing front suspension using screw in ball joints but ran into issue with top assembly. http://lambobuilder.com/LS7imgs/1.jpg http://lambobuilder.com/LS7imgs/2.jpg http://lambobuilder.com/LS7imgs/3.jpg Because it is hitting wheels, some of my options are to use a Tie rod end which should allow clearance, ream out top hole to allow ball joint to seat farther down or use spacer to move wheel out for clearance. Open to suggestions.

Saw it at the IMAX/3D sunday after it came out. 9 of us went. Loved it. Plan on going again next weekend.

Merry Christmas to all. One of my gifts this year was finding this forum.

Can't spell Inspirational in Title. Dohh I have been looking at Lotus inspired cars and like the Elfin out of Australia. Will try to incorporate some of their design concepts in my ride. http://www.lambobuilder.com/LS7/gallery/Inspiration/images/insp0.jpg

Updated pictures on the website. As far weight, have no clue. Trying to use same setup as S2000 which used the sway bar. Actually need to tie upper and lower brackets together and this will make good attach point for brackets. Need to do a some research and see what spring rate everyone is using.

Finally got the rear suspension area notched (redid lower braces) to accommodate the axle. Mocked it up and shot some video and posted it on

I had seen a post looking for S2000 user manual. Here is link to download one for free http://powweb.hondahookup.com/manuals2/Honda%20S2000_00-03_Service%20Manual.pdf

Good job. For those areas that you will need minor fill I would suggest using Duraglass instead of Bondo. It works great on fiberglass.

Lots to be thankful for. Great food and Family! and Texas is ahead in the game!

We used to have an S2000 and really enjoyed it. When my son started the project, he got the whole powertrain and I'm working with what we have. Not sure what the eventual body will look like, the picture is from an Elfin but I really like the look. Since I've built several exotics, I think I can come up with something that will accommodate the taller engine and still have a sleek look. That is a ways off yet.

I have started working on a new project which is using a Honda S2000 running gear in a McSorley 7+4 chassis. I have created a website that you can view my progress at [/url]http://lambobuilder.com/LS7 I have built numerous Lamborghinis (http://lambobuilder.com) and thought I would try something different. I have started by fabricating new mounting points to transfer the stock OEM suspension to the chassis. Have a ways to go but glad to find this forum as I have already done some research. Here is last chassis I built. http://www.lambobuilder.com/chassis/images/chassissilowette.jpg
