Hyper Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I just ordered some new brakes for my little Mazda Protege, but check out the free bonus I got. A nice little fridge magnet, that looked very familiar. Congrats Andrew. How do you get your car featured on the magnet? Sorry about the crappy picture, I had to use the Photocopier/Scanner to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eVox Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 :D awesome! I used a lot of RA parts while building the locost, and contacted them about getting into their monthly newsletter back in april i believe. They are really great people to deal with, and their website is top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 I really love Rock Auto, except for every delivery coming FedEX. I have always found the parts I'm looking for and cheaper than anywhere else. I just noticed they have a small version of the magnet on the July Newsletter. It also said this, "If your vehicle is chosen, we will make sure to send you plenty of magnets to share with friends and family, and make you the envy of your car club." Congrats again!

eVox Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 the car is currently out of commission...i snapped a front lower suspension bracket and bent another due to fatigue failure...something about braking from high speeds in reverse...can't learn to drift if you dont spin so it'll be off the road for a week or two. I managed to tweak my shoulder and its been hurting for a few days now and im taking it super easy on it...its hard not to work on the cars >_ The locost suspension is fighting with ITBs for the locost engine, a v8 miata, a turbo e30, and a merkur lemons car for attention (among other things).

solder_guy Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 At a car show last night in Tucker, GA, I was talking with a Ga Tech Alumnus who upon seeing my Rotus mentioned your Locost .. and knew about it from a "nice" write-up in the GA Tech Alumni mag! Way to go Andrew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solder_guy Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thanks! I just got a hardcopy in the mail. There is an online version here ... Wow! Nice pic with the TECH tower in the background! You should have a poster made of that pic! Nice concise write-up .. Although the guy in Tucker recognized your car as a Locost .. there's no mention in the accompanying article .. and your http://www.gatechlocost.com and http://www.wreckracing.com is missing too .. at least the 7 grill and car profile give it away to those alumni who are aware of the Lotus 7. Still killer PR! Congrats Andrew! I mean DAMN! :party: Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
