scannon Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 John has been working on this project for quite awhile. He started with measurements taken from my SV and designed his own version using a Miata drivetrain including the IRS. Today he started it for the first time. His Locost blog is at http://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=13510&sid=a855ce69feef7c0940d40a05b53f6d94&start=15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 That guy is something else (skillwise)... making his own poly bushing is crazy etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 He is a highly skilled machinist working for an aerospace company. He also works in glass, ceramics, makes high dollar kaleidoscopes and lots of other things. He built that shop himself. John also did the machining on my Caterham build, things like motor mounts, water outlets and reconfiguring the tailshaft of the transmission to fit into the Caterham tunnel.

MightyMike Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 John's car looks fantastic. Last time I saw it, he was fabricating the frame. Top notch work and attention to detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
