    How much did it cost to get all the tubes for the frame?

    I cant believe I am just now discovering this channel! You guys do some awesome stuff, I am designing a fuel tank for a car where we have had baffling issues. The design ive been thinking of is very very similar to yours. I was curious about any updates on the performance especially for the sump area for your pickup tube as mine runs an external pump as well and I am looking to build a sump just like that!

    Your videos are really really interesting, I’m currently studying vehicle engineering with a focus on the ICE and my biggest concern is that I know when I’ll finish the studies that I probably won’t be able to do a single thing or most things you’ve done in this series which is a big problem. I’ve bought some books on vehicle dynamics and I’m planning to have a look at them by myself but without some practical examples it’ll probably be tough.

    a friend of mine told me to not use Bondo fiberglass resin to strengthen and waterproof paper-backed foamcore because it would "melt" it. Is there any truth to that? I wanted to make an undertray for the rear area of my Honda Civic

    I think a HANS is useless and not worth the price at that level. A neck brace is largely enough. Remember, in the 80s turbo era and during the wing cars era in F1, racing drivers had nothing around their neck but miles and training for some of them.

    Hello, we are beginner team from India. We are currently at design phase. But designing of the suspension was found to be very hard due to lack of study materials. Can you or anybody from the community please guide us where we can find the resources for the designing process of the suspension. Thank you.

    Incredibly helpful and inspiring series! Getting me motivated to start my own project car! In terms of getting started on design, I am trying to hunt down some CAD for the stock VW parts (engine, front suspension, brakes, steering assembly). Would you be able to share your files or your source? Best of luck in your future racing series!

    Been a while now, did you go ahead with this? I haven't tried the preloaded front suspension yet but I think there is a good chance it might work. I use Automobilista (1) as that was the game I worked on and I know it inside out, except the moments when it turns out I don't know it inside out..

    At the end, you say that testing at the track is not as cost effective. I disagree. Academic calcutions only need one error to render them valueless whereas actual real world testing is where every dynamic is present and correct. It's also a lot more fun at the track than on a spreadsheet!

    I bet it painful to throw away the plug! Not criticizing, just curious. The mold sections seemed pretty flexible. Did you have any issues with that or did you wish you had added some ribbing to them?
