Heres some pics of a little zuk im building up at the moment for Terrazuki,
hope to be ready for Zukicrawl,
Specs to date : 1.3 motor
serries3 gearing
toyota diffs with air locker
35in MTRs soon 37's
Wheel base 96.5in
Dovetailed front and rear
Exo cage and stinger bar
Coil rear end
Will add pics once able to

Sounds awesome dude. If you email me pics I'll put em up for you if you like.

More.

thats not a dovetailed front

this is



the zook looks good

just curious why coils in the rear and not the front? How equal is the roll stiffness front to rear?

Leaves in the front tend not to droop all the way out on big uphill climbs. A coil will just droop to its full length, where as leaves will just return to their static rest point, not continue to droop out to full down travel. This is at a guess anyway.

Looks unrealy Dave.

Layto....

nice work. Like what you've done so far.

Good to see people chopping up soft tops instead of precious HT's.

Cheers

wow

first drive flopped it about 500m up the track

will be sweet once u get some 37's

isnt that a good reason to put coils in the front?

how does having balanced front/rear articulation induce backflips?

Coils will have more droop when shifting the weight to the back

definatly not the case depends on the setup

lifting my car up from the top my front leaf springs have more droop then the coiled 4link rear

Coils will have more droop when shifting the weight to the back

and if the weight shifts the other way (if a rear wheel falls in a hole and the opposite front climbs an obsticle, the extra droop will be extra roll and the car will peel off the hill. If the front flexed harder then the likelyhood of this would be reduced. (not saying that it is occuring in this case but in the theorys others are presenting.)

Main reason is cost at this stage hayden could'nt aford to go coils at both ends straight up and theres nothing wrong with a good leaf spring front end anyway. All the Exo cage is done now will try and get some pics soon. Its looking in my opinion Defiatly needs some 37s though.

definatly looking

but hell yeah it needs some bigger meat.
