more cut & paste, to obey race rule for max. vehicle length which is 3 meters
I'm re-locating rear bulkhead 15 cm to get little more space for myself and my buddy
I'll use 2 identical bicycles and stretch frames to mini-me's wheelbase and connect side by side using welded tubes
remove gearing and handlebars etc.

That was amazingly fast.

You do not have anything else to do...do you? :LOL:

You know you could make little gokarts like this. They would probably sell if the doors opened ( us old people climbing over the body thingy ). :D

Please keep us posted, this really looks good.

:D :D

Ozgur_Tan 04-23-2009 07:20 AM

thank you
frankly, mini-me is for just fun !
other than that keep-it-simple project
I've got some more projects as listed below
  • flettner rotor & electric powered catamaran
  • retrofit electric motors to old cars
  • scratch built cobra289fia as pet project
  • carbon fiber accessories
Peace

Ozgur, you rock! :)

Ozgur_Tan 05-05-2009 03:17 PM

yes
it's all about show, so flashy color like red/white combo is OK
although my personal preference is viking blue without stripe for my scratch built 289fia

looks awesome! Just wondering, how did you place in the event?

Ozgur_Tan 05-26-2009 01:36 PM

well, second chicane was very hard & narrow.
we did not reduce width of the car since we would like feel course together as a team
therefore we hit when try to exit from chicane and DNF
bodyshell is OK
