Fury Design

Before I end up going overboard, I thought I'd better think out the design some more before its too late. I did this before ordering the chassis, as I needed to know what I was going to do before I decided on the engine mounts etc. In the end I went bike engine spider with a windscreen.

Here are the gory details.

Chassis
  • IRS Chassis with Freelander differential mountings and Escort Front end
  • Crutch Straps
  • A taller pedal box as my feet are too big for the standard one.
  • Side Impact protection
  • Lowered floor for the driver, this should mean I sit an inch lower in the car and give me better visibility, and lower COG too.
  • Higher Rollover bar as I'm too tall for the current one.
  • Powder coating in Orange. Tempted to also get the chassis plated, Chris mentioned this is something new they are starting to offer. I think it might be too expensive considering the cost of a new chassis.
  • The column mount is raised to give me better clearence around my legs
Braking
  • 3/16" Copper Nickel brake lines
  • Goodridge braided brake hoses
