Designing the Steering on my DIY Supercar: Prototype Ep11

in #dtube5 years ago


Using as many parts from the original Audi A6 C4, worked well with my original prototype, but unfortunately the new 2.7T A6 uses many different parts, that I don’t think I can use.

Steering design is very complicated, but there are some obvious issues that can catch out even the best kitcar or custom car designer.

So parts from a second donor car may need to be sourced for the turbo chassis build.

I know very little about cars but even so, I'm amazed by your project. Looks like you have your hands full, lots of work still with many unexpected problems that need solutions. Watching the video gave me the impression that you're very good at this and you know exactly what you're doing. Good luck with it :)

Many thanks Erikah. One of the reasons I decided to make these videos was to try and inspire others to do the same, if not a supercar, then something else they dream about. :)

I'm always telling people we need as many DIY projects as possible to get people involved in different projects. This is very helpful.

Thanks Erikah, yes we need people to get back to making things, and doing things for themselves, it's very rewarding. :)

That's the right thing to do!

Thanks for sharing your creative and inspirational video!

I am wow wow wow, diy supercar. No joke, people do DIY teeshirt and jeans, but a supercar, I sent this video's link to my boyfriend. He is such a car crazy person, would love it.

thanks for sharing this cool video and your work with us all. :)

Thanks vibesforlife, yeah I'd say a supercar is a bit of a step up from a teeshirt lol.

A very huge dreamy step up :p

Thanks, yes you're right, it is a dream, and it looks like I'll need some help to complete it, so I really appreciate all your kind words. :)

Would be great if you got a steering wheel to clip on and off for easy getting in and out. How long do you think the whole build will take from start to finish?

Yes you’re right. I would fit a removable steering wheel in the race car build (If I ever get the funding), but it is planned.

I hoping the build of the prototype should take a year, once I have funding, but if this car is ever offered as a kit, then I think the whole car could be built in 6 weeks, depending on spec.
