The latest chassis leak....

[spaceywilly]

Ok, sorry for the glamorized title

This is what is posted by FFR in their main website and I'm sure it's still preliminary and subject to change.


What I see is:

OEM Subaru front knuckles/hubs with fabricated A-arm adapters in the 'stock' location up front.
OEM Subaru front lower control arm w/OEM bushings in the stock location up front.
OEM steering rack and steering column.
FFR sourced/fabricated uppercontrol arms in the front.
OEM rear trailing link, in the rear.
OEM rear lateral link/s, in the rear. These suggest OEM rear knuckles/hubs.
OEM sized wheels, but with non-OEM staggered tire sizes
NOT OEM coilover shocks at all 4 corners.

As it looks in the pic, I see no center tunnel structure. I would normally be concerned about torsional rigidity as it sits without a tunnel, but I know that Jim is a much better engineer than I.

Also looks like it will probably use the OEM steering wheel, FWIW

Here's some parts that might be of interest to people building an 818, based on this drawing:
