Springs are made from spring steel. And when you cut them you heat them up alot. And introducing heat to spring steel makes it just steel wich isnt good. Same applies for welding them :glare:.

Honda engines rotate in the opposite direction and are also fited on the right with the gearbox on the left. I would go with building a CG13 engine and a very light and balanced car. Its not the engine size that makes you go fast. Racing is about acceleration, braking and handling. Power...

Nice micra!:wow:

EBBdude did it in his micro micra topic and it showed a nice gain :)
