In my regular 2cv i drive a lot more and also verry fast. _________________ 2cv 1.5 ti mid-engine Back to top Bart Lowered Joined: 17 Jun 2007 Posts: 783 Location: Södertälje Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2008 8:58 am    Post subject: well what should I say, nice one that is!!! Great project, cool idea and you need guts to do it! I take my head of for that!!! If I may comment on some technical solutions... I find using standaard front brakes on a empty front gearbox not so elegant... I did see that on a orange Belgium acadyane with a bike engine in the back, didn't find it a nice solution. For your rear suspension arms you may consider using Louis Barbour 2cv4x4 rear suspension arms, sorry not cheap but surely nice and good and much stronger than anything sahara type of rear suspension arm. Let me know if you what to know more about that. Good luck with the project and finding time to get it all sorted!

High tech option would be with hydraulics same as in the DS. I am curious how rear wheel breaks will be made If I am not mistaken silly2cv was making this idea with Honda fireblade engine, never heard of it again. _________________ 2CV, with Visa turbo charged Back to top Olli Soviet-Finn Photoshoper Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 2146 Location: Soviet-Finland Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2008 1:22 pm    Post subject: For rear wheels, made just a bit bigger tyres, like 175/55/15 and widen fenders like in Sahara. Maby someone has pictures of this Sahara rear fender installation? Also Sahara fender cuttings would go good here. 175 tyres should be enough up to 150 horses. -Olli _________________ www.ollierkkila.com Back to top JoZeF Grave Digger Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 1734 Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2008 3:46 pm    Post subject: backfire wrote: I am curious how rear wheel breaks will be made If I am not mistaken silly2cv was making this idea with Honda fireblade engine, never heard of it again.

The rear axle tube contains the brake lines. but, granted, that could be modified. the only issue that would need sorting is the rigidity of the axle... _________________ "That bumper fits there like sunglasses on pig" O.E.
