build diary

November 14, 2005: It's here!
My big box of books showed up today. I'm not happy with how the writeup has been done on Amazon, but the book is finally available. In a couple of days, you'll be able to buy it through this site. If you're interested in a copy, please wait until then - it nets me another couple of dollars that way. Thanks.

Any other news? Well, my house is better insulated now although the Seven has seen no action. I'll have to sketch up my ideas for the front pushrod suspension soon and show them off, although I do want to figure out what the front and rear geometries are doing and if I should tweak them. That involves some quality time with my tape measure and I just haven't been all that motivated recently. It's really tempting to just stick some stiff springs and bigger swaybars on there to stop the bloody thing from moving around on the suspension too much. This won't improve the street ride much, which is ironic given my "coming soon!" muffler that should make the car much nicer to drive without a helmet.

I'm also reworking the website a bit to make it work better. Regular visitors should appreciate the updates and hopefully there will be lots of new visitors due to the book. A new URL - http://www.cheapsportscar.net - and a new server will be coming soon. Don't worry, the existing address will keep working. Any feature requests? Let me know via the guestbook or email! You won't be able to download the entire site but I can add things like RSS easily enough. I have a couple of features that I think will be pretty cool. True to the spirit of things, I'm building the code from scratch for this.
