build diary

March 27, 2006: No work over the weekend as I was in Denver picking up some random parts.
I learned a few interesting things and had a chance to crawl all over Skip Cannon's turbo Miata powered Caterham. He's doing a really nice job and examining the car really underscores the difference between a Locost and a Caterham. Where mine seems to subscribe to the "I'm not sure how strong this should be, so let's use big tube" theory, the Caterham has delicate tubes that are carefully placed. There's a lot to be learned from these cars and a few of their designs will be transferred to my car shortly.
