3: Are you not planning on having any suspension components in 2013?
4: Why do you have a big gap at the bulkhead, near the dash?
5: Where do you plan to put the external hole, and where does the air come from?

There are so many more questions to ask, as it seems you are taking a step backwards. However, these 5 will do for now.

Tbf I commented before you decided to try and 'ban' me.

I would like the questions to be answered, for your benefit.
Otherwise you will not improve and realise your mistakes.

I will attempt to ask them again, for your sake.

The benefit isn't much apart from a chance to screw around with ducts and driver cooling. The big gap can't really be helped because I cba to make a new tub for now. I am planning to have suspension (obviously) but I wasn't aware FS are picky about space for components sorry...
The air as stated, comes from the hole in the nose which is yet to be done, and for the steering column, well gotta work around that.

And no need to kick my ass and bombard me with questions the second I try to do something a bit innovative.

Anyway...

Done with the interrogation?

But it's not for cooling, because you did an exit on top of the cockpit? As for the gap, you could fill it with one single face, as a quick fix. Of course components matter, designing a car isn't only about bodywork. You never stated there would be a hole in the nose, but ok.

I am just being critical, which is a good thing. The quality is there, but the innovation doesn't work. It's a good thing to be criticised, something I wish I had a little more often to help me develop.

I think I mention it there Andy.
And okay, constructive criticism is good, but a face in the gap will just cause drag?

A blast from the recent past. :lol: First ever attempt at the car. Was known as the MEG-VW1. Still the nose isn't as bad as OTHER people's first attempts. :shock:

You have some real attitude.
I get your young but respect your elders.

What did I mean by the raised 1 ...? Thats fairly obvious isnt it.

Hey Richard,

When did you become my mum? And between me and Andy we (or at least I) treat it as a bit of banter. Anyway, no need for sarcasm. I don't understand wt "raised 1" you are on about. Would you care to elaborate?
