He has the spirit of the true privateer. He's building a high performance car using the minimum of tools. His science and engineering is spot on. I'm not sure why sponsors aren't air dropping tools and parts on his doorstep. His videos should be sponsored by Lincoln electric, Dewalt tools, metal supermarkets, Michelin tires etc...

I am member of a Formula Student Team and part of the suspension department, and I really enjoy all of your suspension videos, because they are really detailed and almost everything about your suspension matches about what we are running in our Formula Student racecar. I use your videos to better understand the way suspensions are designed. Reading the book is so difficult and usually I have to read one part several times to understand it. We are actually running a pull rod Suspension with longitudinally mounted coilover dampers, but we are changing to a push rod wank-heave system for fully adjustable anti roll settings next season. thanks for your inspiration and motivation and greetings from Germany!

Dude!! You inspire me to much. I've always wanted to do something like this. Keep up those explanation videos. They are so helpful

This is currently my favorite thing to watch on KZfaq. Keep the videos coming man

Forget the area51 raid. I wanna raid this guy's mind. Genius at worst, can't imagine at best.

Great job. I'm very happy to see a youtuber with a solid understanding of engineering principals. So many build channels spend weeks chasing their tails over much simpler designs.

Unbelievable! And all of this in your home garage. I can't even build a simple bed and this guy is developing a race car 😂 I love your episodes. Keep going and greetings from Germany

What software do you use for suspension geometry?

At 15 min into the video... I could understand roughly 50% of what this video covering so far. And here I thought I was getting better at my DIY skills during Covid. This guy brings DIY to another universe... Respect.

This is like day and night compared to your first self built car, it will look insane, once its finished!

Dude, you're inspiring future Engineers, including myself. Currently i'm working in a FSAE team in Brazil, in Chassis development, side by side with the suspension part. Keep it up man!!

I never know what to comment on your videos as I'm absolutely amazed and simply speechless, no word of a lie. Your knowledge, delivery of technical information and implementation is simply amazing. Seriously can't express how greatful and appreciative of your efforts to share all this and the sheer inspiration you are. By default I like your videos before I even watch, keep up the amazing work. There are sooo many people on KZfaq loads of car channels but 'YOU' are serious top dog man, genuinely sick!

I love watching this after I watch those dumb "build" compilations of people bolting on air intakes and coilovers lol. It really puts into perspective the real engineering behind race cars. Truly epic what you are doing!

You are a very clever gentleman for sure! Enjoyed the explanation of the multi-link rear suspension as I have never really understood how these worked.

Can't wait for next vid! Not only is it a great effort to build something from scratch but to also document it and explain everything, to give so much of your time is just humbling and inspirational. Keep them coming! ❤️from Australia.

The laser check is so precise I like it, and you nailed it, so hard to do this kind of perfection! Big up!

How did you gather soooo much knowledge!?😮 I mean you even have good electronic knowledge since you made your own ECU.

How does this guy only have 31k subs? Amazing stuff...

Thank you so much for all the work you put into explaining all of these complex suspension geometries to us all! You do an absolutely fantastic job! Second to none! It’s so refreshing to have something I don’t know very well explained so clearly with visual demonstrations of exactly what’s being described! Keep up the great work man!

The whole testing on minimising your bump steer on the rear was inspiring. I can’t wait to see the results translate on the track!!

Yours is the type of channel that makes KZfaq legendary to watch for true petrolheads. Building/tuning your own car :)

I remember the merc build, good to see you back as your work is excellent.

Very tricky to get right. Few years ago I was hillclimbing a standard-ish road spec car, but it wasn't a conventional suspension setup (Rover Hydragas). Changed the entire thing to coilover suspension, made wishbones and rosejointed as much as I could. Left the front geometry fully adjustable and it was a complete pain in the ass. Great job you're doing there

I love this series beacause first it involves a v8, and second he is using metric units. Love it !

I can't wait to see it all velded. 😅 Love it man! Can't wait for you to finish.

Bro! You wanna know what’s insane??? Your brain brotha! Your a freaking genius!!! Hands down this video really explains how your mind works! I will now go and start watching your videos on this build from the beginning. Found my new favorite KZfaq video!

Awesome video. I'm so excited!

Can't wait to see the next part!

Getting some real project binky vibes, great job.

oh wow ive learnt so much in 24 min than years of goofing around on my own, thank you!

G'day from West Australia, I Am liking what you are doing, from an Engineer's point of view🙂 3rd gen 38yrs trade life thus far.

Fantastic job on the video ! Had to leave a like ! Nice details and images , very impressive ! Keep it up bro and have fun !!!

Nice job & well detailed multi link design. Push push !

Ive been watching this build since you started making the chassis and i think its awesome and its turning out amazing

Man you are incredible! Keep up with this amazing project! Greetings from Brazil

Respect from Nigeria bro, been following you!

Very impressed with your knowledge I look forward to your future videos.

Amazing project I am following the progress intently. I would love to see you design and build your own uprights on your next project.

Love the whole series. I was surprised though when the heim joints on the rear suspension were oriented in a manner that you convincingly argued against for the front suspension. The joints on the spindle made sense because of reusing the holes but the orientation of the joints on the frame were new and went against your orientation argument for the front joints.

You my inspiration always looking forward to a new video,ive learnt so much from your videos.Keep up the good work.

So inspired! Can’t wait to get to that point on my Willy’s Jeep build!

I am here because an EV group on Facebook, this video really help! thanks for sharing

Beautiful work, straight up art

Your videos are very good and informative. Im currently building my own race car based on the lotus 7 but with a lot of different set ups on suspension

Beautiful... Thank you for sharing!

You are the man! Love your videos.

Great job man, the laser test is a bright idea as well

I wait for your videos and click on them the minute I get a notification lol thanks for your very talented work!

Been waiting all week for the video! Cooooooool!

that channel deserves millions of views.... awesome content dude....

I love that you put an amg engine in it and not an LS. Big vintage Mercedes car guy and after I finish my 280sel 4.5. Id love to swap another older Mercedes with a 6.3 c6s engine.

I'm speechless. This guy is awesome. 👍

Good stuff. For the drivesaft just bend one U-shaped tube over the saft and weld it to the framerails. That tubing acts as sort of blastshield if saft gets crumbled or break.

Respect. Keep up the great work & videos.

Great Videos. You are extremely talented and knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing.

Building a car as we speak and your videos are a true help

KEEP GOING THIS WILL BE SO WORTH IT AT THE END

Great video, really interesting stuff. The only thing I would suggest is a driveshaft safety loop. Sheet metal won't do much to protect you from a driveshaft at high speeds.

There's a phrase 'jack of all trades, master of none ' you seem to be a master of all!

Awesome stuff! My question is with the push-rod - based, suspension in the rear (actually front and rear) have you considered adding a third coilover to dial out toe-out during braking? Formula cars have been using this technique for decades. Seems as if this could not only help maintain the amount of on-throttle track-out toe-in you're aiming for and help provide consistent aero-loading in all situations.

Great video on multi-link rear suspension. I do not understand the implications of all the design features but it should enable your to take corners at higher speeds. I notice you are using triangular architecture for the frame of your car body. Fascinating. Keep up the great work.

WOW! Very fast and eficient! keep it up!

Cool build dude :D nice idea turned into something rly good looking. hope u will actually get to race it.

Great video again. Really well done. What software are you using for the kinematics? Also just a comment but the clearance between halfshafts and chassis looks quite close when accounting for suspension! travel!

awesome job!

i cant stop watching!

Respect from Kurdistan man I really enjoy this!

this video is such a gem! Instant subscribe ;)

im gonna be lazy on this one, and then creates a whole rear suspension, damn you are badass smart

Well done mate love your work. You explain everything so well. I'd love a copy of your plan its nicely done.

Keep up the good work🤘

Great job

Phenomenal. Subscribed

Awesome, subscribed!

Sick!!!

This will be done and then the subscriptions will catch up. Can't believe how fast you are building a car.

Drive shaft loop would be a quick add that would ensure your safety. Aluminum won't do much to stop a driveshaft at speed.

So dope!

This guy is a diy hero, you can build hi tech quality stuff at home if you research and apply yourself

awesome, you left me speechless

Great job, very entertaining, can you explain what stops the rear links tying themselves in knots with the braking force. Thanks David

Correction: under acceleration the propulsive force is applied at the axle height on the knuckle.. You tilted the steering axis to help pointing it toward the contact patch (which is valid to minimize the braking force leverage), but doing so it increased the leverage of the propulsive force (which was allready increased by the wheel spacer). This will tend to toe in under power (by compliances).

These videos are insanely awesome, loving the progress and your in depth knowledge. Would you be willing to sell cad designs once finished so we can build one too! I think something like this with an OM606 diesel and holset turbo would be a fun project!

what platform you use to simulate ?

Are there any possibilities of the joint going into bind, or contact the sides of your brackets, since you used no high missalignment spacers with the rod ends? And fix that center welded driveshaft. It's going to end badly. (Edit). A sheet of aluminum trans tunnel is not in the same league as a production car steel tunnel which has stampings to increase strength and usually supports and/or bracketry. I've seen the aftermath of a driveshaft that letgo while towing a car on a dolly and it completely ripped through the tunnel and basically vaporized the whole console. This was in a 450 sl which is not thin metal at all. Please send that driveshaft to be balanced. They will tell you they won't do it welded in the middle then make it correctly for you.

Canadian tire needs to sponsor you!

wow!

amazing

This project is so cool to see in depth What software you use to design the suspension kinematics? Is it just for visualizing or will it give you motion curves as well?

I say this every time I watch your videos but man... Incredible! Do you plan on keeping the OEM flex disc with driveshaft in this setup? Also what six speed transmission is this? ( may have missed that info)

Love your work mate. Wish you were in Australia so I could help with the body. Body building is a trade in Australia and that's mine

Kingpin inclination is the term you referred to I believe....Nice build.

Amazing build mate, simply amazing! Do you really need wide wheels with such a light vehicle?

nice work

Is the transmission capable of handling the amg engine horsepower?

awesome

I was wondering if you plan on triangulating any of your suspension mounts on the chassis. I think you could see some decent compliance from the tubes being in bending. And even some of the pick up points close to nodes should probably have gussets, like the toe links.

What software did you use to design the car and suspension geometry?

Did you consider having the axles lengthened to get rid of the spacers? Just wondering, usually not too expensive to have those made

love your videos:)
