shakey Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 thanks its mine ,, the first i built, do you think ive priced it accordingly ? any constructive crits ? cheers
MrPos Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 I've been looking at this advert today, not quite what I'm looking for but very tempted. (Been looking for an SEIW)
Greggs Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Looks excellent shakey. I was also looking at it earlier on the bay and i wondered if i could get away with another one, but apparently i dont need two!!! In my opinion i would say its bang on the money, i dont think you will have it for long...
shakey Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 thanks for that greggs, i was going to advertise it on here but cant load the photos, anyway if any member is interested it will oviously come cheaper,
MrPos Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Can anyone point out the main differences between the SE and the SEiW in simple form please?
shakey Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 se is a narrow body , seiw is a wide body, and has indipendant rear suspension,, some cars differ depending on the build, hope this helps,
MrPos Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Is there much in it for size? Does the independent suspension make much difference? I had made my mind up that and SEiW was the one for me but this one looks great in the pictures
shakey Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 im not going to be bias as this car is mine, , the se narrow and the seiw are both equaly good cars, it all dependes on the owners requirements, the seiw is obviously a wider car and has more seat options, the narrow is more of a snug fit, as for the susspension and axle layout its all up to the individual, ive built both and have no issues with either, i think the best thing to do is to sit in both and see how you feel,
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Differences between wide and narrow, have a look at this thread, here A very basic sum up is that the narrow is shorter and narrower in the cockpit. This can make it uncomfortable, or even just impossible for larger drivers to fit! If you're aiming for a lightweight track car, then the narrow is the lightest platform to start with; in fact, the narrow with live axle is probably one of the lightest combinations! The live axle works very well on track too. Though owners that have tried both often favour independent for real world road conditions, with dodgy Tarmac, potholes etc.
