Are people still doing that? I thought that by now the time would come where it's obvious to everyone that nobody really cares what order your post is.
I´ve developed the suspension for a formula student car, and also been responsible for all vehicle dynamics of another, and a few things do scare me. First please do not run the battery in that position. If you crash that can quite likely come into contact with a object. If you have that happen it can be dangerous. Place it in somewhere secure. Second that bump steer is for sure going to damage stability, having sigificant slip angle with vertical movement can be bad if not studied carefully. Also there are a few ways to easily properly align your wheels you can easily have 1 or more degrees of error if you do not measure it properly (saying from experience), and bad alignment will create worse handling and more unpredictability. If you need any suggetions I'm sure me and other people could give you some advice. Also look if there is not a local FSAE team maybe they can also give you some advices even help you with cad software and some FEM basic analysis (if you do not know what it is research it you will find it interesting). Also i would suggest implementing a rear anti roll bar. I believe it could help you a lot in cornering since you have a locked axle.
I have already said all of those things in previous videos. He doesn't care and states that he makes it up as he goes and doesn't want to study anything... Bummer. I am also a suspension member of an FSAE team

@Boostedlifestyle Honestly, knowing how your brain works about _not_ picturing things in your head, this first attempt has gone really well considering. Doing a second one and having this one for reference will be super helpful.
A bit late but when you're making steering columns with multiple u-joints you need to offset them in their rotation. Basically you need to turn one 90 degrees, it prevents binding at weird angles. It will still function but you will get better operation with them offset. Learned this from Mike Finnegan on Roadkill back in the day. Makes sense when you watch and feel the difference. Awesome build! You're doing great, can't wait to see the finished project.
Mate, I've been watching you build this since the start, and it's crazy how emotionally invested you can get watching someone achieve dreams. Inspirational stuff. Cheers from Australia.
Me to mate shame he don't put out any videos, been over a month now before last video. To busy making money with geena on onlyfans no doubt. It's a massive shame since finding him building the 8 turbo mustang in lock down I literally watched all 600+ videos from the start and love him as a person just gutting he's barely uploading 😢
Oh yeah! Finally after watching all the way from the start over the last two years it's finally drive-able. Amazing work and keep it going the sameway!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You are awesome man. I love seeing you create all of these things instead of just buying it off-the-shelf. So happy that that's the direction you're going. Cannot wait to see this amazing build and the next one
I needed this. When everything in the world feels like it might be falling to shit, leave it to a Kyle, nay, The Kyle, to give us what we need. Awesome work.
Talk about vibin'! This is such a great moment for the channel! What a great accomplishment, Kyl3 Williams!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 You sir, are a badass and I love you, man. #teamraceteam🔥🔥🔥
That's so cool, man! Not only that hell of a machine but also seeing you being able to finally drive it after all that time. So excited of seeing it rock the track! Keep up the great work man
This thing is sick, awesome job! Can't wait to see the bodywork! Lowering that rack and pinion should help with the bump steer, keeping the tie rods more level
Dude thats what its all about, I started screing a few pieces of wood together 15years ago. Today I build arcade cabinets in record time. What I am trying to say is you gain experience while doing what is fun. The setbacks are the lessons, not the wins. Really odd reading that out loud...lol. Good job man.
Kyle and Geena, y'all rock! Finally, the video I knew was coming. That thing is so badass and sounds awesome. Can't wait for you to fix the last few things. Peace easy and get that v! ❤
Excellent, well done. No overheating, no fluid leaks out. No electrical issues. You can make adjustments and start planning your tests. Plus yo can think of an aero and bodywork. It’s made by yourself and you can now build know how for the next one. I made a decision. My F1 project will be with an VW 1.8T and a Hewland gear box, Porsche GT3 hubs, breaks, steering box. Targeted weight 450kg without fluids. It’s a turbo, the tank will take 100l. Good luck with your project. It’s amazing to see how one can get there where he feels like the Wright Brothers.
Now we need to see a turbo K24 cart next and maybe colab with B/B Kyle, man i hate the clutches was slipping. Been cool to see you be able to ring it out a little but also that gave you the chance to feel it out without the tires spinning too. Awesome job
100% for the effort. 👍 Fair play to anyone attempting something like this , trust me it ain’t easy and to design a car from scratch takes decades of experience and knowledge. I’ve had 30 years in manufacturing and motorsport , make everything myself and am currently designing a full race car from scratch. Chassis, suspension, bodywork etc etc all by hand. Let people like you two be an inspiration to anyone any age . Yes bits will break, bits will fall off and you will do everything differently the second time round as you learn from your mistakes. But just have fun as part of the journey , share the memories , meet new people. A priceless experience when one looks at the bigger picture. Best wishes and good luck to you both.👌😉🇬🇧.
For doing the fiberglass seat you can prime your mold and then use a release agent to make it easier to remove afterwards. I have had to do this before when I was repairing the fiberglass front cap of a city bus.
I actually had this exact idea about maybe 8 years ago, building an F1 car with a CBR engine, had some things a little different in mind but the same overall idea, never got around to actually do it and every few years the idea pops into my head again and I wonder if it will actually work, you can’t imagine the smile on my face when i came across this video and saw someone actually do it and it works, great job buddy
Why not just have a section of the frame that is pressure welded? Drill and tap the frame and use that as your air storage. That's what we do on race bikes. Use a section of tube from or the swingarm for our air storage.
I subbed not because of just the content(which btw is amazing), but also because your personality is so warm, and funny I think you will grow a lot from your personality! I am here with you on your journey!❤
great work man, seems you have learned alot during the process of building and your skills have improved alot. Well done. Just keep learning and applying it.
I’ve always wanted to use the tubing of the chassis as an air tank. I realize that it would take an incredible amount of extra time in prep and checking each joint but you already have a huge hollow container.
Just found your channel tonight scrolling through UA-cam. 5 minutes into the video I subscribed. I watch alot of automotive youtubers like B is for Build , Taylor Ray , Danger Dan , Boosted Boiz , Cleetus and others. Really digged the video. Think ill go back and watch the whole series.
What makes this series so enjoyable is that it is not whitewashed. Things start out wonky, you own your failures and take pride in becoming a better engineer. The fun part is watching you do stuff not that perfect and then wanting to do it better because you learned. Good that you make your own design everywhere, it would be boring if you used someone else's plans or ideas and just assembled something.
Even though hollow core solder has flux in it, you really need to use flux before you solder. It ensures you get a real weld between the two copper pieces. You wont see it, but if you don't use flux, the joint will crack.
I've been watching your channel Kyle since you had 10K subs, been a few years now, this project would have been a dream a few ago, now , it's reality !! Well done Kyle, say hi Virginjam too :) Cheers from Australia :)
More reactive steering is meeded for sure, but this build is awesome. Ive been quietly watching for so long. This is epic! We all find the errors in our builds and setups! Keep building and keep learning. Oh most importantly keep going fast!
Kyle, I'm so hyped too finally see it in a driveable state! I'm in the process of designing a two seat tandem LMP-style streetcar, and would love to hear any tips you have to give. Keep up the awesome work, I can't wait to see it on the track!
Im glad you pulled through with the Idea! Now you know what to do and head in the right direction, Im a big fan of trial and error until eventually you get it done its what i do in my every day life too!! Awesome!!
Hope to see it stretch its legs somewhere this spring! Hope to see you tackle version 2 as well. Be fun breaking down all the geometry changes. It’s all a compromise, but next time I’m sure you’ll improve several aspects on the initial design so packaging won’t be so limiting later in development. With the current setup I’m curious to see how understeer plays out. The live axle is going to make it a little interesting. Wonder if you’ll be able to find a good slip angle or if it’ll wanna 4 wheel slide. At higher speed some front aero will probably do the trick.
I have used part of the tube chassis as a functional air tank. Some sanctioned race bodies require inspection holes, so obviously that wouldn't work in those instances, but for a project like this it would work. The interior volume of DOM tubing can get pretty significant.
That’s awesome. I wonder if you can do anything to make the turning radius a little better that I’m excited to see to finish product once you get the body kit on it and all that
Love what you're doing! A couple of things to consider. Please consider making your battery tray out of something other than carbon fiber blend. Carbon Fiber conducts electricity and cause you to do serious damage to your electrical system! Also, consider creating some "L" shaped drop links to drop the steering rods. While not perfect, it'll allow for better bump-steer characteristics, as any driving you do-doesn't matter the speed, will generate peculiar driving dynamics. I have a feeling your Ackerman's off as well due to your steering rod mounting points.
You can teleport the steering shaft to the front of the chasis and set the rack right in the middle no geometry issues, just rearrange the break/cluch cilinders, not that hard
Those pedal fluid containers can be relocated to allow for a steering shaft to position the steering behind the battery and solve some of your angle issues.
you CAN put the steering bars in the right place you just have to make a remote to the actual steering rack , can be done theres room for it too (wish was my oly concern the last time i mentioned it "put a bar in the right spot for the steering arms to sit level , put the bar in slider bearings and attach the steering rods to it , weld a sturdy triangulated arm to it connecting it to the steering rack in a way so it cannot flex only move from one side to the other and youre done
Take a lot of guts and willingness to learn to take on a project like that hell of a job young man. And I’ll qualify the statement by mentioning that I’m a mechanical engineer with several completed projects from concept to market. you’ve done well.
@@Boostedlifestyle I just went back to your Build bc I was wondering if the Next Part came out of this Series and saw this Comment, im Stoked for the Next Part aswell as V2 if it comes as a Video Series to Yt, Greetings from Germany ✌
For 3D printer, I recommend an Elegoo Neptune 4 Max. It's only $500 and has a large print volume of 420mm x 420mm x 480mm. I used it for printing large parts.
I’m curious if the clutch is slipping because of weight. I feel like it weighs alot more than a cbr1000 bike and that’s causing strain on the clutches just a thought and hadn’t seen it in the comments yet. Been watching your channel for years. Very very very impressive that you built that car in your garage learning everything on your owe and working on it so relentlessly. Great job 👍🏻
I was going to drag you through the mud at first. But after watching the video I have to say good job my friend! Stay safe and always wear that lid, the ground is harder than your face. Can't wait to see what's next.
At least that's bump steer in the safe direction (y) as you corner harder and develop more roll it steers out of the corner. That just means you must add more steering to counter, as you corner harder, you have to add small amounts of steering to compensate for bumpsteer - it's equivalent to the understeer direction - you'll just perceive it as understeer, it's fine
well you can lower the steering rack to where you want. just have a sprocket on the steering rack and a chain going up to where the input axle is placed.
i will say that if you don't put the battery on the front wheels then you could make provisions for a weight insert and that would be future proof since you can add or take them away as needed.
idea for your bump steer, keep in mind i know nothing about suspension. move the articulation point on the hub to the top side, sounds unconventional but its worth a check with a mock up or cad design
On piping they have mil tolerances when they fab it. So you can buy a 0.120" pipe and it actually be a little thinner. In some cases for carbon steel the mil tolerance has been + or - 12.5%. You do the math 0.120 - 12.5% = 0.105. Just FYI if someone else hasn't shared.
first time to the channel. Very cool. I think you will find the steering to be better if you would find or build a differential and ditch the live axel. She is going to be a beast to handle with the live axel on anything but straight drags. But I am very impressed with the build
I do wanna recommend buying a tire heating blanket that would go 250°C, and sorry if u don't understand Celsius, and when heating the tire, i do recommend set the temperature too 100°C bc the more the hotter the tire the more the grip
I have a concern about the tubes that make the junction between the front and the central part of the car because they are perpendicular and if their thickness is not sufficient, they may crash under the weight of adjacent parts look at the Ariel Atom which is made the same way, there is only one tube going from the front to the back of the car (they used 2 huge tubes, one above on the other to make the sides of the car connected by a simple trellis and the chassis is absolutely undeformable) apart from this concern about the solidity of the junction between the front and the central part, it looks nice this small single-seater
Haha, at 17:00 I seen the bolt on your shifter arm just undo itself and fly out! Good stuff Kyle! Really would like to show you some good ways to do molds for your fiberglass stuff. But it would be a long drive haha. I'll have to record when I do my CF intake cover and wheel liners.
This is the first video of yours I'm seeing... and you know how sometimes you can just immediately tell where someones from, based on a back alley haha What an absolutely incredible project though!
Dude I made a huge mistake and quit watching you and i am now so sorry because this is an amazing project im jelly! Also Kyle dude you are such a pimp, being brave enough to do a project like this and all the things you have learned is truly impressive my man! ❤❤❤
Good work, except I have some suggestions. 1. I don't know what kind of battery that is. Maybe it's vertical because it's not AGM. It's in the front, so it's good for balance, but there is no bracing that could protect it. 2. The steering wheels is also nice, but I would create a new design that has a plate that is at least rectangular that the wheel sits on. Much more surface that the Plastic would steer against. The bolts would then just hold the wheel on the brace. Other than that, your car is pretty awesome. I wouldn't worry about a lack of diff, go carts don't have them. Bump steer, tracks are pretty smooth.
It looks amazing but I just finished watching all the Fast and the Furious movies, and instantly got reminded of the Flip car from Fast and Furious 6. Nice work!
I'm first!!
w ur actually first I'm 2nd lol
She cheated that my wife 🤣
That's because Kyle is a gentleman

A bit late but when you're making steering columns with multiple u-joints you need to offset them in their rotation. Basically you need to turn one 90 degrees, it prevents binding at weird angles. It will still function but you will get better operation with them offset. Learned this from Mike Finnegan on Roadkill back in the day. Makes sense when you watch and feel the difference. Awesome build! You're doing great, can't wait to see the finished project.
Meaning on the shaft thag connects to both U joints, both Us on that shaft should face the same way.

28:00 the way it handles with a solid/live rear axle is great! I would have expected the tires to chatter & skip a lot more
For 3D printer, I recommend an Elegoo Neptune 4 Max. It's only $500 and has a large print volume of 420mm x 420mm x 480mm. I used it for printing large parts.
Move the steering rack from attaching at the bottom of the A arm, put it at the top to take some of the 'angle of the dangle out!'
I’m curious if the clutch is slipping because of weight. I feel like it weighs alot more than a cbr1000 bike and that’s causing strain on the clutches just a thought and hadn’t seen it in the comments yet. Been watching your channel for years. Very very very impressive that you built that car in your garage learning everything on your owe and working on it so relentlessly. Great job 👍🏻
I was going to drag you through the mud at first. But after watching the video I have to say good job my friend! Stay safe and always wear that lid, the ground is harder than your face. Can't wait to see what's next.
At least that's bump steer in the safe direction (y) as you corner harder and develop more roll it steers out of the corner. That just means you must add more steering to counter, as you corner harder, you have to add small amounts of steering to compensate for bumpsteer - it's equivalent to the understeer direction - you'll just perceive it as understeer, it's fine
well you can lower the steering rack to where you want. just have a sprocket on the steering rack and a chain going up to where the input axle is placed.
i will say that if you don't put the battery on the front wheels then you could make provisions for a weight insert and that would be future proof since you can add or take them away as needed.
Great to see you growing your 3d modelling and engineering skills !
I subbed i gotta go back and watch the beginning of this build now. I like the 3 point ancor inna triangle off the wheel hubs.
That's one hell of a project. I remember the days of the 4 turbo civic. Came a long way brother. Ready for some hemi fox action.
idea for your bump steer, keep in mind i know nothing about suspension. move the articulation point on the hub to the top side, sounds unconventional but its worth a check with a mock up or cad design
The steering tie-rod arms could have a bend in them to improve clearance. Very cool build! Well done!
Motorcycle engines and gearboxes work so well,for this kind of project. Sounds sooooo good!
I hope dude realizes how lucky he is with his wife’s interest and involvement in this crazy project. That’s amazing.
Good call on not putting the battery at your legs. In a crash, that might take out your feet. How do you put the transmission in neutral?
Just awesome! The noise at the beginning of the video kept me here. I’ll stay just for the rest of the noise.
This is way too cool my dude,
Looking forward to seeing it on track with the clutch biting as it should.
On piping they have mil tolerances when they fab it. So you can buy a 0.120" pipe and it actually be a little thinner. In some cases for carbon steel the mil tolerance has been + or - 12.5%. You do the math 0.120 - 12.5% = 0.105. Just FYI if someone else hasn't shared.
first time to the channel. Very cool. I think you will find the steering to be better if you would find or build a differential and ditch the live axel. She is going to be a beast to handle with the live axel on anything but straight drags. But I am very impressed with the build
I do wanna recommend buying a tire heating blanket that would go 250°C, and sorry if u don't understand Celsius, and when heating the tire, i do recommend set the temperature too 100°C bc the more the hotter the tire the more the grip
I have a concern about the tubes that make the junction between the front and the central part of the car because they are perpendicular and if their thickness is not sufficient, they may crash under the weight of adjacent parts
look at the Ariel Atom which is made the same way, there is only one tube going from the front to the back of the car (they used 2 huge tubes, one above on the other to make the sides of the car connected by a simple trellis and the chassis is absolutely undeformable)
apart from this concern about the solidity of the junction between the front and the central part, it looks nice this small single-seater
Haha, at 17:00 I seen the bolt on your shifter arm just undo itself and fly out! Good stuff Kyle! Really would like to show you some good ways to do molds for your fiberglass stuff. But it would be a long drive haha. I'll have to record when I do my CF intake cover and wheel liners.
feel like you should make the roll hoop much higher than what its at now to adjust for if ever it bends abit on case of a rollover
This is the first video of yours I'm seeing... and you know how sometimes you can just immediately tell where someones from, based on a back alley haha
What an absolutely incredible project though!
The driver location adds a lot of weight to the front end, helping with the weight bias, thus helping with the front end grip.
When homemade F1 has better sound than official F1´s.
This is EVERY mans dream come true!!! Great Job!!
this is awesomeee super cool cant wait to see it on track and some drifts
Love this series!! ❤ keep goinggg its looking so good now
Dude I made a huge mistake and quit watching you and i am now so sorry because this is an amazing project im jelly! Also Kyle dude you are such a pimp, being brave enough to do a project like this and all the things you have learned is truly impressive my man! ❤❤❤
Good work, except I have some suggestions.
1. I don't know what kind of battery that is. Maybe it's vertical because it's not AGM. It's in the front, so it's good for balance, but there is no bracing that could protect it.
2. The steering wheels is also nice, but I would create a new design that has a plate that is at least rectangular that the wheel sits on. Much more surface that the Plastic would steer against. The bolts would then just hold the wheel on the brace.
Other than that, your car is pretty awesome. I wouldn't worry about a lack of diff, go carts don't have them.
Bump steer, tracks are pretty smooth.
1st time seeing this. Congrats! Like a modern early 60s F1/F2 car!
It looks amazing but I just finished watching all the Fast and the Furious movies, and instantly got reminded of the Flip car from Fast and Furious 6. Nice work!
Great project :) If not already done you need to step the exhaust to create F1 Sound!
You broke the mold when you made that girl! 💚💚💚💃🏻
She like many women just let out her inner wild side and I embraced it 😁
