Anyone have any pics of a completed Formula Four? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

chvyhs · 01-17-2007, 05:22 AM

I've been searching and I can't find a finished Formula Four. I probably won't be done building mine until the end of summer this year and I would like to see a finished one for referance. Has one competed in competition yet?

Here's mine.

(I finally uploaded a better pic. I just can't figure out how to resize it.)

I don't believe one has been completed yet. Mine is still in the beginning stages.

What chassis number do you have?

I've actually painted and mounted the chassis since this pic.

What did your wheelbase end up at?

FYRDUDE · 01-18-2007, 03:57 PM

A guy in our club just completed his. Will get some pics. of it and post 'em up.

chvyhs · 01-19-2007, 03:41 AM

I still haven't set the wheelbase yet. I should be between 116" and 120". I have F005.

I can't wait for pics. How did he do in Comp?

Thanks

chvyhs · 01-19-2007, 03:55 PM

In the picture I added to the first post you can see the wheelbase is still stock. I have enough room behind the front tire but no room in front of the rear tire. Once I move the motor, tranny, and t cases back I'll have a better idea of where I want to put the rear axle.

Deek01 · 01-31-2007, 11:16 AM

If you don't mind me asking,,what is your stock wheel base?

I'm just now gettin all the parts together so that i can start the Formula 4. right now my doner sits at 112"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Never mind, I found it in your other post.

thanks.

chvyhs · 02-01-2007, 07:15 PM

My stock wheelbase is also 112". I"m just planning on stretching it out to 116"-120".

Baddawg775 · 02-08-2007, 06:48 PM

Does anyone have any interior shots of a Formula Four?
I would like to see how you did seat positioning and
how much leg room the rear seats have.
Thanks.

chvyhs · 02-09-2007, 07:19 AM

I just picked up my front PRP seats yesterday. As soon I can get some pics up, I'll post them. It looks like there's going to be plenty of room for four adults in there.

Well, where are those pics dog????

chvyhs · 02-09-2007, 09:49 PM

Here's my new seats. Not really a good pic of how much room is left in the rear, but there is plenty of room back there for two more seats.

Here's some pics with the seats in it.

The spare is on top just to save space in my garage. I think I'm going to move the chassis foward about 2" from where it is now.

Whatever is stock for a LWB '81 Toy. 112"? Standby, I'm getting a couple of days off this month. I should be able to get a lot done before the end of the month.

It's about time some one posted a picture. Do you have any details on this F-Four?

Any details in paticular you want

. Most everything done on it is like the rest of the regular F-Toys.

chvyhs · 03-07-2007, 06:42 PM

What spings and shackles did you use? What is your belly height with what size tire you have on there? How high did you mount the tube chassis above the frame? Did you move the driveline up or back? What problems did you have building it? Do you have anymore pics?
