naptu2:
Some don't even know that 2 separate cars were featured on this thread.
Should I continue, now that I have gotten the comments that I wanted?

Right, let's continue from the portion that I left out of the Bennie Sternum.


Specifications
340
Horsepower

440
Nm Torque

4.2L
V8 Displacement


Chasis

With sketches and blueprints drawn, we embarked on chassis fabrication using a
combination of steel tubes and other alloys. Employing arc welding, brazing and
fasteners to create this balanced framework of trusses for the Sternum.

Engine, Steering, Braking and Suspension System

After the framework was done with, mounting all the components was our next move. At this stage, we installed the engine and transmission system. The engine is a 4.2L naturally aspirated V8 engine with 40valves manufactured by Volkswagen-Audi but tuned by our team producing 340hp. The suspension system is a modified independent and double wishbone suspension in the front and rear all mounted on a truss with hydraulic pumps to enable a variable ride height function. Both suspensions work with a single damper & spring system.

Miniature Model

To get a clear image of our design, we created a miniature model to help us learn how better to approach the clay model of the life-size of our vehicle. Using clay, we created this miniature to understand the intricacies of the design better. it also helped us appreciate the importance of clay modelling to fibre and carbon fibre design process especially in perfecting the tiny detailing of its exterior – taking into account aerodynamics, balance, aesthetics and uniqueness of the design.

Chasis Drive Test

After assembling the car, we went to our test ground in Jos to test the maneuverability of the car and its integrity. Paying attention to steering, braking, drifting, and handling at different ride heights and making adjustments and performing recalibrations and repairs after each test day to get the structure and systems right. We did these tests severally after each milestone in modifications and corrections till we got the right numbers and performance response from the car.

Live Size Clay Model

Having seen the design and what it looks like on the miniature version, we went on to create a live size clay model that will serve as a mould to cast fibre into. Using high quality treated clay, the live size was moulded and all the exterior features were carved.

Fiberglass Forging/Casting

After the clay mould is properly carved to reflect the exterior details of the car,we went on to apply fibre glass which is the process of laying the mat,mixing gel coat,applying polyester resin and demoulding when it set.

Tribalist spotted!

This is Good Atleast from the Reports.

If this was happening in some region, they probably will have overhype it.

Well Done Mallo.
