Ladies and Gentlemen, its OFFICIAL!

The gecko is no longer just doodles and dimensions!

Thanks to my amazing grandfather, it's now doodles and dimensions AND a pile of metal!

Thanks grandpa! I look forward to getting fabrication underway in the next couple of weeks

4Logic

well ive come up with a name for the "manufacturer" of the gecko. I have decided to call it "4Logic" or "FourLogic." It represents the four main ideas behind the creation of the gecko--Performance, Handling, Efficiency, and Affordability. I.e., the four logics.

so it shall be a 4Logic Gecko, or the "Gecko by 4Logic Sports cars"

like any of these?

New Parts!!

got some new parts.

picked up a mazda miata viscous limited slip differential (much smaller and lighter than the 8.8) for a killer deal, but after reading some things, im having second thoughts.

also got a pair of spindles off of a mini cooper for free from work. just need a good sandblasting and paint.

check out the pics, and note the difference in size between the miata diff and 8.8 diff.



i also sent the cutting list to my grandfather ( a master metal fabricator) and he said he should get to it this weekend. i can feel it now guys!
