Cyclekart Auto Union first test drives and analysis. - things to do to improve. I started these videos as they were experimental built around the imagined suitability of MX5 (Miata U.S) MK2 anti roll bars to use as trailing arms for a Auto union style 4 link trailing suspension. I always had some doubts about the system, but overall it works. I think it can be made to work very well, time will tell. As for their durability, that will probably be apparent eventually. I include this video, like all before with thoughts. Be they correct or incorrect, I need to find out.

Neat project! Looking forward to seeing how the front suspension does after stiffening!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who prefers a dead pedal on the left and having both brake and throttle set up on the right.

The trouble I had with the brake to the left foot is that it gives me less control of pedal pressure as I find I have nowhere to brace during braking and acceleration. We usually drive manual (stick shift) cars in the U.K. (less so now than when I learnt to drive :-) ) and that means 40 years of muscle memory for my left foot to forget it isn't pumping a clutch :-)
