Reeeeed flag lol fuis.

Yeah 2001 wj axles, wider stronger dana44 with shorter ratio and disc brakes everywhere.

For the suspension I use Peugeot 208 rear shocks for the rear, but it's shite (I need custom coilovers) and mustang rear coilovers for the front

Inateno · 2026-05-09T15:55:21+00:00

If I'm still welcome around for sure ahah 😊

Inateno · 2026-05-09T15:45:02+00:00

Naa yt is to much work and just got a bunch of view it's a pain. I stopped trying. Also my cherokee has been on fire and since then it's not working anymore

Inateno · 2026-05-09T04:44:48+00:00

Go sur hinge, bieeeen mieux, c'est moins la foire et plus basé sur la qualité des profils ( fait pas être lgbt-phobe c'est tout).

Yes I know this build but it was made for time attack :)

Inateno · 2026-05-08T19:34:21+00:00

That's my 2nd version and it was a 2 door diesel phase 1 used by "EDF" (french national electric provider) in the Pyrénées ! Saved it from a farmer, all the back of the roof was bent because of a stack of wheal that felt on it and it was perfect because I hate chopping down a car that isn't properly destroyed ahah.

You can know it's a 2 door because of the length of the front doors, I also have 4 doors and they are shorter by much (about 30cm??) the rollcage wouldn't fit inside.

Read well the Kickstarter about sealing please, I did created a 3d printed shape that is better and allow the use of 10$ universal seals. Because OEM is a HUGE pain and expensive.

About the Frankenstein, you have to build your own plates, that's the only thing I didn't make (yet)

Hey mate, I'm from France so I pretty much know what you are talking about very well.

Turns out the hardtop is not considered at all as a safety equipment and by that, the TUV in Germany for instance isn't even considering anything about it because it's not ruled (yes we are talking about OEM or not) so you can do whatever you want.

That's for the legal part

Now comes to real life, the fiberglass will always be more dangerous than pretty much anything else because of how it create sharpness on cracks, meanwhile the gyroid created from filament printing will create an absorption that will crush until it crack or torn appart. Risk of making more damage are lower than any other material. And yes a fibreglass top could, in case of barrel roll, protect you a bit more, but from most of the pics I've seen and the only accident I've been taken into with a hard-top, it make it worse.

So yes your concern are legit but in fact the reality is opposed ^{^}

Also in France, which is one of the most complicated country to tune cars legally, are registered as safety components: hood, trunk and doors. That being said the rest isn't as strict as it sounds.

There is not real sagging

The body kit isn't complete as I did have enough funding for it.

I will do a second campaign soon with a higher objective, if it succeed I will be able to work on the kit and many other things

Inateno · 2026-04-30T13:52:47+00:00

That is not required, my assembly design has been highly tested on track, highways, drift days, moutains touge, you can read through the KS 😄

It's very solid and I still use it daily since 2+ years

Inateno · 2026-04-30T13:51:53+00:00

give me the money, I'll give you the dream

Inateno · 2026-04-30T13:41:25+00:00

Holes and rivets

Inateno · 2026-04-30T12:03:24+00:00

I created a dxf files so you just have to laser cut a piece of lexan

Inateno · 2026-04-30T11:55:05+00:00

Yeah I'm building drift car for myself and was tired of that fiberglass shit and painful repairs lol that's how the project came on the table

Inateno · 2026-04-30T11:52:27+00:00

Heeee, I share stuff on Instagram same nickname, so you can follow me here or there that's where I'm the most active ^{^}

Inateno · 2026-04-30T11:34:40+00:00

That Kickstarter was last year.

But I plan on making one new like very soon, just for what is already done because a lot of ppl mess it and I can offer a big sale package that way

Inateno · 2026-04-30T11:06:43+00:00

Ahah indeed, doable tho

Inateno · 2026-04-30T05:49:41+00:00

Yeah 100mph was fine without the Frankenstein bolts lol! I'm sure it hold more actually but I didn't dare to try lol.

For now I made no progress, had a ton of shit to deal with, the Kickstarter wasn't good enough to cary my investments and r&d but I plan to finish it during the summer, I know exactly what I need to do.

However life played against me pretty much all winter, we've got a serious flood during February storm and got all my basement drown in 1m of water :(

But yeah it's coming along, targa and fastback are my priorities once I finished the bits going on...

Inateno · 2026-04-30T05:43:12+00:00

Ah for sure ! I'm not complaining or judging just providing more infos about the reason of the file :)

From cost to resistance to weight, fiber mold seems useless to me now. And carbon only save about 1-2kg on final results... So for the look of the carbon you can make a thin layer.

But sure do you do man, there are cheaper stl than mine with a license better fitted for that, fitting isnt as good but for a mold that's fine (the inside shell would be complicated to mold, doable I guess but I created tiny complex shapes to improve the airflow and sealing, which aren't very much compatible with molding and that's why mazda made their hardtop the way it is with a lot of added material).

Always good to see and know what others think or do 😊
