    there's a good anecdote for this situation. Walt Disney who was a great pioneer of animation asked people if he could animate human characters in full color. he asked bankers, investors and even his co-animators if this investment is worth millions of bucks. everyone said no. but he did. the product, the first ever cartoon animation-"snow white". he even said "If you have an idea, push it even if others don't".

    now even people ridicule their fellow saying we're 30 years behind of automtive technolgy, then how are we going to even start if everyone is being negative. furthermore, we can narrow that technological gap if we start right now. if we don't, we won't acomplish anything at all!!!

    all i'm saying is we've started something here and we're gonna finish this till the end. at the very end, we can laugh at those who didn't believe in us.

    OK. back to design..

    What would be the recommended suspension travel for the front.

    eto kasi:
    tires: 225/85R15 --> dia = 381.75mm unladen
    solid tubular front axle: 3" dia --> 38.1mm radius
    4JB1T height: 750mm
    recommended space around engine: 2" --> 50.8mm

    add them all up + (suspension travel - 2") = front hood height

    recommended overall vehicle height: 1800

    1800-front hood height = windshield height

    if suspension travel is 10", windshield height becomes approx 325mm
    NGEK!!!!!

    inputs!!!

    hmmm...

    maybe smaller wheels and lower suspension height or higher roof would do the trick. hirap nmn kapag visibility is limited to one foot.

    dropped front axle beams..the ones used on hot rods can give us 4 more inches of space between the axle and the engine oil pan..but it would take away 4" of ground clearance.....would a 6" susp travel for the front do good?

    smaller tires wont look good on a 3050 wheelbase and 1800 roofline.......

Heck, we can’t even today build from scratch an original IBM PC! So we must be at least 26 years behind in computer technology!
    Oh definitely, we are at least 26 years behind in computer hardware technology. That is why there is no Filipino made computers around. That is the reality.

    Safeorigin, you even got your story wrong. Bank of America did lend money to Walt Disney to finance his Snow White movie endeavor.

    Plus, Snow White was not Disney's "first ever cartoon animation". Please check your FACTS.

    30 years ago there were no internet, no chatrooms, no email and no forums like tsikot...

    all i can say is Tsikot.com as an online community is here to help and to give a venue for visionaries to interact, share ideas and work together.

    The reality is, may mga tao pa ding di nawawalan ng pag-asa na mayroon pa tayong magagawa... now comments and criticism are welcome ... bring it on... but this will only make the group stronger. Pinoy tayo lahat dito... sa mga panahong ganito,,, support is very much needed.

    maybe we are 30 years behind in automotive technology, and 26 years behind in computer hardware technology.... what are we going to do now... just sit and do nothing?

    This is an advocacy and Tsikot.com will definitely support it 100%

    And just how do you define a Filipino-made computer as against a U.S.-made computer as against a Chinese-made computer? Are Chinese-made Dell laptops American? Are Thinkpads still American or are they now Chinese? In the end, would their core functionality be any different?

    But let's say for argument's sake, for whatever the term may imply, there is no Filipino-made computer. Did that prevent the growth of a robust local IT industry?

    Do you realize how many people are employed locally in pertinent industries? I think the number may surprise you. Actually I think you will be shocked at how many local IT firms are servicing international accounts and at the size of those accounts.

    The fact is that your reality is no deterrent to the achievement of Filipinos who are not bothered by such irrelevant issues. It is a matter of mindset. Those who aim to achieve will always overcome difficult situations. Those who are too timid to even take the first step will always hide behind any convenient self-serving rationale.
