	Building a Sevenesque Sports Car
		To distinguish Ron's design from other sevenesque cars, Ron adopted the name "Locost" (pronounced 'low-cost') to reflect the similarity with the Lotus design while reminding us that building a sports car from the ground up can be accomplished on a minimal budget.
		Today there are hundreds of builders around the world that have created, or are in the process of creating their own sevenesque sports car with nothing more than basic shop tools in their home garage.
		In addition to full CAD drawings of the "book" design to assist the Locost builder, this website contains drawings for alternative designs, an interactive 3-dimensional model of a sevenesque chassis, a comprehensive list of builders from around the world, and step-by-step documentation of a sevenesque design through the assembly process.

	S. Srinivasan \| Ashoka.org
		By cutting production costs and eliminating the middleman, Srinivasan and LOCOST are able to sell drugs directly to voluntary organizations that, in turn, provide them to their customers at below market, far more affordable prices.
		LOCOST itself makes a profit of about ten percent on its products, compared with an average of fifty to sixty percent among the mainstream drug manufacturers.
		Once capital expenses are repaid, Srinivasan's new unit will be able to run subsidy-free and increase the number of drugs it produces to eighty, more than eighty-five percent of the drugs listed by the government as essential for primary health care.

	Untitled Document
		As the Locost is considerably shorter and narrower, use of the stock frame is not possible (though one builder supposedly modified his Locost frame to accept a modified Mazda PPF), but a suitable locator must be used just the same.
		With the shortened driveshaft and narrow center tunnel of the Locost, there is no way to install such a brace, and the Miata rear end simply hangs in the back of the Locost on two rather stout bolts.
		We'll also be taking the Locost to the test track later this wek for some shakedown, and generate some initial acceleration and braking data.

	Locost chassis build
		There are many different ideas floating around on how to build the best Locost, so I don’t think that any two cars are really identical.
		Unfortunately they removed their very realistically priced Locost chassis plans from sale due to the high cost of public liability and professional indemnity insurance.
		First up I built a solid table to provide the level surface required for the space-frame construction, which also gave me a good chance to practice my cutting and welding skills before launching into the serious construction stuff.

	Pete's Rotary Locost
		The Locost was developed by Ron Champion, an Englishman who was a contemporary of the late Colin Chapman.
		A Locost's performance is very much dependent on choices the builder makes as he creates his or her car, and that's much of the fun of the building.
		My donor RX-7 came with independent rear suspension, the bits from which can be used to construct a de Dion rear axle, which has a low unsprung weight itself (being just a hollow tube), and can facilitate the mounting of inboard rear disc brakes.

		Unfortunately no one with any race experience has had the chance to push the car and highlight any areas for improvement, so Lt Scott, from T45 IPT and experience kart racer, was offered the opportunity to use the weekend as a development drive.

	THE NOSE CONE Robin Hood Engineering
		At this point I would like to point out the major problem that all parts suppliers to Locost builders have, with the varied choices of construction that the Locost builder has (even if building by the book) each finished car will be different.
		It is important that at an early stage the Locost builder plans his route with regards to the engine options, the steering column, pedal positions, seats, fuel tank, etc.
		In fact, many Locost builders are using parts purchased directly or indirectly from official and unofficial manufacturers of Colin Chapman's cars which is the bible for an authentic looking Locost.
