First, does anyone know whether the racefab listserv is alive and well?
and, if so, where it is now located?

Second, I want to start a new project aiming toward an E-mod car. Aiming
in the sense that I start with the right basics and upgrade the power as
I go along. I am thinking of something on the order of a Lotus
7/Westfield - at least that size.

My question relates to options for the rear uprights. I want the car to
have IRS and I am going to start with a Subaru/Datsun rear diferential
with limited slip (a very inexpensive beginning). What rear uprights
would work well for a home constructed IRS suspension layout (home
constructed with the help of a local race car constructor)? I have used
Triumph GT6 uprights on a previous project, machined to take larger
bearings. Someone suggested uprights from a 280Z (but I thought they had
rear struts?).

For starters, I will have 13" X 7" to 8" rear wheels.

Any suggestions from those with more experience/knowledge?

Keith
