    a) they don't use AutoCAD,

    b) its unlikely you can find actual CAD file for them....

    I really doubt any exist, it seems like a pointless task for anyone outside the actual team and up-to-date information is well protected.

    Just look at photographs like everyone else does or make your own drawning.

    Up to date? I could not care if it's 19days old or 19 years old.
    Why would I be looking at photograps? Then I stil have to do all the work myself and I don't plan to unless I have to.

    As nobody seems to be understanding spi, I think he means what's attached.

    Not understanding or just ignoring?

    I suppose there is some kind of service charge?

    If this is some kind of school project you really should be anyway, if its not shouldn't you enjoy the challenge? What do you need these for?

    Is it not a chalenge to actualy find drawings? the bonus is that I will save some hours. I nead them for private garadge project.

    Actually, some still do and many of the older files are AutoCAD. The chassis designer I know still uses AutoCAD for some work (FF, FC chassis). He started off using Paper 1.0.
    This car was done in autoCAD

    This one was done in Paper 1.0

    The guy at dpcars.net has an Ecad file of this track toy. I wouldn't recommend copying his geometry but you can get a very good look at what he has done.

    Perhaps a good question is what do you want to do with the drawings?

    How is asking a forum in any way challenging? If you do cad drawings for a living I'm sure you can knock out some suspension in a couple of hours.
