------ awesome. I never saw this post until today. I was actually doing some research for a project i am developing that will be very similar and stumbled upon this. The only difference is that it will use a Honda engine. I was debating using the h series transmission as it is cable actuated but after seeing your simple solution i am back to thinking B series. My goal is to have the entire car weigh around 1200 lbs and have about 500 rwhp. I need to get some engine measurements and start my cad modeling then FEA analysis. If you have a chance to get this thing on some scales i would love to know what your weight distribution is like.

NICE WORK!

I might have missed it but would you also be able to mention the track width and wheelbase? I am also curious what size wheels those are! I have many many many questions but that will suffice for now.

Based off of similar cars i have seen built i would guess between 14 and 18 thousand.

nice car, why didn't you put more racecar-looking wheels on it?

more or less $22K yes, depending on the exchange rate, and not including all the work. this is however the prototype, and the time spent on it makes this one way more expensive than that.... but nr2, 3, 4 etc will be much cheaper than the first one and faster to build too....

track width is 1.9m
wheel base is 2.26m

these rims are 15j6 with 30mm offset.
