wow that looks so much like a co-op I had going like 10 years ago with a few guys from aus and nz. except we were tring to do this with stock parts except the tens bar and mounts to the car. great work.

one thing was brought up about my previous idea but it shouldn't be too hard to fix up. and that was the transmission point dropping too. but all we would need there is just a custom spacer. But that could be in the kit buy, if you wish to have it lowered this spacer would be provided with it.

I'm back.....I will try to get some videos ans pics of the F1 cars up in the lounge this week.


Now back to the topic. The engine sits in the stock location. The crossmember lower section is stock, meaning zero loss in ride clearance. The engine mount could be modified or the mounting bushings changed to move the motor for and aft or up and down if you like. We probably will not go down that road, but as you can see, it would not be that hard for you to make it happen.

Lets hope so. I would like to recoup some of my R&D cost :)


More info very soon. I believe we will launch the product with a group buy.

super interested, just need some thought on my application re engine mount location, I like the idea of having them relocateable

sbibler 06-28-07 10:47 PM

Add another one to the "very interested" list. :)

dj55b 07-29-07 06:22 AM

Any Updates on this Billy?

82transam 08-01-07 09:24 AM

Apparently not ;)

Re-Speed.com 08-01-07 11:14 AM

Sorry, been super swamped and missed the last question in the thread.

All part cost have been established. Retail price is almost established, waiting on a few numbers from hard part suppliers.

The system is everything we hoped and more. Bump steer looks great using the stock outer tie rods. The race guys have a rod end outer tie rod option. Uses stock lower control arms. Can be purchased as a modular kit, meaning you can purchase the cross member only and upgrade the rest later.

More to come.

+1 lol!

dj55b 08-01-07 11:47 PM

So you'd say maybe within a month or so everything will be done? Can you give us a ball park figure of the price maybe so that we know how much to save up. I should be swapping things from one shell to another soon, so if I can afford this right now, I would only need to do the swap once instead of twice.
