your anti-roll bar is upside down... be a shame to have the car up the right way and realise then. I did the FC subframe conversion a few weeks back on a right hand drive car with a 12A Turbo engine. It was a real bitch getting everything lined up perfectly. So glad I made loads of measurements before I started. Supported the bottom of the collum by making a bracket that secures to the pedal box bolts on the bulkhead. There's a little work involved to make sure the shaft can't move up and down, but will still collapse if there is a front end crash.
Loving your build Norwegian Rotary, fantastic to see such innovation. I'd be very interested in a set of fiberglass wings if you have the time to make them. The summer is not that far away now, good luck!

I'm sorry to tell you that with my configuration on the steering and front suspension, i need to have the anti-roll bar upside-down from what's normal on an FC. This is beacuase I have fabricated all the atachment points etc my self, so i get it as i want it to be, if I put it the other way it will hit the motor when the suspension is all compressed.

As usual, well done
Are you going to make some barriers inside that beautiful oil pan, so that the oil won't sloosh around and aeriate ?
Why not just go all the way and have a dry-sump set-up, just a flat plate under the motor with a pick up or two for the oil-pump ?

I am running a flat oil pan, but the little part you can see i have made is just a small pan on the backside of the oil pan for picking up oil easily..

The dry sump pump is finaly installed on the motor, I finished the bracket for the pump this evening..
I modified the stock bracket for the servo-pump so I only have a small piece of it left.
Here you have the pump on the motor, also with the drive-belt
From a different angle
