What is the car gonna be doing ?
V8s everywhere ... be afraid ... be very afraid ... haha ...

3, 4, 5 seconds for a 0-60? Even a low 10 sec 1/4? Who cares! Just think of getting there in a skateboard with 300hp bolted to it! Its all about the fear factor I reckon.

Still going with the project.
Getting the gearbox mounted up to the engine at the moment and trying to use the cosmo bellhousing and a lada clutch/mazda flywheel - still looking for a flywheel.
Any one know which flywheel fits? It needs to be 320mm diametre including ring gear and i have the counterweight.
Going through the certification process. Design is the hardest one as it is hard to draw something you have never seen!
Getting there though. Still hunting for a computer option - any ideas? Megasquirt seems to be the one but will it run the spark on a 13b-re? Need help on that one - also looking at the wolf 3d.
Pictures will come when there is something to look at!

Just an update.
Got a S6 flywheel and a S4 clutch and pressure plate and G/box has been sent to the machinists to get some alterations done.
Money is a wonderful thing when the tree grows good.

my car is getting there slowly. spent a lot of time sourcing parts and making bits. Got the front end sorted out - macpherson struts. Made the 4 link in the rear and working on the watts linkages now. And waiting on cage specs. in new zealand we have to have a certain spec of cage and a club membership to be able to put a cage in. I need one as i havent got any chassis rails and will use the cage for tortional rigidity as well. engine has its to4 in a box next to it and a microtech is on the way still trying to decide how far back to mount the engine to centre the weight a bit more. Do you know your weight bias front/rear?
I'll get some pics up as soon as i get another camera (other one died)
