anyways get the clutch done n atuator sorted and lets have some new power figures and videos please, top work and il be keeping me eye out for this one, also have you any plans on running it down the quarter? would love to no what it can do in street trim with that power
just a question, have you done much strengthing to the shell? how well does the chassis take the power? i will probly seam weld one if i do build it but id like to get away with not caging it if i the chassis is good enough with just some welding and strengthening plates if needbe
The extra room is hard to find but can be done
Its nice to do different projects that are unique. Your idea is pretty cool. I will run it for quarter mile when i get the chance. All that holds me up on this project and moving it forward is money!
It's fine mate.. It needs some braces - I haven't got any at the moment!! I want to put in a top rear one and bottom lower one as I think that'll make so much difference to cornering on top of what I've done now. Not sure I can fit a front top one in, unless I get creative!
Since I've been carrying around the show gear I've left it in the boot, about 30kg or so. Makes it much more stable at high speed. Think I just need to soften the rear suspension for road use to cure it without the extra weight.
