steve, your right, with me in the car it will have to power to weight of a push bike, but it will get some attention when i stop and take the bonnet off.

fook me.
awesome, esp that it all fits nice.
how you gonna keep it cool? front ends of kit cars are nightmares to fit rads in.
thats gonna blow the tyres away so easy, id deffo go for a mega high diff ratio.
tho then again, if thats the viper ratio T56 (which is longer than the others) it will be geared for 200+ with most common diff ratios anyhow.

becuase of the lack of weight, i am looking at running a 2.73:1 diff ratio, that combined with the tyres i plan on running it will do
1st - 61mph
2nd - 92mph
3rd - 126mph
4th - 163mph
5th - 221mph
6th - 327mph
6th = 54mph per 1000rpm
i know it won't get anywhere near the top speed of the top gears but i may as well use as few gear changes getting it to its top speed what ever that is, i want to do over 200 if i can but i don't think it will have strong enough bodywork or aero dynamics.

i wanted to run power steering, but as it uses a mk1/2 escort rack, its hard to find them with power assist, some of the rally escorts have power steering but i can't find where to get them, if anyone can point me in the right direction please do, spent hours last night searching, other option is the vauxhall electric power steering setup.

I think we can get away with lowering the engine a bit yet and maybe a higher seating position will also help with that problem.

Good suggestion Topic changed now

If you saw the size of Johns arms you would not worry about PAS lol

Looks insane Let me know when you're testing it on the roads.... hopefully you're not the other side of Kent from me, (Maidstone).
