Wideness is not going to be the problems, and I actualy like the wide look. I had thought about a MCSorley When i was building a Locost.
Height is going to be the issue. The bonnet will have to be a lot higher than the standard bonnet as the driveshafts need to run close to verticaly between the hub and gearbox to avoid over stressing the joints. This is going to be even worse on 17's as that will raise the hub center. The scuttle is going to be lower than the nose ( and that may fail the IVA ).
( Look at thee Audi TT for an example of a front engined FWD sports car )
I was also wondering about the front shox and their location.
If you still have the query regarding the mushrooms then I can measuer the front strut of one of my MK1 2.5Si's sapre suspension.
Once my roadster is done, I will be using the 2.5 24V out of my MK1 mondeo in a seconf 7esq car, but with the unit tighlty packed behind the driver.
TT
