any ideas welcome with regards to all aspects of another car views on things that can be inprooved / done diferantly to book spec?

As for why i am doing this to be honnest rarther insane thing i am one of those people who needs a project in my life and with my other half being in the forces and away for long time periods i need something to do with my time.

Just like the rest of the insane amongst the forumites here Tilly,Why not go mental with the/a single seater !!! :cool:

[Tilly819]

i had considered a single seater very much however i really enjoy taking people out for rides and scaring the crap out of them which you just carnt do in a single seater also when going to shows etc the pasenger seat comes in really handy as a boot.

A single two seater then,like the Furore.

Friend of mine built a Ferrari replica in 1990 fom scratch and no plans, Kwaka 1300 motor and Honda civic box.

Passenger sat behind where the airbox went, FAF and scary handeled like on rails.

[Tilly819]

another good idea though i have it in my mind that it will be another 7 like the haynes just with some detail changes rarther than a concept change

cheers tilly

Rear engined as discussed here before,move seatback rails forward,feet where engine should be and use Audi/VW engine and box.
Front of engine to centre of d/shaft relatively short and 225 bhp is standard on TT engines given the right engine code, BAM etc.

[Tilly819]

now that i like i had thought about this a wile ago makes for a very pewerfull mix
certainly am idea to put on the list

tilly:D

Its been done, went to NEC few years back and saw DAX Rush with helicopter in it, got pics somewhere looked brill see if I can sort them out and post.

[onedayTM]

me again, should be heli copter engine, that would be something if you got the whole lot in.

Type 9's dont take a lot of SHP (shaft horse power) :p

[twinturbo]

I had a V6 type 9, it had destroyed it's input shaft gears.

It had previously graphed 256BHP though :p

Personaly I would not expect one to last any time at all over 200bhp , and only then on a turbo engine where torque builds higher up the range.
