looking at those pics, i,d say you,d be fine with a type 9 tranny tunnel , tho you may need to move the passengers side of the tunnel in a bit, just to clear the starter etc, but as yours will be right hand drive its not a problem for you.......

Type 9 tunnel me thinks, :) ;)

cheers

Hmmmm, me thinks that will work brilliantly. It looks like there is superb ground clearance and very low centre of gravity - all the weighty part of the engine is very low. I would think you would need a bigger fuel tank, I understand teh rotary drinks fuel like it's going out of fashion. The builder in that thread looks to be doing a superb job. Those rose joints don't come cheap, looking at some of the other build parts he aint doing it on a budget (me and Andy share one thing in common - we are both tighter than a duck's arse, which as everybody knows is water tight). Looks like a superb job, put's mine to shame somewhat.

Right found another build here. http://www.clowar.com/gallery/v/Locost/ looks like hes done a good job and the chassis looks stocko :D

All i have to do now is just make sure the donor car has a T9 box not a MT75
