It's a steel spaceframe with GRP and aluminium bodywork. The prototype has a Honda Fireblade engine but the bay is designed to take most 4 cylinder motorcycle engines. The bay is physically large enough to take the Audi 4 and 5 cylinder engines/gearboxes (and possibly the V8) but I don't know if there'll be much detail for the car engines. The diff in the prototype is a Sierra unit modified to chain drive, I'm hoping to include modification details for the Ford escort/fiesta diff as well. The front and rear uprights are fabricated to take ford hubs.

The GRP will be available from Triton and 3ge are going to produce chassis parts and plates.

Cheers

Chris, do you know when? Spring, summer or autumn?
