What a creation, fabulous piece of kit. I can't wait to see vids of it in action.

Now what you really want is 2 of those Busa engines and a welder and you'll pretty much have one of these:

Without the downforce unfortunately.
Would sound absolutely amazing though : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YAFMZyBPI4
Amazing work! Wow... i'm stunned! What a project!
700bhp one s about a 10grand ticking time bomb
Holy shit that's epic!
Priorities change, passions do not.
nearly as subtle as the Caterham in Evo this month. Take 2 ZX12 engines, one supercharger an a carbon fibre bodied Caterham. 500kgs and 500hp.
fucking mental.
MK1.5 - fixed - turbo technics hybrid CT26, ST205 charge cooler, XS power manifold and decat (not split yet) air con to be sorted next
Oh, and its now running thanks to Jiff and BSM
and I thought I was the only truly mad kiwi:D

It just looks mean as fuck doesn't it! Unbelievable PTW ratio. Yummm.
We believe (hope) that 600kg is achievable, remember that these only weigh around 1000kg totally standard. We have some fibreglass panels at this stage, but some will also initially be carbon and more once we have the body sorted.
To minimise weight we have (are) cut away all the unnecessary reinforcing including the sills, (which are very heavy & multi layered to make up for the lost strength in not having a roof) all the reinforcing around the windscreen A pillars, seat mounts, inner guards etc etc, even as far as cutting off the chassis rails at the shortest possible point past the suspension pickups...
700hp would be nice but we are after reliability, so are looking for 450ish. We have two engines and plan to build two complete rear subframes that house the engine, drivetrain etc so can easily swap the whole lot if we encounter a problem...or maybee a qualifying & race engine...
Chris.
PS: Check out this link for a few pics of our previous projects (toys) including 2006 Ford Focus with Falcon XR6 Turbo engine, Supra twin turbo powered AE101 Corolla Levins, BMW Z3, Mustang Cobra RA, plus GT40 replica & convertible Falcon...
