I found this on another forum I belong to. The car is a one off but the owner and builder want to start production. The car is now in West Palm Beach FL. Have a look...

I had a phone consultation last week with a person who is building one of these units (or will be very soon). Looks like I'll be designing a 2316cc combo for it using my V2 DTM cooling system and our Evil Twist headers along with a "Raby Sport FIVE" transaxle.
The design has plenty of room for my V2 DTM cooling system. I think 220HP with an RPM range to 7,800 will be a good fit for the chassis. Hell I want one! Whats funny is these pictures showing the twin exiting exhaust system.. I KNOW that engine is losing a minimum of 20HP and tons of efficiency and tuning by not having a proper 4-1 or 4-2-1 collector. Dune Buggy mentality, gotta love it. This post has been edited by Jake Raby: Mar 24 2011, 11:02 AM |

QUOTE(Jake Raby @ Mar 24 2011, 08:51 AM)  Dune Buggy mentality, gotta love it. But that is the right name for it. Yeah, it may have a road suspension, but a lot is just the same. A space frame cage car built around a VW. I vote that all drivers wear big flare trousers with silk paisley shirts to set the tone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Oh, and yes, it is cool. |
