WOW, I just read this thread and this is amazing. I hope the project just didn't die out.

Edit: Oh I just read the thread on E28.com and he's in school.

Race-trim should be around 1600lbs, road spec will be more in the region of 1700. That includes interior amenities, sound system, and... thats it actually.

Any ideas of what your weight distribution will be? I'm impressed with the 3d model.
I too am thinking on doing a similar project once i have a garage at my disposal. I was actually thinking of going with a lighter engine such as an m42 and do FEA on frame structure to achieve the best strength and power/weight ratio.
As well as 50/50 weight distribution, or closest.

Any updates on this beast?

Super Impressed!

The effort and determination to see this through is awesome.

I look forward to seeing this thing at the track.

You got my support 100%

I promise this project isn't dead, it's just been dormant with full time work and all.

I know its been a year, but dont give up now! you're in the home stretch almost!

I would never think of giving up, let alone this far in!

[sbeckman7]

Any ideas on the exhaust you will run?

Side pipes, and if I can fit a crossover (H-pipe) under the oil pan I will do so. Otherwise its just going to be the stock 3-1 headers with two pipes on each side. Four bike mufflers and [maybe] cats.

[sbeckman7]

This is awesome.

Thanks, I think so too :)
