I got bored. So I bought a 1994 Dallara F394 (Formula 3 racecar). It's pretty insane. The entire car is made of carbon-fiber. Weighs 900-lbs. Powered by a Mugen-Honda MF-240 race motor (2.0L 4-cyl motor). Has Penske coilovers, Brembo 4-pot brakes, OZ race wheels, Michelin race tires, Mugen motor/ITBs/exhaust/CF restrictor airbox, Hewland 4-speed, Pi Research instruments... The car was raced by either Ralf Schumacher or Sascha Maassen back in 1994 (confirmed by Dallara Automobili, which driver unknown though). If it was Maassen, this car won Macau in 94. Senna's F1 engineer later acquired the car, threw out the Opel-Spiess motor and dumped in the Mugen-Honda powerplant. Anyway, trying to prep it to get it running. Hopefully I'll start training in it at a private racetrack in either late spring or early summer.

I'll be off-line for a month. Any questions will be answered later.

 

damn sexy! so when are you going to take it out to the tracks?

 

late spring/early summer

 

ballin doesnt even begin to describe you

 

no, most people call me insane

 

Congrats. Glad you finally got it!

 

Dude....

11/10 jealous right now.

What is the weight of the flywheel, and where does it redline at?

 

6500 rpms. What makes this car fast is the aero, not the motor

No idea about the flywheel. Hewland trannies are extremely fragile.

 

jeez, u ARE insane.... nice

 

I wish I could just by cars when I am bored.

make sure to post a video when you have it all up and running. Looks like a lot of fun.
