can't wait to see the track of progress

uhhhhh.......what is it

 

The car is a Locost 7, a clone of the Lotus/Caterham Super-7 type cars. I am using a Miata based IRS chassis sold by Coveland Motorsports. My build will be very similar to Keith Tanner's miata-based build, which you can find here:

except that I will be using the F20c + s2k tranny, mated to the miata torsen diff with a custom driveshaft. The hubs/brakes/axles will be from a miata.

There is an article in C&D this months about Locosts, and Keith's is featured (the orange one)

awesome job brian! Can't wait to drive it Hmmm...1200 lbs, 240bhp = faster than everything.

 

There are some vids of the Miata based one here:

I will have the same suspension and braking system, so assuming that I am able to get it setup right, it should handle in a similar fashion.
