Did anyone ever build a Super 7/Caterham style S2k on the S2k chassis?
If yes, please post some pictures or links
If not, I' am in the process https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...df13be3257.jpg |
This is awesome!!! :thumbup:

Thanks man.
All unnecessary body panels will be removed (fenders/doors/bumpers) and everything else which is not needed for the operation of the car or the structural rigidity will be cut away. The exhaust was just still there for the pic, but is removed meanwhile. First goal is to get it under 2000 lbs |
So today I weighted the rear end.
Poicture is in kg but its about 496lbs/465lbshttps://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...b73bb02cdb.png https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...a98324bf6e.png |
I think you will be pretty comfortably under 2000lb.

YESSSSS!!!!!! I think this will be my next adventure down the road in a couple of years. Please keep this update so we can see your progress and outcome. Thanks for posting!

Hi Pastoli,
for the moment I didn't have the time yet to further work on the car since its more work than I thought but will definitely keep this post up to date. |
No, but here's an S2k in a Seven/Caterham style car !

Funnily enough I was thinking about this very same thing the other day. Sometimes I wish I had two S2000s so I could keep one stock and then go nuts on the other one.

I've been planning a S2000 engines "Seven" for years. I think the "Seven" chassis will be easier to work with than a cobbled S2000 body shell. I came close to ordering a rolling chassis from South Africa. Bought my S2000 instead. :) The month after I bought the S2000 my wife and I were caught in a sudden rainstorm in a big state park. Pulled off the road on a wide area and the roof was up in six (6) seconds and the windows in another second. Used a paper napkin go wipe the water off the dashboard. Glanced across the roadway at a parking area and there was a young couple struggling to fit a roof on their Seven. Raining too hard for me to go help.
