Im building one right now.

I had this in mind for years. So after selling my Ariel Atom, I found a nice donor car and I'm working on it.

weight goal is 850kg's

Has anyone else done it already since this Thread is over 10 years old!?

 

Building what? The link that was posted 10 years ago now points to a second gen Camaro.

What is your project?

 

im not rferring to any link but to the original poster who asks for an open wheel S2k.

and im on the was there, no windscreen either

 

That's not open wheel.

 

not yet. I just started the project

 

whos avatar?

Not sure how much weight you’d really save by doing an open wheel front. You’d have to really chop some frame to get it in far enough.

Windscreen gone. It’s the wave of the future.

 

the front not so much, but the rear

 

As mentioned, the Ariel Atom is the open wheel, all street practically jettisoned, track weapon being described.

But not everyone can afford such. But a close second might be a Lotus 7 clone kit car. They don't look very impressive, but they sure do generate impressive numbers, and the ultralite nature makes them very fun as well, very tossable. There is even a kit that uses an S engine and trans, though that one is not cheap.

 

I know, I just sold my Ariel Atom, the drivability is nowhere close to the S2000 chassis. Too much weight in the rear.

the I looked into other options luke the super 7 replicas, way not safe enough due to their minimalistic chassis.
the only one I would want is a dokervoort DB8 but thats over 200k.
or a Lotus 2-eleven / 3-eleven.

but not sure if the engine would be as much fun.

so I'll give this a try.
for sure it wont be as quick as a wcm superlite or westfield with F20 bit it should perform well with 800 lbs less and give lots of fun

 

Looked at ffr 818 kit?
