    Noy a GT40, but trans advice appreciated!

    I'm with youi now re the manometer... great idea. Some of the Impreza are pumping out well over 300 bhp with turbo torque to match. They are built for abuse and enjoy Jap reliability. It was just an idea. Obviuosly it's not a good one or we'd all have Scooby 'boxes in our cars...

    Just a though - has anyone ever used a Subaru Impreza trans. Surely they must be very strong to take lots of turbo torque and rally abuse?

    I'm suddenly very excited! I love the look of that chassis - especially as all the suspension design & geometry looks to be sorted.... I wonder if there are plans or any dimensions available, or anyone who owns or has built it with valuable experience? Wow - what a gold mine find - thanks...

    Cheers... It's an interesting progect. I love air cooled VW's and have restored them before. I love drag racing. I love V8 muscle and have owned several Corvettes over the years. I love mid engined high performance cars, I was lucky enough to own an Anniversary Countach some years ago when I...

    Thanks for your replies, must be rather tedious to advise a none GT40 owner. Looks like the Audi unit is the one to go for then. I am reasonably skilled in terms of fabrication and welding so actually phisically building the chassis holds no fear for me. Unfortunately, no-one makes a mid...

    suspension

    Hi everyone. I am building a mid engined tube frame chassis for a '64 Beetle. Sorry it's not a GT-40. :o I have been trying to find a way to calculate the suspension geometry for a while. I have a slim grasp of the basic suspension theory, but do not know where to start in terms of...

    Hello everyone! Sorry, I don't have a GT40 (although I'd love one one day...). :o I'm building a mid engined spaceframe chassis to house a chevy small block for a road going '64 VW Beetle project, but I don'y have thousands of $£$£ to spend.... :o I have read lots of differing opinions...
