AWD or 2WD? A little more on the engine and transmission setup please.

Please do not scrape the idea, I believe there is a market for an entry level kit car, especially one that is more of a modern design, not another cobra replica. I do agree the idea of keeping it simple and just use 4G63 as originally planned. There will be always someone somewhere hating the...

No need to be defensive, I believe Fran is trying to be secret about the design until the revealing day. I asked the same chassis question before and never really got a straight answer. Maybe they are still testing it and working out the kinks, or maybe they just don't want to give away the...

Hi, just wondering if anybody is going to this event this Sunday? I really would like to see some SLC up close, hope at least one of you might show up :) We will be leaving NorCal Sat afternoon and have a couple cars riding along HWY5 going to the location, feel free to let me know if anybody...

So... any chance of peeking the chassis + engine bay yet?

All looks good, but a car isn't just about the shell. So how is the frame and the driveline coming? Can we have a glimpse of that pleeease? :)

Ok, so I send my cheque to? :tongue3:

Actually, all my friends and I always said the subaru engine sounds like they are misfiring the whole time, hence for that "loopy" exhaust sound...

That is not correct, Evolution 4-9, the engine turned 180* but the exhaust manifold + turbo is still at the front of the engine. That means, if you use it as a mid-engine or rear-engine, those are going to be facing the firewall. People usually use 90-92 (6 bolt) DSM engine is because it has...

Oh my... the clay model look so great... and it fits 19 x 12... oh my... Is that headlight from a late model Celica? Looks kind of similar...

"Tuner" is definitely not equal to teenagers. I remembered when I started to mod Mitsubishi more then 10 years ago, I was doing with a bunch of older and very knowledgeable people. We do call ourselves tuners because you literally have to "tune" the car to squeeze out every last drop of the...

Exciting, really can't wait... So for the 6 cylinder setup, which engine choice are you putting into consideration? 6G72? 6G74/75? Would there be enough space for twin turbos? Also would a 4 cylinder be optimal design for the car instead of 6 cylinder? Like weight distribution, rear...

You guys can argue "replacement for displacement" for all you want, but Fran already mentioned this is going to be a small and light car with a 4 banger with LOW COST in mind. Yes, 6G7x(TT), VG3xDE(TT), 1JZ/2JZGTE, RB26DETT are all very very nice engines, but I don't think GTA is using them...

2350, Bob. Honestly, it's hard to guess because of the different options of your donor car, e.g. moonroof, leather seat, and all that good stuff. But for a full interior daily driver, I would like to see 2300lb ish if that's possible, or close to 2100lb after weight reduction. So that will...

Very cool! Would you let us know which transmission are potential candidate? I am assuming it's 2G T/E/L transmission mounts, and specifically the FWD one? Had the automatic transmission ever been discussed on the drawing board? Great, I need to dig out my spare head and block and send it off...
