I believe Mason is putting a v10 in his build right now. His thread has very good posts about the frame modifications needed.

I thought it might be one of yours Allan. Did the building come down on top of the car?

i know, it looks really bad. it looks like it had the carbon fiber seats and maybe a supercharger. The declared value is crazy high, so i suspect it was very high end one. The rear rims look wider than stock too, but its hard to tell from the photos. Someone has to know who built it.

Anyone know who's it is? Looks like a really hard front end collision. https://www.iaai.com/VehicleDetails?itemid=36118888&RowNumber=&similarVehicleItemId=&isNext=&loadRecent=true#stayhere

I have looked at the few photos of the 962 on Fran's site and I thought the same thing, just plenty of room there to work with. Plus it just looks amazing. But really no room up front for what i can tell for a front drive. It would be a RWD only, but I could be wrong. Also, getting it road...

So I do not think you are going to need to go WOT for 45 min to see 200 MPH, my calcs using a conservative 4900 pound car, 0.39 CD and 18 sqft drag area, get me the ~400 hp for 200 MPH. Keep in mind I have no experience going these speeds, so I am working for text books. Down force really...

Yeah the Tesla drive is actually a motor on one side of the gear box and inverter on the other. I have removed the inverters for clearance, and moved them in front of the rear wheels.

So here are some sketches I have been playing with. All are done in sketchup, i am doing some more formal ones in fusion360 as I have time. Mostly this was for clearance checking and just to see if the idea is feasible. The chassis is drawn from a 3d scan provided by Mason S. In this...

I will post some of my drawings when I get to my home computer. You can do it, but it gets tight real quick.

Frank, Would love to hear about your math on the EV batteries. I have done similar for a SLC with dual tesla large drives in a RWD set up (800 kw peak, 180 kw for 30 min easy with 9 ton active cooling), and 4x tesla small drives in AWD configuration (960 kw peak, would probably be pack limited...

So I follow a few of the YouTube builders, and for many of them a SEMA build often end up being a car that looks ok, as long as you don't "kick the tires". Most are not what I would consider road ready, some barely run. I think a small team could get that SLC to look like the renders, and...

sure it could be fixed, but at what cost and how good would it be when done. a new rolling chassis is what 10,000? I offered to buy the chassis to use for mocking up a AWD front end on it, but never heard back from him. I bet it gets sold for aluminum scrap. bob

I really dodged a bullet not getting that car at the price the auction went for. I knew it was going to be a big project, but after seeing how bad it was damaged, it really is a start from scratch situation. I suspect that motor is in trouble too, rotories don't really do too well after high...

Sure Are. I have been playing in blender doing R18 LMP crosses with the SLC for the EV SLC project I have been working on. Surprisingly you can get the LMP style front end to line up very well on a SLC. The problem is the air channels the LMP cars use. The SLC chassis is just to wide for the...

So Gary did not wreak it. It was sold to a guy, who Gary has said was 'kind of a know it all', who lived in NJ. The wreaking was most likely from the second owner, given the car was registered last in NJ. Gary claimed to have had it over 200 mph on the track I believe....so she could hang I...

15,800 plus fees. Say 17,000.

Yeah I saw it. It looks alot worse than I thought it would be. Probably as bad as some members said it would be. Now I feel I dodged a bullet for sure. I'm surprised they didn't do a compression test after the atf was added. Really tells you all you need to know. I missed out on two other...

yeah, its really not worth the hassle. For what ever reason, I was not supposed to get that car. Bad mojo, who knows. I look at is a opportunity to put a different project in the build calendar. I am leaning heavily to a pure EV SLC, AWD 800-1000 Nm torque, with front wheel vectoring , 250...

So, I think you are being honest Freddy, but I also think the autobidmaster is completely lying about the situation, probably to both of us. I have attached a screenshot from my phone 1 hour and 1 minute from the close of prebidding (right when I placed what became the winning bid). I have also...

Hey Gary, if I had got the car I was going to look you up. It looks from the photos that a owner after you moved the air to water ic to a different location. The car was also listed as a "Biohazard", usually this means blood on the inside from the accident. Any chance you are still in contact...
