Not sure if this is the correct spot to post, but I'm looking for a Renault 5 turbo. I've seen one posted here in the past, so I'm curious if anyone has any leads for another one. Condition is not important, so long as it's mostly complete. I'm really looking for a project quality one, but...

I don't think that idea will work looking more into those bell housings. Those are for dirt track cars. They don't use conventional transmissions with clutches. There's no way to use a clutch in it. Maybe use that idea, getting a full custom bell made, but I think that'd be more work and WAY...

That's not a bad idea, I hadn't seen a bell housing like that before. An adaptor plate on the Ferrari block and that bell, then you can use a standard rwd trans without a transaxle.

I wasn't sure if this thread is a transaxle topic or a wings/wheels/keels topic. If I misposted it please move it or let me know know.

Thinking out of the box on this one. One project I want to get around to is using a newer Ferrari v8 in a front engined car. Reed51 has a very cool thread about his idea, but I have a different idea and want to hear all the possible downsides. Ferrari v8's don't have the room to mount a...

Any progress?

I'd love to have as many photos for reference as possible. If its not too much trouble, I'm sure many here would love to see the pictures you have. Thanks again

Wow! Thanks for the pics. I've never been up close and personal with any of these so this will help a lot when it comes to the details like which panel sits on top and such.

Please do. I would really appreciate it

Fair enough. I am using soild rivets with Hysol epoxy as my adhesive

Probably not but I am WAY guilty though. If I haven't done a burn out or had the rear end come around at least once during a commute I get bored.

Thanks for the fast responses. I am not comitted to using 6061 T6 but I do worry about 5xxx aluminum being too soft. Again, I am not an expert and am simply using the little knowledge I have. I would use 2024 if I could source locally. I am always looking to save weight in my projects, but not...

I've been bending some test samples out of 6061 T6 and do see super fine cracks on the OD of the bends themselves. Is that an indication of the metal not able to withstand that bend? Is that "bad"? Is there any allowed amount of hairline cracking?

What tire do you run? I'm looking for a 13" plus width and choices are slim unless I go slick or DOT drag tire

I received my 930 trans, kennedy adaptor, and clutch set-up this morning. I'm pumped to see it finally. Started my chassis blueprinting this weekend, reverse engineering a mclaren m8 chassis to get the dimensions. What tires do you guys run? I'm looking for wide 15" rears, thinking a 13-15"...

Would you recommend a weaker clutch as a safeguard? Would inverting the trans affect strength in anyway? I wouldn't think so, but people here have far more experience than I do.

I looked through all the posts and couldn't find the answer I am looking for. I apologize if this subject has been discussed prior. I know the Porsche 930 trans is pretty tough. I know this is going to be a very open ended question, but just how tough is one? It's not going to be drag racer...

I am starting a scratch build Can-Am Mclaren. It is not going to be a 100% authentic copy, but I would like it as close as is feasible. I have the fab experience and tooling needed for 98% of the build, and a grand image of what the project should be. My plans are a Porsche 930 box, American v8...

Similar but not similar enough. Biggest difference is the Fcar is a flat crank and the Maser is a bent crank
