Red car in Iowa

[Russell]

No, a modified 4k Toyota....trying to keep it old school. Built simply for fun. MX5 rear sub frame with diff moved 170mm across and a leaf spring to avoid shock towers, MX5 front arms, weighs 420kg.

Ordered my carbon clutch and engine is about done. Crazy wait for parts in these crazy times.
Next is looking for Motec parts and someone to help program engine and trans together.

Got paddle shift solenoids installed. Also received all the titanium to build the fuel cells and cans.

Engine is about done. Engine management system has arrived along with everything to make the wiring harness. Many less parts need to be acquired now. I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel just hoping it isn't the train.
