Re: homemade Sportscar,with a turbo.
cant remember if ihad read it or not, but have you ever actually ran the original against an atom yet just to shut those fools up on the other forum? I would imagine yours to be quite nicer on the track than the atom. maybe not the supercharged version for autox, but still... price wise yours has to be close.

Re: homemade Sportscar,with a turbo.
No, have not had the opportunity yet.
But be not fooled, The[That other track car] is formidable. They also have 5 years+ worth of playing around with it, to get to where the [That other track car]300 is now. So I'm not expecting to just be up there from the get-go. One thing I do try and do is, to do it all right from the start, The [That other track car] has so many little things that are not right... heck it took them what? 4 years, to figure out that having rubber engine mounts are actually not such a bad idea after all.
Yes it's a lot more work, and yes clearances are more of an issue.... that is what it's all about, doing it right from the start is never easy, but it's easier than doing it all over again...
As for price, I'm at about 42% of what a top model [That other track car] would cost me here, If I where to Buy one right now.... So There I'm afraid I will be losing the battle bigtime. I can't imagine what I will have to put in mine to make it worth a Mill.
a sneak peek at things to come.......
already busy designing a system for running a Late model RX7 and then later on the RX8 engines on a sequential 6speed Crashbox. This to become OEM for the Neo, once it is all sorted.

Re: homemade Sportscar,with a turbo.
i am guessing by saying "crashbox" you mean an automatic that you can shift sequentially? if it is like a standard manual but with sequential shift, what is it from?
