WE HAVE GOT TO BUILD THAT THING!!!!!! >:D
Can you imagine how well that would sell. I have the shop and the knowledge, I could put that in production easily. I would use a turbo H22 with a similar frame with a small windshield. Otherwise it would be the same. All I need is investors and we could start a small sports car company like Panoze. You may think I am kiding, or crazy(I am a little crazy), but I am serious. If perople can sell motorcycles that start at $30,000 and go up to $250,000 we could sell a open wheel sports car that can out run a motorcycle for good money. Who is with me on this?

Re: Its seems that everyone is using Honda motors on custom cars, VIDEO
i have never watched that video before.
i did see the one with the lotus exige though, and it was the same two guys that were hosting it. pretty cool |
Re: Its seems that everyone is using Honda motors on custom cars, VIDEO
thats awsome~~!!!!! i want to build one too!!!1 ill help you CCA!
|
Re: Its seems that everyone is using Honda motors on custom cars, VIDEO
cool car but evrything is a ------- option when you buy it. Like windows for example, and the windows you get dont roll they are stationary. The optional top kinda sucks too. Good rich mans toy though.

I could drop 200. I also have several shops and a few empty warehouse's. And I can make really pretty welds :)

Re: Its seems that everyone is using Honda motors on custom cars, VIDEO
$250 and a dream. Its not much but its a start. I am dead serious people. What is there in the automotive world right now that really stirs your blood? What would you go out and buy?
Not much. Even the "EXOTICS" are all lame now. Ferrari and Jag are owned by Ford. Lamborghini is owned by Chrysler. VW ownes Rolls Royce, Bently and everything else. Even Porsche is geting lame. The world needs a car to get excited about and this thing kicks ass. I was thinking about it all day. Everything to build this thing is right at our fingertips. A Honda front clip gives you the motor, trans ECU, wiring harnes and rear suspension. Wheels and tires, brakes, seats, guages, fuel cell and steering wheel are all off the shelf parts. The frame and front suspension are the only trick parts on the car. The front end can be had from a number of sorces from the race and street rod world and the frame is not a big deal. I could get a prototype up and running in a year or less for under $10,000. I have experience in custom sports car building with a huge background with Jags, BMW and Porsch. I also have two mechanical engineer friends that would help. So why not? |
Re: Its seems that everyone is using Honda motors on custom cars, VIDEO
I was also thinking about it all day. The part I loved most was its from a company with 7 employees. I would just LOVE to wake up and have designing things like that as my job. ----, I wouldnt even need to be payed. Designing it would be its own payment. Im a Mech and Civil engineer with a biomed minor. Im just waiting till I get the start to go into business for myself. Cars and design is what I love. My job now is what pays the bills.
To show you how much of a design nerd I am. I just ordered "design and Simulation of 4-Stroke Combustion Engines" -Blair- This was before I saw that vid..It was my off work entertainment. |
Re: Its seems that everyone is using Honda motors on custom cars, VIDEO
i would really love to see somebody build something like this. my only concern would be weight, obviously a lot of the handling and power is in the weight, the atom car only weighs a little over 1,000 lbs. i was thinking more along the lines of a turbo hayabusa motor or something of that type. >:D

Re: Its seems that everyone is using Honda motors on custom cars, VIDEO
There is a UK company that builds its own crank and crankcase to merge 2 HB engines into a V8. I think boosted they got 1000hp for race use at like under 200lb with tranny. Your gonna pay race price though.
The best P/W honda car motor seems to be the S2000 at like 240hp and like 275lbs. Then again, you could do a DART block buildup with a forged bottem end for reliability. You can tell I thought about it before... I was surprised how neutral it was for the engine almost being cantilevered over the rear. I always thought when I built my custom tube frame car it would need to be mid engine.. |

What about a lotus 7 with a s2000 motor. Not as bad ass, but it would kill anything on the road. And I've seen them built for way less than $20G.

Re: Its seems that everyone is using Honda motors on custom cars, VIDEO
Yawn.
I have seen it all before and I cant afford any of it. Can you? The stuff I could afford like the Mustang, I wouldnt buy because its Ford junk. The same old Viper and Corvete. I already have a truck and I dont want a Cadillac. This is where it comes down to personal taste. I have seen and done it all, I have owned 400HP big block muscle cars, turbo 4 cylinders, V12 Jags and every thing in between. I went through a British car faze, a German car faze and I did the V8 buba thing. I am board and want something different. I can't be the only one. |

Re: Its seems that everyone is using Honda motors on custom cars, VIDEO
That little open wheeled roadster would ---- up any of those cars on the track. The only thing that was close to it was the enzo by a few tenths of a second.
Besides if I had money to drop on a NICE car I would get a TVR. Something that is actually well made. |

Re: Its seems that everyone is using Honda motors on custom cars, VIDEO
The atom is a track car, or enthusiasts' car. If you need a car to get women, well you just a sad person.....
The TVR Tuscan Speed 12 https://www.fast-autos.net/tvr/speed123.jpg found an interior shot. Not one plastic or vinyl is used in here. http://www.fantasycars.com/derek/car...0speed12_6.jpg Engine Type: V12 Displacement: 7730 cc Horsepower: 800 bhp @ 7250 rpm Torque: 650 lb-ft @ 5750 rpm Redline: 8000 rpm 0-60 mph: 3.5 sec 0-100 mph: 6.3 sec If you need a car for women, you could a lot farther with this than any domestic. Unless your trying to pick up some ghetto fabulous booty with gold teeth. Then perhaps a caddy. |
Re: Its seems that everyone is using Honda motors on custom cars, VIDEO
Obviously we can't count on Random Strike to invest. The more I think about this the clearer the vision becomes. The powerplant will be a Subaru WRS STI motor and trans. I would like to stay with Honda but a factory 300HP and a 6speed is hard to resist. The motor trans layout in the Subaru is perfect for a mid engine set up. The motor is flat and ahead of the trans for a low center of gravity and good weight distribution. Unlike most front wheel drive setups where the motor is over the trans causing it to be tall and wide. The Subaru also has a reputation in the racing community that will help people take this project more seriously. |

Re: Its seems that everyone is using Honda motors on custom cars, VIDEO
I am going to do a separate post for this so we can see how many people are truly interested. If people are serious about investing I will set up a escrow account and start taking money. I have the shop space and can start collecting parts and building a frame jig. We will do weekly updates on the build so every one can see where there money is going. It will be just like buying stock or investing in a company. You will wait to see what comes and how much money it will make. The amount of your original investment will determine the amount of your return. The finished prototype will be used in advertising to sell more cars and dividends payed to investors from the profit from those sales.
