Message To me the primary component of a hobby is the enthusiast effort not just the results. Great results are accomplished by making lots of mistakes along the way.

I like what he did to the intake plenum, but for all the work he should have made a new surge tanks and adapter new throttle bodies. Personally I am with him I have always wanted a clean plenum.


The rear wheels simply do not work well, contact patch is reduced due to the rear camber. I like to see the wheel pushed in 10mm, or the rear fender actually fabricated to fit the wheel. He seems handy maybe picking up an English wheel would be right up his alley :-)

The spring rates are way to high for the weight of the vehicle and are serving as mostly bump stops. I am thinking the "Low and Slow" is the message being received but "Fast and Menacing" is what is intended, something got lost in translation.

The seats look great do they still allow for rear entry? Not sure but I been wanting to go to a 2+2 for stability of a longer chassis and carry my kids with me as well.

My take away point is admire the skill work and attention to detail and ignore the functionality of the build. My simple thought would be at least turbo it, or mock up a pair of Rotrex C30s superchargers on it.
