Wow, that is very very cool.
Interesting that you've stuck with the RB26, if you're running a drag auto box and rear axle I'd have thought an American V8 jobby would've been an easier way to go. Big respect for going with the RB though, very nice installation. A dumb question if I may though, why does moving the engine back improve chassis balance/reactions? I'd have thought that with plenty of rear grip, (big drag tyres, fuel cell over the rear axle), having the engine further forward would stop the front lifting. Or is the car okay from the wheelie point of view, and moving the engine back increases the weight over the rear wheels further to increase grip?Best of luck with the project, and please post up some more pics when you can, this looks like a very interesting car. ![]() |

I love that bumper.
I think it looks good, couple of little touch can sort the car out "look" wise, but then it wouldn't work as a drag car. a nice little side skirt, rear duffiser, and a "tiny" drag wing on the back for aero aid (and looks like you will need it), the car will look proper HARDCORE. Oh, get raid of those wing mirror, probably will take otu .3 second on the quarter with the amount of drag those board make. ![]()

Note that the hood is still the original GTS steel hood
i just cut off the lip and made a airoutlet on it there`s no plastics or Carbon anywhere on the car except for the front spoiler. it`s FRP (it`s a homemade copy of an old Trust front) BTW ,we are thinking about taking the car over to the UK next summer where would it be best to come ....TOTB ? or something? |
