This really is seriously amazing stuff....what on earth to you do and think about in your spare time???
What's spare time?
Cheers lauren, i'm making a new front bulkhead for the cabin which will be a very strong box shape with unboltable panels on it for engine access.The plan is then to put heat foil etc on the engine bay side of the panels and as much sound deadening on the cabin side as i can.It probably won't be the nicest car to drive, i'm very real about that, it's handling could be all over the place and i expect it to tram badly and have ridiculous amounts of oversteer but for me it's more about the challenge of building it than how it will drive.
Heat build up is also a major concern, i have a passenger side engine bay vent like the drivers side and will probably run a few spals in the bay.
I agree on the ABS, i will probably leave that off and just learn to drive! My E36 325 kicks in way too early although it has improved massively since i fitted better tyres.
God knows how this will turn out.
