My Winter Project....

[EvilEvo]

Im in no rush :) The 4th of July is my goal. Could I do it sooner... Sure. But that may require slightly less trips to the intoxication station. I would like to have it out at the track before then but whenever its done it done :)

Dont feel bad about the wall either... My tires are big but steering with the front tires in the air is probably pretty tough :drive: Im sure Ill leave some paint on the walls also sooner or later.

Looking good guys. Very impressive craftsmanship here.

One question, is the girl friend going to get certified to drive it too?

[EvilEvo]

yes

[EvilEvo]

I got another scale today to see what this thing is starting to weigh.... with the body and frame mounted together and rear suspension / 4 link its a whopping 426 lbs. This thing will be light.

Lol, swanny. I'm even going to try and race my car this summer. Maybe we can parade up to brainerd sometime.

edit: have you weighed the engine/tranny and glass? or are you using plexiglass?

Wow, just wow! Damn it, now you are going to get me thinking! Now I may have a project for next winter... :banana:

It will have lexan glass... Rules make it 1/8" but I may go thinner on all the rear windows. I wouldnt think the "glass" will weigh more than 30 lbs for all of it.

When I shipped out the engine with tranny, pulleys, alternor, the big ass crate, a few tie straps, etc... it was right in the 425-450 range. Cant remember exactly. The tranny I think will weigh about the same as the stocker so I would guess the new engine, tranny and all hat should be in the 450 range plus 50-75 for the turbo and header.

The rear tires and rims are around 50 lbs, the fronts are 25ish so theres another 150 of rims and tires.

Then there is all the aluminum interior, the few more bars that need to be ran, front suspension, brakes, steering, etc...

My best guess for the weight will be close to 2000 lbs race weight, full gas with me in it suited. Im really not sure though... small things do add up like the chute, halon, seat belt, shifter, etc...

Who's building your engine, EnginTecs?

[BuildADSM]

I'm just at the first page but DAMN!!!!!!! that is sweet!!!!

Just wondering how did you decide to use your evo instead of a different one and keeping your for a different toy? Looks like you had ALOT of time into it. I'm not hating but just wondering.... I'm guessing money isn't much of a problem for you after seeing this.

What are you doing with the 10 PT cage? I say build a GO KART!!!! lol

[EvilEvo]

If I get some extra time and money I will turn the old 10 point into a go kart yes.

I am using my Evo because its mine... I dont have two :)

Yes I have lots and lots of time into the car... its something to do.

Money isnt a problem... I just dont have too much of it.
