Tube IN TUBE construction, at key stress points for superior strength

 

How you make a flat bottom and it's setup to run a "sucker" bottom too

 

the cabin is sealed from the outer shell so air can be run down the inside of the car to duct into the coolers and out the back for minimal drag



Here you can get an idea of how the air will get down the sides



as you can see you are sitting in a bath tub of tubes protecting you in event of a crash (even more tubes are added after the above pics)
the TUBE in TUBE technology in key stress areas will keep the tubes from bending. The tube is welded inside the other then the chassis tube is slid over it and welded again. This is an incredibly strong tube now but it is also light weight for the strength

the entire car is over built as I want it to do Rally racing and be able to take a hit in door to door

yes that's a R56 steering rack. Will have 2 modes of steering just like the stock one


the amount of adjustability in the car is pretty amazing. So much time has gone into the geometry of the arms. I seriously can't wait to drive it. For those that know suspension geometry I think you will be amazed when you see the cycling of the control arms and how it works

 

Custom Bell Intercooler 18"x14"x4.5"




Hood is vented to suck the air out and over the car



Couple more sponsors : Driven Steering Wheel and Mastershift paddle shifters

 

Quick update on the fuel cell. It's back from the bladder maker, Aeromotive dual pumps installed with filters, fuel sump baffle/foam, drain etc. It's E85 compatible too

 

Parts of the custom intake manifold







custom 300M axles , intermediate shaft and input shaft

 

RMW custom intake manifold complete for the 2.0L
Really nice to have room in the car to build a proper length intake runner

 

I hope to be giving rides at Mini Thunder
