MadMinor project

[cliffb75]

Hi All

Well to make my introduction on this new forum, here is my project that will (eventually) be VEMS powered  ;D

So, what do you get if you take one of these;


and one of these;


and an angle grinder? Answer..


At least I will do eventually!

So anyway, the story is in the following pics. First prepare your bodyshell;



The prepare your chassis;



You now have the main ingredients;



A bit of jiggery pokery (and a floorpan shortened by 9 inches) and you have this (that's not me in the pic BTW);







A bit more cutting and welding;









Target 400bhp and 800 kg. Fingers crossed I can keep the weight down!

I'm sure everyone recognises the body, and for those not in the know the floorpan is a Nissan 200sx s13. This has a 1.8l turbo engine, which once rebuilt with uprated internals will be good for 400bhp or more with a bigger turbo. The whole car will be fitted with a fully welded in multipoint rollcage and competition seats, suspension etc. The intention is to use it for trackdays, sprinting and hillclimbing, with a bit of weekend road use when the weather's nice.  :)

As you can see there is still quite a bit of work to do before I get to the stage of installing and mapping the VEMS, but I'm getting there.

This is just a taster of the work so far. Loads more pics and discussion have been posted at http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=219069
