New Project
Hi All
I'm Lee with the 500speedster (uklee70) I can't log into my old account for some strange reason.
I was up late on the bay last night and bought this shell!
I have always loved IMP's and have been looking for a shell for a while. Sods law it comes up when you have a 90% finished project on the go!
Now what should I do for a chassis
I was thinking of buying a single seater to rob the front and rear suspension from as this is going to be a track car. I can't be bothered with
the IVA.
then engine I was thinking of zx14 or going for a twin bec set up with the mille 1000 top of my list as they are dry sumped as standard and this still
makes it a 4 cyl car.
I love projects like this but I must get the little 500 finished and through it's sva re test.
What are your thoughts ?
Lee

That looks interesting... 
I recall IMP-PAUL having clearance issues upon installing with the length of the ZX12-R engine, you may want to communicate with him before you go any
further.

Saw that in Martin's workshop, very impressive, a very clever man.

Hi I was looking at the shell and had a thought bad idea
could I fit a scooby engine and running gear in the shell for a 4wd rocket
what do you guys think as the running gear is so cheap to get hold of
so get a chassis built to take all the scooby bits
thoughts please

Hi has anyone got any good sites for the scooby
I need engine dimentions and suspension
detailed drawings anything you have would be really helpful
I Know this will not make te car mid engine and if I go the scooby way I will move my posts.
If not then mid engine with a single zzr14 or twin aprila mille engines to the chain dif
same as the R1 mini and the current 500 speester
