Mride C42 turbo BEC sportscar
Hi!
My next project has now started- I´m going to rebuild my two seated MRide T42 turbo trike to a formula like sportscar.
The Engine is still the same Suzuki GSX 1000-R turbo bike engine with 300hp @ 1,1bar boost. The Mride "T"42 stands for
Trike, and Mride "C"42 stands for Car.
The 3-wheeler have dubble wishbones and Pushrod suspension in the front. So it will be the same at the rear. The total weight will be around 540kgs +
driver
I´ve started to make a TORSEN chaindrive differential.

This is a scetch I´ve done to illustrate the Mride C42 turbo sportscar.

So why the move from 3 wheels to 4?
I was thinking of doing a self designed 3 wheeler next so would be interested to know your reasoning.
Looks like a tidy project

At a guess, with 300hp, a severe lack of traction from one wheel?

Another unbelievable project Micke...
I have every belief that it'll turn out aswell as the first! 
Good luck and keep us posted.

How does the differential cover you have TIGd up seal against the ring gear plate and diff side?
Does this whole cover rotate with the differential when locked up?
Any fluid inside the diff?
Ta, Chris.

Wouldn't four wheels mean that it's a car and hence illegal to drive ? (power to weight ratio thingie they have in Sweden)
Can't be SVA'd can it ?

Hello everybody! Thanks for all the kind words!!
Yes! The reson why the redesign to a car, is just TOO MUCH POWER!!
The 300hp is just not doing any good under 200km/h.
The performance isn´t so bad as a 3-wheeler= 0-100km/h in 4,5sec, 0-200km/h in just under 10sec. And brakes 1,1G and corners like a locost seven. So
I´m not disappointed at all- It is the most fun vehicle I have ever driven. But it´s just SO frustrating to know that I can use twise the power from
100km/h without sliding and burning rubber, if I just had more grip..
I have terrible fast friends that is awefully close to leave me behind  I just can´t let that happen!!
So, more wheels= More traction,= More Acc, Faster cornering and better brakes!!
It will be better in every way!!
The Torsen diff is taken from a -92 Audi V8 who is the only audi car with Torsen in the rear diff "I think". I TIG welded together the
diff "housing" in ALU. The housing will be bolted with 3 M6 screws in the side flangs. I will seal the housing with a oil resistent
silicone. Yes, the whole thing is rotating the same speed as the chain sprocket.
I will fill the diff with grease as a lubricant. Hopefully that will work fine!
I forgot to mension that the topspeed will be reduced from 290+km/h to 237km/h. There will be a huge differense to launch = before the 1:st gear-
142km/h. Now it will go 115km/h in the 1:st!! NICE!!
I will even redesign the gear shifter to a mecanic paddle shifter with a Dyna-tech shiftcut. And Alot of other things too. But I have to do the rear
suspenson first.
This is the TORSEN diff.

HI! Yes, that´s right. I can have 15kw/100kg as a car. But I don´t see it as a problem. I just perhaps leave my rotating scilencer at home that day..
or add alot of wheight..... It will be Road legal!

I checked out your site,do you have any info on your plug creation? What type of material did you use, and what methods helped you maintain symmetry?
Thanks

Or you could just add a lot of lead ballast on SVA day

Hello! To maintain the symmetry I had to measure, measure, measure. I had the chassis to go out from and to some parts I did templets in thick papper.
I made the Body plug from cellplastic. It will melt if you put thinner on it.. So you have to seal it from melting. You can look here on my web site-

Very nice work.
Im just wondering where you sourced those blue bearing carriers for the diff from?

Looks superb
one word of warning tho...
I have destroyed 8mm ally plate with a 90bhp Kart Engine (rotax twin)... (may have been 6mm now I think about it)
Keep an eye on it, as the diff will be under a lot of strain...
Looks like it will be a lot of fun when its complete..

Agree on this point, also there will be some lateral forces, if not just from cornering - so will need some sort of cross bracing on the plates to
stop the diff moving side to side I would imagine?

Hi! Thanks for the tip! Yes my plan was exactly like that. I will fabricate a "sort of" X bracing at the back of the diff between the
plates.
I send more picts later when it´s done,

Hi! I use a stainless steel version that I bought on a boat store. Nice finish but not cheap....

Hello! Here is the "Bolt ON Reinforcement KIT" I made this weekend. I think it will work really great!
What do you think?
