MAPSmotors 1st off welcome to the forum. Looks like a well thought out project, sound like it will handle like its on rails. How much does it weight? How much HP/TQ? A Mazda Wankle rotory engine it will be a rev monster, that's differant. Sounds like fun. It's good to see some photos. Good luck. 3836bbl/Budnicks

Budnicks, thanks for liking my car! To be honest, I haven't weighed the car yet but we estimate it to be around 1500-1600lbs. The motor should be around 150hp. This makes for a pretty fun power to weight ratio.

This car is a lot of fun but already looking to create another one - generally speaking will be based on the same principle but this time mid-engined and all Subaru based (power and gearbox).
