minim4rt Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 Iv just got a 100E £50 roling shell from ebay to use as a clasic hotrod on the ovals but the chassis is a bit to bad. Shall i spaceframe it and drag it with big single turbo engine from my RX7? I just cant decide. Lots of work thoe.
Mark2Mark Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 It don't quite know how to say this but HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!
minim4rt Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Posted December 2, 2006 MMMMM yep i was thinkin that. Need to do some porting on it befor i put the engine back together. Just spent £1200 on rebuild kit. that is over 200 parts to go in the tiny 1.3 engine. God help me
Daveyboy20 Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 Yeah do it fella, those engines are madly complicated but if you know what your doing then do it!!! it'd be mean!!
minim4rt Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Posted December 2, 2006 Ah thats the problem. I dont. hehe Its just like a maze and im very dizzy and a bit blind with no sence of direction.

I'd love to say hell yeah, but the truth is if you don't know what your all about then the likelyhood is that the project will never get finished (or if it does it'll break your bank getting someone else involved. Best cutting your teeth on something more straightforward and save that idea for another day.
samurai Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 A big V8 will be nice in the space framed 100E
60ftman Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 A big V8 will be nice in the space framed 100E Yes yes yes. Big V8, loud pipes - you know it makes sense. Those rotaries sound awful on open pipes, and do you REALLY want everyone to call you a Wankel?
minim4rt Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Posted December 3, 2006 LOL. Iv had people call me worse. This project wont be to hard as me and my dad have built many cars befor consisting of f2 stock cars 2ltr hotrods and two kit cars from scratch. (i.e not actualy a manufactured kit) As for the v8, grate noise but been done to many times.
60ftman Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 Been done many times for good reason: Cheap initial outlay, Cheap replacement parts, cheap performance parts, easy to work on/diagnose/set-up, Rakes of them out there, oh, and the proper thing for an OSF! If you're worried about being too samey, why not put a mid-engined V8 in it with a trans-axle? With a proper frame & suspension it would handle superbly, and look the dogs to boot. I can just see a 100E wih a small snorkel-scoop out of the roof...... .......I'll have to stop now......getting moist!
