I liked the pics but it was a bit hard to see, lol.

The only thing I noticed & might change (based on a very brief look) is that I might add support bars along the back of the passenger compartment going from the base of the transmission tunnel to the roll bar support by the outer edges. I assume the tunnel is support across the bottom of that space as well?

Looks like a fun project.

Kind of random, but that bugeye sprite is a guy who races in my local Solo2 AutoCross region. The car is a bugeye sprite body with a 20B rotary (3 rotor from a Eunos Cosmo). Very sick car.

Perhaps by moving the aft A arm pickup forward the engine would fit? I would get a good look at how the green sprite is layed out, considering it's a three rotor. It looks like it handles resonably :wink:

What is that horrible grinding clashing sound in the video at first I thought he was shifting but no it's something else, Anybody?

not sure. if he has a multi-plate clutch it could be the discs slipping as he rolls it to the line.
