Looks great Chuck, yellow looks crap on anything except Lotus 7'ish cars and Ferraris when it looks great.

Noice, would like to see what you are doing with driveline along the way though ...

Priority is to get it rolling. Engineer wants it rolling before applying to motor registry for "permission to build". That locks the registry in to registering it.

Looking amazing Broseph! I'm not big on Honda's but isn't that the CR-V motor?

Looks great Chuck and good progress. :thmbsup:

I can't understand why you're not getting much response here, darn interesting build guys and Chuck won't bother without a little ego polishing ...

Looking really good. I like the front suspension set up. So how are you hooking up the rear? I see you are in Newcastle, is that just below Sydney? Anyway, great job.
:cheers:

Sorry Chuck, but one reason you're not getting much traffic is that you are posting your pics to imageshack. It takes so long to load the pics that I give up usually and click back off.

I think it's a great build and worry about your hard mount of the engine tranny. I think it looks cool and will be effective, but I've done that before in cars and it was miserable to have to live with.

What do you mean hardmount? The drivetrain will be nolathane (don't know if you guys get that stuff over there) mounted and insulated
