the reason im using cf is that weight is the moste important factor in a car like this the reasone the atom preformes so well is that it weighs 500 kg dry basicly theas kind of cars are great becaus of extreamly high power to weight ratio this is also why i want to use rotary engiens

as fare as the turbine gose i was considering puting in an existing turbine but scraped the idea becaus of fule eficency so instead im basing my design on mini turbines i will try to explain the reasoning behind this gas turbines turn at incredably high rpms ie 50000 or more they are actualy...

for this kind of thing im thinking the pre fab parts will be strong enough they are yoused for scafolding i will definitly be asking for recomendations straight from the company the complicated orientation of the fibers in the matirial is why im going to use pre fab parts if i made it frome...

"http://dpcars.net/(click on the atom on the list of cars on the left) This guy has a Arial atom that he took apart and added a hayabusa based v8 into. He decided that many of the chassis parts that Arial initially designed were terrible designs and redesigned them to be safe." that is absolutly...

jorge0136 using preformed carbon fiber tubin is prity simpal its just like using tube steal except you use an adheisev instead of welding just like welding the adhisive is stronger than the matirial. it would definitly be better to make it out of one peace but desinging fiber layouts is...

my main concern with the carbonfiber is that it will be to stiff and crack the reason im concearnd about the moter cycal exahusts is that they usualy handel out put from a 700cc engien not two high performenc car engiens other words im slightly concernd it will be like trying to force a huricane...

theas are some links for the arial atom the first one is thear offical website the second is a top gear video frome youtube http://www.arielatom.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaWoo82zNUA

this is pland as something like a five year project and i hope to sell it when im done i go to uti and i would like to eventualy start this up as a buisness the windstar to start with is just becaus thear free parts to see if the idea will work i will origonaly use tub steel to get it perfect...

if you have it use the engien from the snowmobile it will produce a lot more horsepower it would be even better to build a frame around the snowmobile the hardest thing will be figuring out how to put on axils as far as the torque converter i dont know but if it dosent it will be obvius once you...

he might get it going with a 400 horse diesal lol

he might get it going with a 4oohorse diesal

to start off with this is a high performance track cart intendid to go 150 plus i will be using a ford windstar engien generating 200hp at 4900 rpm and 240 ft lb torque eventualy i want to upgrade to two dual turbo rx7 engiens or posibly two porche 911 turbo air cooled engiens im planing on...
