I like Hugo´s rear suspension arrangement better than El Loco´s,actually. What is your target weight? El Loco´s bug weighs just under 1100kg with a full tank of gas.The fenders are steel also.

Under 1250 kg.

Looking good! You going to have it running by next summer?

Jason

I hope so, I need to fabricate the intake manifold and many other thinks.

Looks great Hugo! I see you plan on using a blower? Check this site out.A friend of mine has a modified M90 with the magnum powers case on his 2.4L type 4.A really great product and support! http://www.magnumpowers.com/

Yes I plan to use a whipple W140AX (2.3l) supercharger.

Looks like some good internal upgrades, what kind of hp target are you setting? I can't wait to see the finished detail work on the motor :)

I want 500-600 hp.

You will get that easily..My friend's 3.6 audi V8 twin turbo put out just under 500 hp with only 0,3 bar boost.Now he's running around 750 with 1,2 bar.The dynos he has been on so far don't like his tiptronic transmission, they abort the run when it shifts,so we don't really know how much hp he actually has.

Some parts for Intake Manfold.

WOW!!! Please keep us updated with more pictures as you progress further.

Fantastic work!!! That touch screen and wireless steering wheel is star trek stuff! Really cool!

Mark

Excellent progress! Where did you get those LED headlights? I can tell you that 600hp is going to be insane:D I put down 240hp on the dyno and that is nuts....

The head ligths are from Truck Lite: http://www.truck-lite.com/webapp/wcs...roductId=92025

That's the idea, an insane car :lmao::lmao::lmao:

Hi, the oval tubing, what type of metal is it? Also where did you order it from.

It's aluminum from http://www.rossmachineracing.com/ovaltube.html

Wow crazy build!! Very nice!!

Keep the pictures coming!

You are moving fast with this project now! Looks great!

Fantastic.

Hello, question, is this vehicle for the track only? The reason for my question is the road height. Wonderful project, professional work, impeccable.

The main purpose of the project it's for track, but eventually I take the car to street (for show events or some meetings), that's why I have two sets of wheels and the coilovers suspension to adjust the road height.

This is how it looks now.
