Build story

The goal: A reliable 10.5 Sec car that uses less than 6L/hundred Km. \r
\r
It was and still is my daily, I do everything in it, it tows my university teams racecar, takes the dirt bikes to the motopark and takes loads to the tip. The car does around 20,000 km each year. It started as something small and it got out of hand and grew into what it is today. It was all built at home by myself with my dad helping out along the way. \r
Only things that I had to pay someone to do include, actual machining of the Engine/ Gearbox adaptor plate, building the TH400, splining the axles and balancing the driveshaft.\r
\r
Everything else including the design of the adaptor plate, engine girdle mainfolds etc. was all done from at home. Being a student this was not always a choice, time is cheap (sometimes)\r
\r
It's still a work in progress it always will be.
