  • Amazing Build! Can you tell me what you did with the rear drive shaft output? I'm looking to build a very similar car right now. Post more vids!! any other info on this car? Blog?

  • yes the ethanol yields less energy per part, thats why you run it more rich than on gasoline, so bigger pump and injectors, problem solved, more power :D

  • Hi there, have you managed to get it finished yet..?

    Did you make a mould of the shell..?

    I have a TA Spirit also which i have put a hayabusa engine in up front rwd but my 13x10 are to wide and didnt want to add on arches..

    Roof would be great..

    Well done mate

  • Ethanol does not mean green. It means it costs us and our food industry more and produces less power per part than regular fuel. Less power, higher cost(in the end) doesn't help. Propane is "greener" than ethanol, easier to be produced and is almost identical in power per part. It also requires no carburetor, fuel pump or injectors and provides a naturally aspirated boost of around 4psi due to its pressurized tank.

  • @wvXvxvXvw ethanol has an octane rating of 115 so you tell me if it yields less energy per part

  • @raptorboy1014131 In case you don't know about Wikipedia, you should probably do some research before you post an ignorant comment. Octane rating has absolutely, positively zilch to do with power per part. Power per part is what actually makes gasoline so efficient and the reason we use it instead of any other fuel. Higher octane rating does generally mean you can run more advanced and more lean without detonation, but it doesn't mean more power. Check out the EPA stats on ethanol vs gasoline.

  • what a ropey pos guessing it never turned a wheel in anger....

  • what series will this be racing in?

  • Hello rich, phil here steves mate, Yer definately a great build so far love that shot at 2.19 rear end looks good.

  • Looking forward to seeing it run. Good stuff!

  • will be interesting to see how you get on running it on ethanol! *subsrcibed*
