The chassis is a locally made version of a lotus 7 with inboard front suspension and lazer cut bulkheads. All up it weighs 670 kg wet with 280hp at the wheels.

Re: Sylva in New Zealand
It would be great to get an update on your build, have you raced yet and what's the handling like ?
As said before the front set up looks very nice indeed, quite 'trick'.
Is the chassis a proven design or just a one off ?

Re: Sylva in New Zealand
All finished..
Goes well, handles nicely, but still some setup work to do... Added the wastegate to control the supercharger boost.. 16psi was too much for the stock K24 honda, so dropped it down to 10psi.. works out about 320hp at the wheels now. Found 1 front shock (GAZ) was faulty, they are replacing it for me, all the way to New Zealand, so good on GAZ...

Looks great.
I personally would not be running that canister air filter as I've always found them to be restrictive.

Thanks Jeff.
Will set up the manometer and check the pressures across the filter.
