This will be my blog for my new race car build. A class 5 autograss car. The rules for this class are fairly simple. 1400cc 8 valve. 2WD. No forced induction. Mid engined. Most of the cars are totally spaceframed and only use the silhouette of which ever car they intend to use.

I will be using a 1400 8v alloy TU engine.

So we all know what the racing is gonna be like here's a few clips.

class 5


class 5


class 7

This is how the basic build will go.





As you can see there is a lot of fabrication!



So we need to start with a good donor vehicle.

Tucked away in the corner.

Some lil things i found hiding in various parts of the car.

That was it for my first days work. Because the floor of the car will be totally removed i wont be able to move it. So it needs some wheels.
Heres a trolly cage thing i stole from next door . The castors were needed for something far more important!

Heres a few pictures of the start of my car trolly.

Just needs some connecting bars to go form the trolly to the shell now. Which i will do once i remove the engine and subframes.

I am. I own a rolling road centre. I also build race engines, carry out turbo conversions, fabrication, wiring looms and race and rally prep. Anything really.
