Dammmmm, likeing this new "car" so much I am torn about what to do with it! The idea of a fast street racer mini-mini-van looking ride is very interesting. I am going to make if farily fast but all the audio gear going will add at least 250 lbs!
I may rethink this whole concept and do something lighter now that I have had a couple of days to play around with it on some decent roads. This thing is really amazing for being so tall.
I guess it helps alot that most of the glass is rather small, keeps the roll center lower than big windows would have done. I am looking for some new springs, no luck yet though.
I want bigger wheels for style, this is my daily driver but will be in some major car shows, looking into light 18's and found the Toyp proxis S1 in 225/40/18 are the right diameter and only 22 lbs, not bad for 18's. Found some 18.5 lbs wheels, the Enkei RPM2 in black chrome I like to, about as lite as I can afford, well, will be a bit high.
Not much else on the market yet but I am sure in time to be able to get some great brakes, TRD supercharger, etc. I have met Eric at EL Prototypes, I will see what he has to offer in the way of chips, etc tomorrow when I stop by.
Man I am getting the bug to make this thing hot, my first fast car was my 72 510 way back in 76!
Thanks for the welcome, I will be glad to help anyone I can, sometimes exceptionally busy but I will get back to you as soon as I can.
