Nice to see something different!

I wish more companies like this would put their money and efforts into creating a true racecar, not something to skid around corners with. It's a little disturbing that D1 gets more attention than Time Attack.

Quick terminology check:

Transverse is east/west which is FWD standard.

Longitudinal is north/south which is RWD standard.

That is all.

yeah. The hood will pull air out. if you have air being funneled into the area with the IC, the hood will actually pull it up through. My friend is doing this exact set up on his 13b FC.

Man, you got to it before me JB ...

That looks like a well built car. A lot of time and effort has gone in to it. I hope I get to see it run soon. I'm curious about the transmission as well ...

I was reading through this like "wow, none of these guys know what they are talking about?"

Very nice ride. Atleast they did it right by remounting the engine and setting it up like a true RWD.
