I need some excitement in my life. I've been toying around with buying a sports car, but anyone can go buy one.
So, I've been thinking about doing something completely insane. I want to build an open wheel F1 style mid-engine car.
I'm thinking a Boxer 4-cylinder engine, steel frame with rollcage, whatever transmission is feasible.
The goal of the project would be to make a light weight, cornering monster.
My question is...if I can build the frame and body components, does anyone have any idea how to build in the motor, suspension, trans, rear def, steering, and breaking?
Gauge cluster is an issue, but that can be done with a digital display.
and BTW...I've not been drinking and I know this sounds crazy, but damn it would be cool.
