Installed LED rear tails and CF hood.

Still need to install the TRD sideskirts and the TRD front bumper and the UK phase 3 rear bumper. But its starting to look decent...

I have to upload a video of the motors starting and reving for you guys sometime soon. Or maybe everyone wants a video of it launching ;) lol

There are still small bugs to work out and some fabrication. The car won't be fully ready until next spring so i am taking this summer as a write off for it.

Wow, that's gonna have some interesting handling characteristics...

A baby Carrera; but what wheels are driving? Front, Rear, or AWD?

Cheers

whatever you feel like running that day ;)

it has a motor in the front too!

:stupid:

But scotty is right you'll be able to select what motor you want to run...

It does hurt not being able to drive it this summer... but then again summer is already half way done.

scotty... should we burn?

what is the purpose of two engines?

Extra weight so I can drive even slower then before

and turn even slower ;)

or do smokey burnouts, engine 1 in reverse, engine 2 in 1st gear :D

can you run both engines to go foward at the same time? would that give you some serious oomph?

straight line should be wildly amazing... curves should be strange... (two slightly different powered engines, and the extra weight on a short wheelbase)
Personally I would have made it a turbo mid engine RWD, and been done with it. I would think the extra weight of the 2nd engine would make the handling suck.... (I'm not saying for sure is does suck, but it just seams like it would) Being mid engine RWD would help the handling by moving the weight into the middle rather then in the front IMO...

I agree that it should prove to be interesting and i won't know until i bring it to the track. But the cars weight is nearly 50/50 with the rear end being ever slightly more. Remember i can run more power to the rear wheels if i wanted to to make it more RWD. I just have to turn up the boost...

Only time will tell. I've started my maxima project in the mean time :)
