You guys are making me regret going into FC rather than sticking with F600 during the bad times. :)

A 97 Van Diemen. Part of the problem I'm running into is that none of the kits are really made for this car. I'm sort of left to my own devices with a conversion, as far as I know. This, along with...

No, standard VD setup. I was toying with the idea of incorporating the bellhousing into the design of the conversion. After talking to a few people over the past 2 days...yeah. That idea is a no go....

Thanks for the info, RobLav.

Honestly, I was a bit surprised at how low they have it priced. It /looks/ like it's just a matter of doing the plumbing work, if their photo on their website is...

Not that I'm thinking about doing this...;)

But.

Does anyone have any experience with BRD's ZX-10R dry sump (11+)? What's missing from their kit, if anything? It seems like, from their...

You know, I've been watching this whole F1KCS thing from the periphery, wondering if I should hop into F1000. I'll be honest, all the uncertainty about that series...well. Let's just say that I'm not...

Yeah, I'm wondering what the spline angle and count is on the wheel side. Alternately, what kind of CV joint is used at the inboard end? If it's a VW setup, I'm probably good to go.

Anyone out there know what sort of spline the wheel end of a 96 Van Diemen half shaft uses?

Basically, I'm trying to figure out how I would move power from the diff to the wheels in leiu of a...

My perspective is very much outside of the one shared by National-level F1000 competitors. That said, why is this discussion even taking place? Given the prices on even brand-new 2012 engines, the...

Thanks for all of the replies.

This is a complicated business. Then again, if it was easy (and cheap) everyone would be doing it. :)

In general, what are the priorities for F1000 suspension design? Given the relatively high downforce nature of these cars, when we are compromising on suspension movement, are we more concerned about...

Just happened upon this thread -- the chain looks like it is moving with a waveform sort of motion, with increasing frequency as the RPM goes up.

Resonance, I'm thinking?

Should be solvable...

Been a while since I've seen an update. Anyone know where things stand on adoption of the f600 proposal for national events?

Would be nice to see new options in this class.

About an hour west of Washington, D.C. About an hour and a half from Summit Point.

Some background:

I'm in the middle of building a chassis. After a lot of research, I decided to build an FB car rather than an F500 or Formula F. The cost-to-fun ratio seems to be in the sweet...
