Should be looking at Caterham Superlight R performance then. Sounds like it will be a right hoot!

[L100NYY]

Yum.

Bodykit, clears and the interior is far too red, but somehow it just works.

Plan is to install some kind of bike engine running at about 200bhp and use it on track. We shall see

Interesting. Given that two of you can pick the chassis up, what would it potentially weigh with a bike drivetrain? 300kg or less? That would still be a lot of performance!!

That is the thinking, I would guess it will be well under 400kg wet once the engine / drivetrain are installed so should still shift a bit.

Ive got a spare 2/3rds of a Cosworth DFR lump and a six speed sequential box if he fancies them? Disclaimer there is no crank in the Cosworth lump but heads and all auxiliaries rods/pistons etc there.
Aren't the rear shock mounts directly to the gearbox on it though?

Why does Spellcheck on here autocorrect Cosworth to Bosworth!!

I don't think this is a PH SpellCheck. Probably your computer or device doing it. Get rid and buy a type writer.

I have pointed him to this thread for a look. The car has the box in which has been stripped down and may be made to work. I think your DFR scheme is a better idea IMO.

Yes.

[L100NYY]

Yes indeed.
