After 3.5 years toiling away in my tin shed, out on the farm, I have nearly completed my first car.
I am a CNC machinist by day, car builder the rest of the time.

I have machined all the suspension components from T6061 aliuminium. The engine is also billet, having used two ZX12R cyclinders to create a 2.4ltr V8- Synergy 2400.390hp @10500rpm.A friend Simon Longdill designed it. check out the dyno run on you tube.

The chassis is round tube,tig welded, with ali panels bonded to the exterior of the chassis.
I have a full composite body, where the whole front comes of to assist race preparation. It looks a little like a TVR.

I am on the down hill slope to the finish now having to complete the six speed sequential gearbox to finish our driveline.

The final weght should be around 600kgs. A little flabbier than the new V8 Arial Atom.

Has anyone info on that car??

I call my car DSN390- Don't Stop Now,something I muttered many a late night wondering how I got myself into all this. 390 hp-reasons to keep doing it.

Are there many others out there spending their lives scratching their hair out doing everything themselves?

We in this part of the world don't have the fantastic infastructure for car builders like our european nations so just, diy.

Thats a little about me and my car, heres some pics
