Mid-engined single seater
Discussion
Hi All,
I have a Van Diemen RF87 single seater (equivalent to a FF but transverse mounted CVH lump)
I have very limited engineering skills, but i have brought the car as a project, the plan is to rebuild and drop in a bike lump (busa, b'bird, R1 etc) to have a laugh with, Hillclimbs, sprints, track days etc.....
I am at the planning stage, and am trying to figure out the best way to go. do i go chain-driven LSD or prop and diff, if so, who sells the kits?
i have been told that a busa lump is best, does everyone concur?
I have also been told that dry sumping is not necessarily the only option for oil management, there is a kit that implements a weighted oil scavenge apparatus that apparently works well.
In short, general comments and advise, links etc would be MASSIVELY appreciated.

You mean "Formula First", right? I don't remember them being called RF87 but might be wrong.I have a Van Diemen RF87 single seater (equivalent to a FF but transverse mounted CVH lump)
