TT twin gsx1300r awd mini....

[just85]

Hi all, as the title states I'm posting about a twin Turbo, duel gsx1300 powered awd mini ....

After almost completing my first major car build with the old man (who is an engineer, metal fab) I've been compiling all these crazy ideas for my next project and somehow I have come up with this!... It's just an idea, I'm not dead set on it. I started learning how to use Autocad a few days ago and it kind of snowballed. I don't understand a whole bunch about the performance stuff, yet. What I want to do mainly is teach myself how to use a bunch of tools for building cars, shaping tools, tube/pipe bender, software such as autocad and compile it all into one different/crazy/cool build.

The idea is to get a mini shell. Put it on a table, cut the entire floor out, slice the shell in half from front to back, widen it a few inches, lay everything out, make a tube chassis etc etc. Basically build a car from scratch using a small light weight shell.

The main questions I have for the people who know is, can the concept "work"?

After screwing around in AutoCad for a few hours this is what I have.


It's all roughly to scale. The body has been widened 4" and the track a fair bit also.. I haven't thought of a decent way to run the front wheels other than use chains. From sprocket to sprocket it was going to be almost 5ft which is way too long, so I've added a few slaves. And there would be a couple of gears to reverse the drive on the forward motor.

Not running though a common gear box is this going to create a push effect on a potentially weaker engine and basically render the whole concept useless?.. Obviously I will never get the engines to run exactly the same but most awd cars run different power to each end anyway, right?
