67Rolla-Ken Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 I think you're building up a true sleeper here. Nothing original left but the body shell... I like it ;) Quote
cuzzo Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 How much weight do you think it has gained due to the extra steel added? Quote
1JZKe55 Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) How much weight do you think it has gained due to the extra steel added? I reckon it's about 60-80kg heaver than a standard body shell with the cage and the motor and box is good 50kg over a 4k i'm trying to keep it under 1100kg . So what is the weight of a ke55....?

1JZKe55 Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Posted January 4, 2010 67Rolla-Ken Nothing original left but the body shell Oh if only you knew i don't think there is 1 part of the car that hasn't been modified in one way or another lol. I don't think i'll ever build anything like this again there's just to much work in it ;) Quote

Na it wasn't to bad i tacked a couple braces in to help hold it all in place when we were cutting everything out The chassis is made out of 75x50x2.5mm so yeah its still straight lol gave myself a tolerance of + - 1.5mm to work with in Quote
