Lukew360 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 This will be the lightest EP I've ever seen!What weight are you aiming for when finished?Keep up the good work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Its actually scary how light some of the panels are now. to get it on the axel stands we just got one person at each corner and lifted the shell up im not sure on a definate figure yet but hopefully around 800kg's and power to be close to 400bhp so should make just over 400bhp/per ton Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rorenapier Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Going to town on the weight saving Gaz.You must be going for some turbo for close to 400hp! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 i thought the original idea was 250 bhp lol think i might send my next car to you for a weight saving class hah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Gonna be immense -_-cheers dude, it's getting there.never seen this thread before - wot an awesome job !!!!!yeh I've not updated in a while, only just got back onto it. Thanks anyway mateGoing to town on the weight saving Gaz.You must be going for some turbo for close to 400hp!yeh one thing just leads to another, once you start stripping it and cutting bits out there's some much more you notice you don't actually need.Turbo will be big lol but it's a mixture of a few other things. Around 350 and it won't be slow so I'll still be happy, hopefully I can get to around 800kg without the driver.i thought the original idea was 250 bhp lol think i might send my next car to you for a weight saving class hahyeh was originally but it's seems to more common now so thought if I want it to be more unique I need more!

ToyotaTech15 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Just a small update,Shell is now at new workshop premesisSmall bit of bodywork to be finished, Shell will be undersealed when i get it on the roof lift. Then its off to the paint shop and im aiming for a convoy of mates together to go for Ten Of The Best in July More updates soonGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Another small update,Now we are in the new workshop i decided once it was onganised to crack on with the shell as soon as i could. all that was left to prep underneath was to run over it with a wire brush to clean it before undersealing.Luckily we have a roof crane in the new premises so i winched the shell up to get underneath it as its to difficult on the floor.after a few hours cleaning i was left with this.More rust off to save weight lol, Also removed the fuel tank brackets as i no longer need themOuter shell bodywork is now also finished, small bit of prep to be done on interior and engine bay then its time for paintMore updates soonGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan-11 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 You must of been there for hours cleaing up underneath the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Colour won't be revealed until it's painted I'm afraid,Weight will be as light as I can go, I've not really got a target to be honest. I think it will be about 700-800 kg's but when it's built I will be at a weigh-bridgeGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 @ Luke, yeh it's getting there now, alot of modding and repairs on body which took a while. Also moving premises and winter weather didn't help,Almost on the rebuild thou :-)@ Ryan, I was there Wednesday night until 7.30 and Thursday until 6.30 so about 4 hours altogether.Ready to be undersealed now thou, and cant thank you enough for your help on the bodyworkGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
