the s2000 frame is similar to what i was looking toward doing, and as for tire size i was thinking of using civic sized tires at first so they will slip and not torque the frame till i know it can take it then progress from there. i'm not tring to kill my self in it. the motor lay out i was going to do is mid engine f22 using the stock cv axles and front hubs in the back of course it will take alot of fab work on the hubs but i think have full independent suspention on all 4 tires will be the way to go for control reasons. i know the frame i am going to build will seat two and i will probley over kill and add an extra 100 punds in bracing but like i said before i'm not tring to kill myself build it smart with saftey in mind. even in the end if it ends up a 1400 pounds it will still be a fun as hell to ride and if it's to heavy i can always turbo or play with tire size to get the best ou of it.

This looks like a lot of fun, I had access to a late 80s fiero gt and started taking all of the unecessary weight off. Weight distribution became an issue of course and I gave up on the project. If I could do it again I would go with a 4 cylinder fiero engine setup and distribute the weight as needed and apply boost. Please keep us informed with a build and dont give up.

My uncle has an old sand rail that I was going to try put a k20 motor on. The vw engine is junk but the rail is in pretty good shape.

Arial atoms are pretty nice also. Rode in one last year. Too small for my big self though.
