MCNSPORT: Need for Speed D-Mac 86

[MCNSPORT.com]

Some of you have seen this already but its time to do an official build thread with extra pictures

Here is the press release from Speedhunters
http://speedhunters.com/archive/2010...00_mac-86.aspx

Originally this was to be our Prototype ae86 but then Need for Speed came on board and we decided to build something extra special




We started off with the battered re86....






And we began to remove bits we deemed unnecessary





Until we ended up with as much or a little ae86 as possible



We started by welding up all the holes that would leave tyre smoke or rain water into the cockpit




Then we fabricated the rear strut bar that will be integrated into the rollcage and also the rear chassis bar




We then started to position the centre hoop so we could fab the platforms for it to sit on





We moved to the front then as we had no where to mount our tension rods and anti roll bar so we fabbed a new front chassis section from scratch



We cant wait to show you more, stay tuned to www.speedhunters.com for the latest build updates

I cant think of the exact figures but i think it was like 780ish before we started...

But itl actualli probaly be a little heavier...

However a lot more ponies under the hood will compensate delightfully

previous version of the re86 was 766kg

when completed this car will prob weigh a bit more due to some of the ideas we're doing like the rear mounted radiator
