So I started this project in November of 18 and thought I would share with the group. I know the question begs to be asked, "why put a MZR in a N/B chassis?" The HP gains are significant but maybe not enough to warrant the effort. In this case we are building to a set of rules (SCCA STU). I raced a N/C in the class for the last couple of years and the thought is, "lets get the same HP in a smaller package?" So I had this bastard N/B chassis hanging around. It is a 01 that I acquired as a empty shell and built up as a 99. I had bought a wrecked 99 from a customer, so it was just a matter of swapping the parts over. It was a simple build and became the "village bicycle". I rented it to a bunch of people and most of my friends drove it at some point.

Then late last year I had this harebrained idea to F it all up and make the most complicated race car I have ever built out of it! I gathering pics now and hope to tell the story of the process here.


Here is the car as it was end of the 18 season.
