Thinking Of Building A DIY Supercar by baconline(m): 9:05pm On Jun 09, 2019
If I have enough time I want to venture into this, I will get a donor car for the chassis, get a V8 engine and gearbox and build the rest from cabon fibre , I don't have much experience mechanically so need all the help from the gurus in the house ,
Looking at a mid engine 800+ horse power vehicle , I will be checking out owode if I can get a donor car there

Mid engine or rear engine

What you're proposing, isn't that bad.
But from your statement, it appears you're still contemplating, or in the planning stages, hence the "if I have time....".

Have you sat down to count the cost, in terms of time, finance, and the most important to me, is more of researching (this would help you understand the basics of some of your project).

nice initiative but is this going to be a side hobby thing or a major project?

Carbon fibre body... Do you have experience working with carbon fibre?
It's been tickling my fancy in recent times

you don't need a V8 to build a super car, look for all those sleeper super cars Toyota Supra, Nissan 350, Mitsubishi lancer, Mazda RX series, buy OEM turbo kit and boost the engine prowess and beat everybody on the road as long as the road is raceable. shikena.

horsepower or high number of cylinders doesn't put you in an advantage over contenders. You can also get the open roadster or the Vauxhall VX220 those are small engine supercar destroyers

mix sawdust and Tetraoxosulphate 6 acid and ethelene-dichloro-oxymethanol in the ratio 3:1:1 and pour the content inside the engine and fire away, ensure you upgrade you rotor disc and brake shoes then wind up and don't open your mouth because of flies.

You want to build a supercar?

Step 1: Get a light car. Corolla or Civic, preferably.
Step 2: Drop an LS in it
Step 3: Profit
