While we're at it ... An R1 powered Vortx RT ... what sort of weight an i looking at? This is weight/engine torque issue.

Hope this helps a quick rough measure up of a built car ( ie mine )

Length ( nose to tail ) 3400 mm
width rear - 1720mm 8 inch rims
width front - 1640mm 8 inch rims
Hight 1330mm ( supper - tall - lanky b**tard roll cage )
wheel base ( center to center ) 2420mm

If you are wanting dimensions for trailer to pick kit up let me know as I can measure any one of the chassis sat in the workshop

Hi Joao,

If Agriv8 cant I can measure my chassis for you. Its just about ready for the bodywork so in the same sort of state as it will be when you take delivery.

If I remember right, your chassis was being made when I picked my kit up

Hi Agriv8 and RichieC.
Many thanks.
I wanted to know the size of the complete car as I was thinking about a trailer that could pickup, but also bring back to SVA.

How long is the Chassis itself?

Thanks again,
Joao

PS: Was mine being built up? how did it look? (pre-father's expectations... )

My Vortx weighed in at 540 kg on my first journey, which included close to 10 kg of tools just in case I didn't make it home. The car had all fluids filled to maximum including the standard 28 litre fuel tank, which including the short filler hose takes something more than 28 litres.

I have the standard RT chassis with a sierra LSD and lobro shafts (the heavy ones) and sierra hubs and vented discs at the front. I have padded seats, a boot box and an R1 engine. The car also has the MNR wiring loom plus the R1 loom with only the head light and tail light wires cut off.

Length of the chassis is around 3150mm.

Chassis looked good, just being finished off ready for powder coating.
