It'll need all the lights and wheel arches as usual, otherwise not too much I'd think. Just having one seat won't make any real difference. If anything it means there's less to test! Although I might take the wings off for the test.

Why would you want to iva it? Do you want to drive it on the public road.

If for competition it will be MSA scrutineered.

Consider the fuel tank which now has to be of correct standard if platic, but more importantly needs not to be damaged in the case of a crash, with sharp objects arou d it. That's the only specific iva chnage that I can see causing issues other than the sva would have caused.

Having done just that with the original Furore, it's not a course of action I would recommend. Formula Ford etc is designed to run with aroun 1" ground clearance, & personally I wouldn't run with less than 4-5" for road use, getting mine up to that was a nightmare & one of the reasons i finished up with 18" wheels. If you really want a single seater on the road why not a Roadrunner Sprint, or better still get a production Furore F1 & have the option of removing the airbox, putting a mate in the back seat & scaring them to death - much more fun
(& I'm not biased in any way!!!)





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1
