Fabrication cost for the car (cage, and adding a nett 350kg of lightness) will be another A$18K but I already own the sequential gear box and all required diff ratios.

The car is owned by my business and fully depreciated so it will cost three-fifths of five-eigth's of f4rk all...

Race cars are never cheap

Engine build is scheduled to start in October when the crank and other engine bits arrive.

I have my business name on the side of mine so I write all my track, mods and maintenance expenses off as advertising!
