I asked a few dumb questions in the Rules forum and figured I'd chuck a few pics up in here for the people who don't care about rules

Bridget on the way to her new home

and of course we took it all apart as soon as we got home

GTF approves.

it's terrifying to sit in, it sounds like the world is ending at 14,000 rpm....but, hey I figured it was worth a shot.

That has a more serious cage than I expected. I'll bet it will be a blast on track!!

^Isn't the driveshaft shielded from the driver? Through a tube or something...? Can't really tell from the photos,but it appears something is there..

Please resist the urge to paint this one pink and/or brown.

It does have 2 or 3 loops along the length, and a sheet metal cover. It's still in there spinning at 14k rpms, inches from the seat!

It's a driveshaft not a torque tube. It's rotation speed most of the time will be much lower than engine speed unless the gearbox has a 1:1 ratio, but I think most of the useful ratio's are a lot lower than that depending on what it is mated to for a rear end.

Looks cool! What's it got for a modor? Looks like a scaled down version of Butch's blazer

it has a 600cc GSX-R engine with sequential (Motorcycle) Transmission.

the inside isn't quite as scary as it looks as everything is covered with sheet metal.

^^ what he said ^^

as GTF noted, it sounds like 1000 angry bees..
Sitting in the car, you have basically an open header to your left and a singing dive shaft on your right. I commend him on the purchase.
Before contorting my self to leave the cockpit, I surrendered any future request to drive that thing on the track.
