My 4G63 SL-R

A few pics of my SL-R (SuperLite - Roadster) that I purchased from RCR in Detroit.

Even without all the body panels and fenders on, the rolling chassis looks awesome. The quality of the build is top-notch! RCR didn't cut any corners when making this car.

With most of the options, the final price was around $23K for the rolling chassis (no engine, trans, ecu). An amazing price for the level of performance. Especially compared to a similarly equipped Ariel Atom that cost $70K+!

As of now, the plan is to drop in a stock 6bolt and a Big16G on E85. The car's final weight should be around 1600 lbs or so when all is said and done.

Much Thanks to Mr. Peepers, Twicks69 and Kenny!

Very nice, I plan on taking on a project like in the next few years. The hot rod scene with v-8's is overdone, I want to show everyone what a lightweight 4cyl turbo could do in those things. I didn't look through you other links, but is this doing to be fwd, awd, or rwd?

That thing is sweet. Hope the 4G63 is not to heavy to effect handling. Keep us updated

RWD - Going to use a AWD converted to FWD (Thanks Twicks!)

That thing is sweet. Hope the 4G63 will fit and that its not to heavy.

It was made for a 6bolt 4G63. You can see the engine bay Here

That is very cool. Is there a process to make this street legal? How would go about doing that?

Yup, I just need to title and register her. From what I can tell, Wisconsin is really lax on this compared to other states.

That thing is going to be cool as hell. With about half the weight of a normal dsm that thing should be rocket ship. I can't wait to see/hear how it turns out. You get an A+ for trying something different too.

Sweet project, man. That thing looks like a boatload of fun!

What's your ETA on having it driveable?

I don't have one. It would be nice to get it done for the shootout, but there just isn't enough time. I'm in no hurry, but I am.

The only thing that would make that more win would be AWD. >

^^ +1

 

[agarc023]

I've wanted to do that ever since I saw the ariel atom on top gear

Nah, in this case rwd>awd.

 

[red_devil]

Yeah having awd would be pointless in this type of car and add un needed weight. Just wonder what the weight distribution will be with that motor right at the back. How much power are you looking to make?

Would also be very cool to put a 20B in there revving to 10k.

That looks badass minus the knockoff C6 wheels. It will be fun, there's no doubt.

 

[Slanted J]

How much power are you looking to make?

To start off with, probably 300 or so. In theory, that should be plenty, but who knows. Just going to take it slow.

That looks badass minus the knockoff C6 wheels.

Not sure if they are knock-offs or not. Either way, they'll work just fine.

The tires are Hankook Ventus V12 evo:
- rear - 295/30ZR18
- front - 245/35ZR18

I'm actually in JVL, but you are more than welcome to come check it out.

 

[keilum]

dude that thing is bad good luck with the build

 

[crash89]

That thing is gonna be so wicked! Im jealous that Matt (mr peepers) got to sit in it!

 

[gixrman]

That is very nice, and I thought everyone on this site was a close minded. This is creative. Is it going to be a mid engine mount or rear engine mount?

 

[agedog2gT]

wow, that baby looks like she can get up and take out!
