My uprights are due to arrive next week and for one I would love to see any improvements.

Sorry about the attachments not opening I have only just learnt how to resize my pictures and will try again.

It has taken me about two months of looking at the chassis vs engine/transmission before I decided where and how to cut.[ATTACH=CONFIG]10397[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]10398[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]10399[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]10400[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]10401[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]10402[/ATTACH] As can be seen the engine sits very high with the sump sticking out below the floor.A dry sump will be needed.I have ordered a diff fitting kit from BIRKIN and once the diff is fitted I will replace all the floor sections with the same material.The only way to do a clutch job in the future will mean that the whole engine/transmission assembly will have to be removed below the car as i could not fit it in from the top.

Before I continue just a couple of pics of my current car (pre `95 Birkin)which my kidds unfortunately have to share.I bought the car three years ago as a licensed road car but as the years have passed I have removed all of the street legal bits.It is currently fitted with a Toyota 1600 20 valve blacktop with a Toyota T50 transmission.The picture shows with trailor tyres and rims as we race on slicks.

The stand is homemade.Some pics of the chassis modified to go with inboard suspension .The modification was done by Garreth Taylor a expert in Johannesburg who runs his own racing team Taylon Motorsport.He also manufactured the fully adjustable control arms for all four corners.For about three months I have been trying to figure out how to adapt the chassis and transmission channel as I will be fitting a nissan sr20vet engine(sourced ex JDM) mated to a five speed nissan silvia gearbox and Subaru Forrester 4.441

This is not my car as I have already modified my front suspension, but this is what you get.Thank-you ANTON MULLER for his pictures.

Looks like i am in.First some pics of what you get from Birkin.This is the only way to buy a chassis ie fully clad.

Hi all, I am starting a new build using a Birkin factory chassis with a couple of tweaks.If there is interest I am willing to document it.
