I am starting a new zed project and the general theme for this one is weight reduction rather than power increase as I've previously done. My blue car had 500hp and weighed 1200kg. This same car was just about perfect when the power was nearer 360hp so I'm aiming for 1000kg and maybe 290hp. I don't want a cage as it will mainly be a road car but I do want the the shell to be as stiff as possible. Ideally I want to use bolt on parts that use existing mounting holes. In my head I'm thinking along the line of triangulating areas with small tube linking the rear quarters just behind the seats with top seatbelt mounts and strut towers plus strut brace. Then triangulate the front towers to baulk head. These are just ideas bouncing around in my head.
Any other ideas? or suggestions of ready made/original datsun parts.
