The how to build motorcycle engined racing cars takes the reader from the conception of a budget racing car to its appearance on the racetrack in easily comprehensible steps. It gives advice about design and construction, procurement of engines, and potential pitfalls. The book written by Tony Pashley revisits the path that he took in the Pashley Project articles in Race Tech magazine during the design and construction of two successful hillclimb cars, but this time in great detail, with a view to enabling the reader to carry out a similar exercise for themselves.Contains 200 photographs and extensive explanatory diagrams and tablesA vital addition to any would-be kitcar builder s libraryThe cars under discussion in the book are powered by motorcycle engines, which are meeting with great success in the smaller racing car classes. The total process of building a car is described, beginning with the selection and procurement of the engine. Chassis and suspension design is covered in a simplistic but adequate manner as the author s aim is to minimise the inclusion of involved calculations. Two recipes for chassis construction are illustrated in detail, along with guidance on the processes of construction and a description of the required equipment.
