Glad your recovering mate car looks good. Would be good to have the engine a bit further forward.
Thanks

moving engine forward
thanks for the comments.
would love to move the engine forward , but restricted
by position of output shafts from the gearbox
I could move it maybe 20 to 30 mm forward as at the moment it dead central with the gearbox output and wheel ctr.
move more than 20 to 30mm and I think it would put to much strain on the shaft joints
I can tilt it 1 maybe 2 degrees but think that's it.
I was going to shove a lot of stuff forward to get more weight towards the middle ie battery ect.
minimal design and complication was what I was going for
was originally going for 450 kg. but having calculated it that's out should end up around 500 to 550 kg probably 520 dry tank
still just a design exercise at the moment

Isn’t the latest MeV exo car designed to take the Toyota engine?

With all mid engine projects, I would recommend doing a weight distribution exercise.
Get lots of weight to the front, adjust wheelbase, get fuel tank @ Cof G.
Those that work best have more than 40% on the front axle with driver obviously.
From Weight distribution you can select tyre size and then suspension.

Have you considered an Audi engine and gearbox?
Longitudinal and probably a bit longer overall, but relatively cheap and may give a better balance to the car.

nice thought though

Angle the uprights parts of the chassis back about 15 degrees, especially the rollbar, will make it look a lot more 'sleek'. Looks a
little utilitarian at the moment.
Will also want either a bulge outwards in the top horizontal (or a drop) to allow elbow room.

Found the reference for this, longer ago than I thought but may be worth a chat to them, if they have done the work then why re-invent the wheel -

i need clarification on "angle back"
I am under the impression that to comply with blue book the roll bar has to be vertical
if I'm wrong let me know please as I original designed the chassis with a 10 deg reverse angle and it did look much better.
I will admit I tend to design for function rather than style !
