Allan sent me some pictures of the suspension on his current car and it looks like the green one above. Is this a Megapin? Do you know if plans
available for this car?

Whilst a derivative of the Famous Historic Terrapin racecar the Megapin is build by Ian Scott (a very close friend of Allan's). I've
attached the details below so that you can contact him.
"Baitings Dam is one of the tightest hillclimbs around. With its succession of 1st gear hairpins it's almost a different discipline
altogether from courses like Aintree. The course record is 25 or 26 seconds. I think the record may be held by Ian Scott in his home built, but very
professional, motorbike engined Megapin".

Thanks in advance!

Good Lord this is an old thread, but to answer the original question, buy my book! It's exactly what you need, especially if you plan on using a
FWD donor engine.

I'm afraid Allan passed away this year (or was it last.) You might try contacting his son.
