Maquire arches! I love them! always wanted a set but never had the money to afford the whole lot!

lovely motors, the twin turbo Busa Z-cars is the one to have!

Ades R1 fiberglass mini is bloody quick aswell!

ades minus was indeed a fine piece of machinary! that mini is cool, the wheels are the best but theres something about it that just screams,, "you fricking want some?"

Theres a Vtec supercharged one of these over this side of the Irish sea, was built as a prototype by a company in england i think Zcars, its a crazy fast lil thing

very nice pal, go kart on the road!!!!!!!!!!

Tomm R · 04-02-2008, 00:46

correct me if i am wrong...

but that doesnt look like a Maquire shell? nor a Minus.

not that i have seen the inside of many C pillars on either a Maquire or minus shell but that is deseamed?

I personaly wouldnt want to be putting that much power though a spaceframed deseaed shell.

but sureley its a genuine maquire shell! Any one know?

EDIT...

Looking at the layout on the floor it is a Maquire shell...

jammy_basturd · 16-02-2008, 08:12

Had to sign up just to explain what it is!

Its a steel shell (you can see the spotwelds around the window frames), thats just been spaceframed; floor cut off, then spaceframe built, floor attached to the spaceframe then the top half of the steel shell dropped on top.

Looks very nicely done indeed. Am wondering what tubing they've used for the engine cradle though!?

jammy_basturd · 16-02-2008, 09:43

I don't believe they are maquire arches either. Either they are custom made jobbies, or they might be from America.

Tomm R · 17-02-2008, 14:29

thought it was a steel sheel, sureley deseaming causes more fault lines and stresses the shell more? especialy with that sort of power going through it?

Mech non the less kudos mate, its lovely!
