It's been a number of months since I've given any updates, but frankly there isn't anything to report at this point. Building a car is an expensive project, and currently I'm just getting money for the project. I can't really give an estimation on the time it'll take to get enough money together. As most of you know the world economy doesn't look too healthy and I'm thinking a healthy positive number in the bank would be a good idea......Although maybe the bank isn't a good place to store it either. Who knows what will happen, I suppose we'll find out.

Interior designs

Well I've added a new link to my blog, for the pictures of the Interior. For the longest time I hadn't done much work on that aspect of my design. I'm now presenting an almost finished product, or rough model of what the interior is going to look like. As you can see I've taken the Digital Dash from the new Honda Civic Type R....Unfortunately if I'm going to use those parts I'm going to have to import them from Europe because they never brought it here. Then the rest of the interior is basic molded carbon fiber skins. I'm still not 100% certain of whether I'm going to use a manual or tiptronic. I know it's a sports car, and any real enthusiast would tell me that it's gotta be manual. But for all who are thinking that, would you rather have a really crummy shifter or a tiptronic auto. The reason for the crummy shifter, is I would have to design my own shift linkage. This could pose to be fairly difficult as the transmission is behind the engine, and access is very limited. Plus the stretching and contracting of cables over that distance would be horrendous.......The only other option is for someone out there to get me an amazing price on a sequential manual transmission....when I say amazing price I mean somewhere in the realm of free or under 2000 bucks

new stuff

so I did some more work on the front end of the car, I shrunk the headlights slightly and widened the intake, I think it looks better over all. I also added some taillights, keep in mind that they're just an idea, let me know what you think, as feedback is always appreciated. Personally I think the design is really coming along, not much left to improve on whithout changing the design completely. I've started working on the interior, I haven't quite decided what I want in there yet, so I've designed a dash, and I've decided to go with the new honda civic display etc.

Updates

If anyone has been attempting to follow my blog, my reason for the lack of updates is due to the lack of computing power. My previous computer couldn't render or run the viewport properly let alone new versions of 3DS Max.

I'm currently working on an interior design for the car

I'm still trying to think of a cool way to do the dash. I will have to design and build my own seats for the car because of an interior space issue. Since it will be considered a kit car I can probably get away with it. Plus it allows me to make a custom seat that fits me.
I was thinking of using some styling cues from the new Toyota FT-HS Hybrid Sports Concept. I hope that by looking at the Toyota's interior it will give me some inspiration to create my own.
