    my friend was able to do around 120kph in an owner with a engine taken from a lite-ace (I was tailgaiting him).

    kaso sobra daw nakakatakot... parang pwede nang lumipad anytime... hehehe...

    I wonder if anyone can do an owner-type that is aerodynamically stable? (smooth underside, partly wedged front end and covered topside) Should be an owner-type for the modern times.

    no plans naman, dark ones or otherwise ;) on several occassion ko na kasi nakikita na ang hina ng takbo ng owner types(hindi naman overloaded). di naman sa minamaliit ko ung owner type ha -- nagtataka nga ako why no one has taken it to the next level... just curious if this has something to do with the usual engine installed.

    me nagtangka na bang maglagay ng V8? baka pagpiniga ung gas e makawala ung engine B).

    sa chassis naman naka-mount yung engine ng mga owner kaya di naman kakalas ang makina. yung stability lang pag high-speed ang questionable although yung owner namin dati with a 12R engine hinahataw namin sa Ilocos up to 150kph.

    Well, I am making a Lotus 7 replica (aka Caterham/Westfield/etc replica). Nice two seater, Toyota 4AGE silvertop engine, hopefully weighing in about 1,300 lbs or less. I suppose in our culture, eh, di owner-type ang classification, it being homebuilt.

    Most of the chassis will be fabricated (rather than getting a ladder frame, as what most owner-type manufacturers do). Ah, well, I'll update you guys from time to time how its coming along... Sana matapos ko within this year.

    Owner ko dati with a 4K engine could do 100 kph. Nilagyan namin race filter and headers parang tumulin pa (di ko lang ma measure nasira kasi spedo ). At 100 kph + nakakatakot talaga lalo na pag mag-isa ka. Pero ive driven one with a 2T engine at those speed medyo stable pa. Naka coil spring and power steering pala yun, yung owner ko dati leaf spring and pawis steering.

    Siguro kaya ng pinoy gawan ng paraan ang aerodynamics... Pero syempre, tataas ang presyo... Mas labor-intensive yata ang curved structure vs. yung box box lang, or mas mahal ang makina to make them...
