    Nope, it was the Twinstar. I remember seeing an article on it and an advertisement in some magazine for it.

    Admittedly, that's the first I've heard of that. It must not be very well known, then.

    Warren still has it, it is at one of his houses from what I was told. He also has one of the Raptor 2000's that is a street car.. I'll see my friend at the Daytona show Sunday & I'll ask more about them.

    the constar is a series 2 consuiler with a northstar v8 and is still owned by warren

    he still has the raptor 2000. its on the rebuild list.

    the consulier project with the funny headlights was something todd worked on out back of the shop in his "spare time." it was never a mosler design, much like the "mt900 raptor gtr ( or whatever he calls it )"

    I'll post some pictures, you can all decide for yourselves......

    First order of business will be pulling the VQ35 out and fixing the engine/suspension subframe where it was modified to clear the oil pan. I'm thinking a different direction on the drivetrain. To obtain an Illinois specially constructed vehicle title, I will need to show lineage/ownership of all major parts, so the engine needs to be documented. Leaning towards something Audi like 1.9T, V6 or V8, as they are packaged nicely for a mid engined car and well supported in the aftermarket. Even a 1.8T can make a reliable 350HP with a few parts.

    The MT900 lights gotta go. Gonna make a body template to carry around to some possible headlight donors to see how well they might integrate into the body lines.... Would love to think that Volvo VNL lights might fit...

    Don't know much about these cars yet, so might attract some laughs with this one:

    looking for a front glass, front hood, rear hatch. I say this knowing full well I may just have to make them.

    Re: Noooooo!

    I think the curves on VNL lights are too steep. Don't use a 1.8/1.9. How much is an audi 4.2L and which transmissions did those get?

    I have a windshield I'd sell but I'm not sure if its the right one.

    Rider,
    I'm thinking you may be right one the VNL lights, looking at a couple options. The MT900 stuff that is in there now is so hacked, and no recess for a lexan cover so its gotta come out.

    The nice thing about the Audi stuff for a mid engine is the trans are longitudinal, and can be hacked and swapped to make a 4WD a 2WD, etc. Available in 5 speed, 6 speed. In the states, I'm not sure if the 4.2 ever had a manual behind it. The 2.7 liter twin turbo is an option as well. I've got a complete car with that drivetrain and a 6 speed 4wd, but not sure I wanna scrap the car just for the drivetrain.

    Did they have different front glass for different years?

    Re: Noooooo!

    On the web I've seen a manual 4.2 audi swap in a boxster of all things. I'm not sure what transmission it was though.

    Just from looking at photographs I know there is a curved corner windshield and a sharp corner windshield. Who knows, maybe more than one type of each. I have a curved corner one.

    Welcome to the site. Shoot me a PM if you would be interested in meeting up. Unless I'm mistaken we're the closest TM members to one another on here.
