I replaced the previous post due to an excess of random nonsense (lol)
=======================================

I have been carefully reading and dissecting all suggestions, so don’t think I have necessarily ignored anything yet. I have not yet researched much, so my list is very unrefined. If you are going to critique something specific, please quote the item on the list.

Brakes: I really don’t know much about brakes at all. Also, does carbon fiber-reinforced silicon carbide brake discs" that are "crossdrilled and grooved" sound good? Is there a better system/setup of brakes?

Questions:

I received a suggestion of “monocoque carbonfibre/titainium composite” Is this a titanium & carbon fiber combination? Would a “aluminum honeycomb-reinforced carbon fiber laminate moncoque” work better (weight and strength).

Aslo for the body said to use “aluminum honeycomb-reinforced carbon fiber laminate moncoque” also for body panels also. Is this different than just carbon fiber, and if so, what are the advantages.

I received a really good seat suggestion: Sparco Milano. I’m trying to find specifications about various things like dimensions, mounting, weight, etc. The seat looks like you can’t get much better.

Any specific suggestions (an example part) or modifications of a specific part would also be appreciated if possible. I’m going to try to figure out what every part is going to be (A modification of an existing part, materials, weight, size, pros, cons, cooling needs, durability).


It’s kind of crazy communicating with so many people (9 forums) at once…but I really appreciate the suggestions so far, and want tons more. Pretty soon (Wednesday night probably) instead of getting as many options as possible, I’ll start to eliminate options.


A thing of concern is I don't want to purely copy a McLaren F1. So, if you are suggesting stuff JUST because a McLaren has it, let people who know about various parts make the suggestions.

If you have anything to back up your validity (only if you do not mind), please state it (saying “I’m a brake engineer” would probably put you on the top of my list for brake suggestions rather than accidentally putting your suggestion on the bottom.)
