If you're looking to build a racing car, 'How to Build Motorcycle-engined Racing Cars' could be the book you've been waiting for!
Tony Pashley revisits the path taken in the Pashley Project articles in Race Tech magazine during the design and construction of two successful racing cars, but this time in great detail, in order to allow the reader to be able to do similar work. Although speed and sprint cars are the central theme, much of the book is applicable to race cars in general. The complete construction process is described, starting with the selection and procurement of the engine. The frame and suspension design is treated in a simplistic but adequate way. Inside are shown two methods for the construction of the frame, along with indications on construction processes and a description of the necessary equipment. Later, the manufacture of the suspension is explained. Further chapters are dedicated to the remaining aspects of the vehicle such as transmission, brakes, power and cooling systems, and electrical system. The book is strongly illustrated with 200 photographs and extensive diagrams and explanatory tables.
