I've always wanted to see an f1 body with the main long shaft shaped shell but two round enclosed rear wheels with, umm, speed hairs. Painted flesh tones of course!
This is my favorite build because it's from scratch. It's amazing what you've been able to accomplish with basically zero plans and just diving headlong into whatever you feel like, then fixing issues later.
The Old Formula One Builders and Mechanics from the 50s ~ 70s are proud of you, Buddy. i always know it's going to be a good day when you post a new video. It would be fantastic if when everything is ready, you put stickers of the Subscribers on the car, As if they were Sponsors.
Awesome job Kyle! The radiators are on point. You can get shutter sets that open and close at desired temps for each radiator. Air flow won't be an issue with the side box air inlet and outlets. Lookin good 👍
"Well, live and learn, but I’ve already done this before, so... Just keep livin'?" 😅 I felt that one, Kyle. Don't be too hard on yourself, broski. You're definitely livin' and 100% learning! This project is really taking shape and an amazing shape it is!👌 You're almost coming down the home stretch, Kyle. I've been quiet lately but just wanted to check in, let you know I'm still here, and give some support. Damn proud of you and all you've accomplished just since I’ve known you. Much love to you, Geena, and the homies. #teamraceteam forever!🏁
I've been loving this series and channel so much. You've inspired me to take up welding a while back. Just self taught with flux cored wire. I've since then made my own catback exhaust for my car and repaired the driveshaft to my son's RC car. Things I only dreamed I'd be able to do. Thanks for the inspiration.
It's insane how even after 11 months you're still going and I love that drive (all about drive, all about power ;D). Keep up the work because this is by far your best series. Thank you for such good vids.
I can't describe how I absolutely ADORE this series of videos and this project! Can't wait to see how you're going to approach the bodywork of the car and bits of aero :D
The build is looking brilliant! A recessed heel pocket in the floorpan, at the base of the pedals, is a great way to anchor your feet, and give yourself more toe room. Keep doing what you do 😁👍‼️
Looking good, you can use paddle shifter for the gearbox either mechanical or electrical, seeing that you are using motorcycle engine with sequential gearbox, that way you can always have your hand on the steering wheel.
She's looking really good, Kyle. To get a better air path in & out of the radiators, mount them outside facing forward. This works best & is easier to let the hot air escape quickly out of gills at the rear of the side pods. Take a look at the GWR Predator V10 & GWR Raptor videos on here to see the side pod details. Cheers. Leigh.
I don't know if you thought about it but watch out for oil starvation. You changed the orientation of the engine so there is a chance that when braking and launching that the engine would loose oil pressure. I remember a guy having the same problem in a cbr swaped hond s600
Very impressive. But I think it's great that you own it and don't hide it. That's why you're one of the best! Oh my god, how far this foursome has come. It's amazing what you can accomplish Love everything you've done with it. Glad you're back, love the videos
I think flappy paddles for up shifts and down shifts would be cool and with that system you can get away with a smaller clutch pedal as you would only need it pull away
Id recommend you raise the bar which attaches the wheel to your frame, then add a sheet to adjust the wheel to a height you like. ofc this is a personal thought :) also for the air funnelling, in f1 **if im right** they separate the air from the tires, it directs the air instead of letting it produce a tonne of drag
Ive always dreamed of building somthing like this ever sence i was a kid and my dad had a single seat rail buggy with a 1000cc Kowalski on in with long travle suspension. I wanted a slammed street version and thats basically what you have created and im loving it!
I would recommend planning the shell of the car so that the radiator can get lots of air so that you won’t have to redesign it if the engine over heats and also if you put the radiators at less of an angle it will get more air or have a tunnel from the start of the side pod to redirect air
It would be fun to have a little racing series for this kind of thing. Have a blue print of that chassis and limit the power by displacement. Suspension design is free, no regulations. We’ll call it Formula Garage 😅 The goal is for father/son, friends, coworkers etc. to build a chassis overtime with the end goal being to participate in a race that’ll take place once a year. It’ll be in some sort of very-large parking lot.
Safety first! It's better to install a firewall behind the seat to separate pilot and engine compartments. Look up some engineering tips and tricks on FSAE / Formula Student Europe racing cars - they have a lot of interesting technical implementations. But anyway, great job!!! 👍
Raising the steering was a good idea, the only thing I would suggest is reconsidering the three pedals, considering that 90% of the time the clutch is only used when taking off or coming to a stop on a bike you could probably get away with a hand clutch
Those pedals can be mounted from the top. That should give you the clearance for the steering shaft. You have to unbolt the gas pedal and mount it to the other side.
For the pedal floor, turn it into a pan, with sides, riv-nuts on the inside of the tubes, now the floor can be as low as the bottom of the tube, not on top of the frame tubes.
If you could add one more bearing at the end of the steering shaft quite a bit of pressure at the end of it when you are turning. But friggin awesome job
Love ya project there mate, wanted to see how many people have made a Formula 1 car and you came up👍 what parts do you need? i can hook you up with some.
Radiators at an angle are more efficient. As the duct gets larger, the air slows down, which means more time to pass through the radiator and more time to absorb heat. Also less drag. Doubt you'll need both unless youre driving in traffic on the road.
You should look into using stretched aircraft fabric for most of body, should be very lightweight and allow you to shape it in a way that looks good. The rear you'll need fiberglass, plastic, metal, etc for heat protection. The wings Id do in fiberglass but early formula cars used sheet metal
this project is a perfect example of why CAD is used. So many tubes and plates cut out in each video. The A arms look massive in comparison to the car.
I’m currently doing a similar thing and running into issues with my steering column. What angle is your u joint at and where did you get it from I can’t find any that allow more than 35 degrees.
Being that you're running a motorcycle engine you could get away with putting the clutch on the shifter that way you only have the two pedals down by your feet. You could also run a air shifter that way you wouldn't really have to worry about using a clutch during the racing part of it just a couple of buttons for the up and down shift
Are you gonna want to go for a more modern body style? Because I think something from the 70s when they just transitioned from the cigars into more shaped cars and bigger bump behind the head would work perfectly. Sadly the Engine sits quite high so the typical 60s cigar shape will be hard to pull off. Either way super excited for the progress. Greetings from Germany!
Also the water pump on the bike engine may be insufficient to pump thru both rads at sufficient flow Looking good tho Ours have the added issues of two seats ( one behind the other ) and fully road legal so lights etc and thru the test to allow full uk road use ( although we have 17 examples already done )
It would be cool if you scan the car and someone designs a fiberglass shell for it!
That would be amazing 😂
I've always wanted to see an f1 body with the main long shaft shaped shell but two round enclosed rear wheels with, umm, speed hairs. Painted flesh tones of course!
What a way to penetrate the world of racing.....
monocoque
And even make a cool livery design for it, maybe even add somo sponsors 😂
This is my favorite build because it's from scratch. It's amazing what you've been able to accomplish with basically zero plans and just diving headlong into whatever you feel like, then fixing issues later.
So doing things 3 times is fun 😂

That is literally 1984 tyrrel

This guy deserves so much more subs. Quality videos, loving this series!!
It's coming 😈 road to a million
It's insane how even after 11 months you're still going and I love that drive (all about drive, all about power ;D). Keep up the work because this is by far your best series. Thank you for such good vids.
The amount of time you are putting into editing isn’t going unnoticed Kyle! Keep it up
Would definitely recommend getting a collapsible steering column for that
I can't describe how I absolutely ADORE this series of videos and this project!
Can't wait to see how you're going to approach the bodywork of the car and bits of aero :D
i'm from Brazil and this is the most beautiful project than i ever see, you are crazy bro 🔥🔥🔥
The build is looking brilliant! A recessed heel pocket in the floorpan, at the base of the pedals, is a great way to anchor your feet, and give yourself more toe room. Keep doing what you do 😁👍‼️
Yes! I was about to say this but it’s a good thing that I checked the other comments
put a titanium puck under it so it can throw cool sparks when it bottoms out a little!
A titanium plate might work 😏
Looking good, you can use paddle shifter for the gearbox either mechanical or electrical, seeing that you are using motorcycle engine with sequential gearbox, that way you can always have your hand on the steering wheel.
Such an inspiration! I love what you are doing. Totally awesome
I absolutely love this project, my favorite youtube project so far
Nice to see such great progress, and the sense of your excitement shows!! #BuiltByBo
Great video. Loving every minute. Can't wait to see the next one. 👌🙌🙌

I can`t say how much I enjoy this build! I just say love from Norway!
I don't know if you thought about it but watch out for oil starvation. You changed the orientation of the engine so there is a chance that when braking and launching that the engine would loose oil pressure. I remember a guy having the same problem in a cbr swaped hond s600
Fantastic video as always, love this project!
No this video was very well done and edited with time-lapse and music. Much better than some of the earlier ones I watch
LETTTTTSSSS GOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I’ve been waiting for this upload. Lovin the content kyle
You are the man! Proud of you!
From the ground up! Sick build!
Great progress so far! Food for thought. Make that steering shaft collapsable in case of front end impact.
been here since day one and i’m excited to see it drive. very well done kyle i love to see it!
Very impressive. But I think it's great that you own it and don't hide it. That's why you're one of the best! Oh my god, how far this foursome has come. It's amazing what you can accomplish Love everything you've done with it. Glad you're back, love the videos
can't wait to see the end result...you are amazing and creative
Absolutely brilliant Kyle, you’ll be a full blown Engineer before long🤩😎👊
LETS GOOO ANOTHER EPISODE
You are doing a very nice job on the f1 build. And you have uped your game on the film quality
bro love the videos cant wait for part 15 and 16
I think flappy paddles for up shifts and down shifts would be cool and with that system you can get away with a smaller clutch pedal as you would only need it pull away
This project vids are kick a** !!!!!
finally a new video ive been waiting and im super hyped
This series inspired me to build my own go kart! I love your vids!!
Id recommend you raise the bar which attaches the wheel to your frame, then add a sheet to adjust the wheel to a height you like. ofc this is a personal thought :)
also for the air funnelling, in f1 **if im right** they separate the air from the tires, it directs the air instead of letting it produce a tonne of drag
Ive always dreamed of building somthing like this ever sence i was a kid and my dad had a single seat rail buggy with a 1000cc Kowalski on in with long travle suspension. I wanted a slammed street version and thats basically what you have created and im loving it!
Best build on TH-cam!👍
Dude this is very cool ! One thing though, use a corded drill not a battery drill with the notcher .. it works WAY better.
Yess I love the double rads!!
I would recommend planning the shell of the car so that the radiator can get lots of air so that you won’t have to redesign it if the engine over heats and also if you put the radiators at less of an angle it will get more air or have a tunnel from the start of the side pod to redirect air

Kyle you rock! Love the channel and content. Peace easy and get that v! ✌️
Safety first! It's better to install a firewall behind the seat to separate pilot and engine compartments. Look up some engineering tips and tricks on FSAE / Formula Student Europe racing cars - they have a lot of interesting technical implementations.
But anyway, great job!!! 👍
You could put a slight bend down in the closest cross tube that has the steering so high. Fine tuning.
It's just gets better and better ❤
Watching every part upto future end part🔥🔥
Cant wait for the bodywork!!
Hell yeah brother!!
killing it man looking great!
already fiending for the next episode
Master fab work on a way cool project
Faster than Aston Martin already, well done.
Your a dork! Love you Bro!!!
fabulous project and chassis ! light is right !
no need for more weight on the front?
Not sure about the clutch pedal, but this is super exciting. We're getting close to track ready :)
Raising the steering was a good idea, the only thing I would suggest is reconsidering the three pedals, considering that 90% of the time the clutch is only used when taking off or coming to a stop on a bike you could probably get away with a hand clutch
Thank you TH-cam for recommending this video.
Hi, look at the bearings of the shocks you will get there fatigue problems.
Best regards Sebastian
Those pedals can be mounted from the top. That should give you the clearance for the steering shaft. You have to unbolt the gas pedal and mount it to the other side.
Nice work ❤️ 👍🏼
For the pedal floor, turn it into a pan, with sides, riv-nuts on the inside of the tubes, now the floor can be as low as the bottom of the tube, not on top of the frame tubes.
Radiators that close to you!?! 😳 ooooof. Better hope they don't burst or leak on you if you do happen to crash...
SIK BUILD THOUGH. 🎉
Damn im so exited for the : Trying out the Formula 1 car for the first time
We want an experience in corners and high speeds
If you could add one more bearing at the end of the steering shaft quite a bit of pressure at the end of it when you are turning. But friggin awesome job
Love ya project there mate, wanted to see how many people have made a Formula 1 car and you came up👍 what parts do you need? i can hook you up with some.
2:33 electricians and plumbers would be like, yeah that's fine it still has all the other ones though. that'll last at least another year 😂
Turn your bell cranks around and fit your shocks to the very front bar. Then you'll have more room for pedals.
Cant wait to see this car done, i hope you will give it some usefull Areo, so it can make a lot of downforce, like a Real f1 car
Radiators at an angle are more efficient. As the duct gets larger, the air slows down, which means more time to pass through the radiator and more time to absorb heat. Also less drag. Doubt you'll need both unless youre driving in traffic on the road.
you should make or get somone to make a fiberglass shell to it, because then it would actualy look like an f1 car
New to the channel but that's a pretty dope design dude
Great video again Kyle 👌. My favorite build so far 😎 Is it the camera angle or at both sidepot hoops shaped different? It looks weird on camera.
Awesome project.
How do you plan to attach the diff to the engine
Crazy idea but look into hydraulic steering for boats. Might be able to make it work on here and save some space.
Best Video of all time
🍁 great work
Appreciate it 😁😁
You should look into using stretched aircraft fabric for most of body, should be very lightweight and allow you to shape it in a way that looks good. The rear you'll need fiberglass, plastic, metal, etc for heat protection. The wings Id do in fiberglass but early formula cars used sheet metal
In a f1 car the outer tyre is more angeled because there is more pressure and grip, love your work
I really hope you're going to go with a collapsible steering column!
Gahhhh, hurry UP Kyle! I'm ready to see this thing rip at a track!
Trying!!!
@@Boostedlifestyle just messing with you bro! Love the build, and I can't wait to see that thing in action!
this project is a perfect example of why CAD is used. So many tubes and plates cut out in each video. The A arms look massive in comparison to the car.
Fun fact about steering wheels being slightly to the left, old F1 cars like the 1967 Lotus 49 had a steering wheel slightly to the left.
I’m currently doing a similar thing and running into issues with my steering column. What angle is your u joint at and where did you get it from I can’t find any that allow more than 35 degrees.
Yes!
Nice work Kyle, did you give any thought about using a quick shifter?
if you get an f1 style steering wheel it might solve the visual issues? love the series!
Maybe you can put the radiators a bit more foreward if you wanna have those massive f1 style sidepods
Being that you're running a motorcycle engine you could get away with putting the clutch on the shifter that way you only have the two pedals down by your feet. You could also run a air shifter that way you wouldn't really have to worry about using a clutch during the racing part of it just a couple of buttons for the up and down shift
Maybe the air running across the radiators should go to the engine and out at the back for cooling around the engine?
Are you gonna want to go for a more modern body style? Because I think something from the 70s when they just transitioned from the cigars into more shaped cars and bigger bump behind the head would work perfectly. Sadly the Engine sits quite high so the typical 60s cigar shape will be hard to pull off. Either way super excited for the progress. Greetings from Germany!
Also if you use ball joints you could lift the steering rack instead of making it offset
Also the water pump on the bike engine may be insufficient to pump thru both rads at sufficient flow
Looking good tho
Ours have the added issues of two seats ( one behind the other ) and fully road legal so lights etc and thru the test to allow full uk road use ( although we have 17 examples already done )
FINALLY!
