How many cages are built from box?
I know of two.
But that was an issue in the IVA.
Cage not chassis
As said, Ill tack it and get someone proficient to complete it, but will learn anyway for possible future projects.If it’s that soon pay someone to do it
Youl weld it up all gung ho and being box it will flex and distort unlike tube, then spend longer realising you needed more cross bracing and gussets to be repairing than racing
Anyone know anything about Formula student ? Its a competition that a huge amount of Universities and colleges take part in, designing and building a single seater racing car. As far as i know the chassis design is fixed, but the other parts like engine suspension can be varied.
Knew a little bit when at smu.
It has a lot of fixed regulations.
Maximum engine size of 600cc, has to be 4 stroke and have a starter motor. And has if my memory is correct either a 18 or 19mm inlet restricted.
Minimum weight limit, and size restrictions also.
Alot of tuning and developments in suspension and chassis.
I know the 2012/2013 Swansea met uni chassis were built in collaboration with pro drive also so big names help out.
Only really used for 3 challenges per event.
Hi, I have looked at a lot of chassis plans, kit car chassis, hotrod chassis etc but I haven't found anything suitable for the 4WD set up I'm after. I will also be fitting a complete fibreglass bodyshell.I have seen some of the chassis, and often thought they would be a good basis for what the original poster was looking to do.

would be interested in you ideas first of all as if your planning on using Audi tt running gear (probably 1.8 20vt bam 225 engine)
They would be no use as far to small for any type of car engine. Most run cbr600rr engines or smaller turbo single/twin engines now for volumetric efficiency.
For the OP to get a 4wd car for rallycross or autograss to meet the msa blue book it would have to be thoughily thought out first.
Some really cars that we have been competing against have been outlawed to to constant changes in regs. Look at David kynaston Audi a3 or Andy burton 306 cosworth for 2 examples.

And the quattro system (probably not the best of choices due to the haldex rear axle)
But trying to build it with a space frame which racing class would it come under?
What exactly are you looking for?
I have exactly one of those sat outside i bought for a project, then promptly ran out of money.
(Mine is an APX so no expensive EGT sensor, but still a 225 Quattro.)
The car will be for hillclimbs/sprints and would be in the sports libra class.
I will be using the 1.8T as you say but because of the Haldex 4WD system, but I am on tarmac not the loose stuff, I find it works very well in this discipline.
What were the issues with the outlawed cars, were these in rallycross?
