Poll
Question:
What should he build? I kept the kit choices to ~$7-8000. That excludes the Catfish and the DBR1, both of which don't leave much room on a $15,000 budget. Let's pick his next project for him!
Option 1: Exocet
votes: 2
Option 2: Seven

Seven FTW. My vote is based on looks only as I know nothing of these kits.
I vote Seven as well.
I'd opt for something like this...

Going to have to be miata based/powered.
I read option 3 as Windows service pack 1 :confused:
I vote Seven but any of them would be a lot of fun.
Is #3 a TVR?

The front lights look straight off a TVR, which I think makes it look pretty cool. Overall vibe of it is definitely TVR inspired.
You know my pick :wub:

The 3rd picture has the new bodywork, I believe. Much more angular and better looking.
It also has a boosted LS motor in it :lol:
Well, without the hole in the hood it probably looks better than the older bodywork.
Call up Exomotive and order one of these

I excluded it and the Catfish because they cost double the kits in the poll. Pay attention.
SP1. That 7 kit looks horrendous. Maybe even worse than the Exocet even.
They all look like shit, to be honest.
Exocet is for the undeterred purist
There is nothing romantic or nostalgic about it. It's a cage, seats, controls, engine, drivetrain, suspension, brakes, wheels. No bullshit. Just driving.
My dream project is one of those with a Honda J35 engine in it. Do it for me please :(

That's a random Seven pic I found... no idea what kit that is but there are some really nice ones out there.

There's no value to it like a Seven, which has a significant fan base, and thus resale value if/when he chooses to sell.
Why would he sell

Because Mike offered him half the build cost duh

Based on a Miata? That would be different...

Does it have to be Miata-based?
How about a Ginetta then?

If I could do a ffr cobra for 15k done, i would.
Well guys, this week I'm going to have to make my decision and place my order. Still don't know 100 percent what I'm going to do. Either way, I think I won't be disappointed.
The choice is simple brah.
So this was all a scam. You aren't actually doing it. You wuss.
The Intrepid and the ebay V10 TDI Touareg scandal pt 2
Just talking with Keith from flyin miata last week. Questions on some options and other things. Just emailed him monday morning with the finalized specs for the order.
Post the damn order sheet then!
I haven't yet received anything back from them regarding the order. I hope to soon, I'd like to get the order in, he said it would be about 4 to 6 weeks from order to shipment.
Well, post the email of what you're asking for then. This thread is dying. Revive it
I'll hopefully have some good news by the end of the week. I don't know what you are looking for. The email will pretty much be what I've already said.
