Its one of my favorite cars but I don’t think id ever want to drive one on the road... with how many farmers there are around here driving big a-- trucks and how bad of drivers they are ex: (thinking red lights stop signs etc. don’t apply to them) id be to concerned for my own well being... now if it was just going to be for driving on the track than it would be great.
I heard they make a race version of it to, but I don’t know if there is any truth behind that rumor as I’ve never done any research on it.
Awesome car though

OMFG!!!!! That was the funniest thing i have ever seen in my life when he started accelerating and his face was being blown back and flapping in the wind. I could not stop laughing for like 10 minutes. That was freaking awesome!

that was awsome. for 20K thats a decent price for something that fast that you can drive on the road. the build up of the motor alone is probably somewhere around 8K. the rest in fabrication. i would think its well worth it. WOW thats just sweet!

But remember thats 20k in british pounds which is about $55,000cdn.
I think it looks pretty good. I would buy one in a heart beat. Also its a civic type R motor in there which is supercharged. In England the civic type R came with 200hp not 160 like in the US and Canada.

20,000.00 GBP = 37,430.89 USD Or 46,208.94 CAD
They are supposed to be like a Lotus Elise but far better and faster.
Wouldnt like to have one in the UK mind. NO roof No sides. It rains like 98% of the time.
It has a Honda iVETEC 2.0 4 Cylinder engine with 220hp with 190Nm Torque. You can have the options of 2 supercharged engine producing 275hp or 300hp
Oh It weighs around 456kgs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUN

cant you do something by buying a civic and striping it down to it's frame?
It can't be too hard to built one from scratch if yo know cars and welding...it's just an engine on a frame.
You know what would be cool, doing the same thing with a KLZE, B6T ot even a BPT
