In december 2004 we officially formed a national locostclub here in Sweden.
We have had a very active forum since autumn 2003 and we felt to take it one step further.
We aim to gather and organize all locost-/hicost-builders of all kind here in sweden. We are at this moment 70 members after only 2 months.
Future plans are plenty of trackdays, shows and other gatherings.

In the end of march we have 4 cars on display at Swedens (scandinavias?) biggerst carshow called Bilsport Performance and Custom Motor show, with around 60.000-70.000 visitors in 3 days.
And already 2 trackdays booked in the clubs management.

Some of us is also going to Stoneleigh Show in May. Maybe we´ll meet there.



Our website is here ->Locostsweden MK
Unfortanatly only in swedish, but there´s always pics to see.

sorry jonte,andy (donut) wouldnt know an indy if it ran him over

its a good site,shame i cant understand the posts

LOL

Didn´t Donut build a Indy some years ago or was that just a dream ?

yes but it scared him so he sold it

Oi..it didn't scare me!! I have a Mazda MX5 now so as you see i'm as hard as nails.. Grrrrrrrrr

Andy,

Is it a 1.6 or 1.8? I've heard you can buy light pressure turbo kits for them to run on a standard engine...

Then you could add spin dry to the price list

Ned

I have a 1.6 which is 114bhp and 0-60 in 8.5 secs. Not blistering but good enough for me! Don't want to get my hair out of shape do i !!

Yes you can get turbo's that bolt on and also superchargers. They are about £1200-£1400 a peice. Not worth it in mho as the mazda is fab as it is. I was out in it with a mate with the hood down in the snow and it was great! Nice and warm with my awesome heater and some Jean Michel Jarre to keep us company..........Great stuff!

MX5 awesome heater and a pair of scissors,LOL

Well i'll be the one laughing when i get out my 5 all toasty and warm with my hair in place (what little there is left after my haircut!!) and not frozen to the steering wheel with chattering teeth!!

Swedish is very easy to learn.

ex: One onion is "Lök", two onions is "Lök lök"

as simple as that

I will remember that for the stoneleigh bar-b-q
