hi

i'am looking to build another kit,
mid engine this time
must be:
-fast, v8 or turbo audi etc.
-coupe ( roof)
-suitable for daily use
-12000 pounds max.

i just dont know which kits are available in UK,

can anybody help?

regards koen

If it was my money, I'd go for the K1 attack. Don't know if it could be done within the 12K budget but I'd definitely try.

That is one damn sexy motor.

I'll go see if I can find a link..............................

Goddamn Sexy Motor

lmp,as seen on the bec section....if only i had a sack full of cash

I agree, the K1 Attack is lovely, but the basic kit price is £12,500 ... too much for his budget.

You could try the Aeon GT; they reckon you can build one with the VAG 1.8T motor for somwhere in the £12,000-£14,000 range, so if you were careful, with a lucky engine-find, you might be able to pare that back to within your budget.

I rather fancy something different from the sevenesque styling next time, and the spyder version of the Aeon is on my tentative list, possibly with a V6 of some description. Haven't yet done any research to find out how good/bad it really is though. Anyone on the list either building or finished one, that would care to comment?

Cheers
Richard

But then that doesn't have a roof.................. or does it?

I like the GTM's

So do I




Although I would go for something like an Audi Turbo. In fact I may once I blow the K up again :-)

I never cared for how K1 (not necessarily their distributers) represented themselves - too much pseudo technical data. Please research the history of the company and the car - my advice is to buy a used one. If you take your time you may find one quite reasonable.

There's http://www.attackforums.com/ where you can find them for sale.

this one sven

hi all

thanks for the help
the aeon looks good!!

the GTM will be too expensive ( according to an other dutch builder)

thanks

koen de jong

Better save some more cash Koen, for the GTM!

By the way; theconrodkid, I just noticed your signature. It is mis-spelled (should read goudVis instead of gouduis). But have you got any clue what it means?

look hear for the LMP starter kit steave

http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=31726

IMHO the K1 looks pretty damn sexy! I don't care much for the big "attack" logo on the back though.. it needs to be covered up, it's just too ricer-like..

that would be LMP by Turner anytime!

@steven Turner, where's your mailbox? can't seem to reach you for a month now?

just need to get the striker sold, and it'll be build time again!

grtz Thomas

btw he Koen, do we know eatchother? KCC maybe?

that's waht I said,

build an LMP, 've been told there's a coupe version comming along,

otherwise a Aeon GT or blaze (former pell gennesis)

would still do the LMP without questions, one could faily easily make a roof section for that car.

grtz Thomas

I like the Turner LMP a lot; the styling, as well as the engineering. But Koen indeed wants a roof, and somewhat "daily practicality". I'm not too sure a LMP style car can deliver this.

But then again; Koen, take the LMP. It's soooooo nice......

I did do a 'roofed' LMP design (called the GT - very original!) for a guy who was looking to invest in the company. Still toying with the idea of producing it, though...

That is VERY nice IMO...... make it a removable roof and I recon that could be a Big winner.

Can't help thinking that looks very like the ultima......

now if you're hoping to steal business that has to be a good thing. If you're not, perhaps it isn't.

Steve,
Irrespective of the Ultima comparisons, that is beautiful. The proportions look very nice. Personally I'd want a big wing on the back (no accounting for taste, eh?) but I guess that would be easy to do

Cheers

Its bog all like an Ultima when your strapped into it

hmm its difficult to say , i think the LMP has defintely got an edge styling wise .

the ultima is getting dated ( did i say that) , it looks nice , but has done for the past 10 years .

i prefer the edgey look , its far more aggressive .

i dont think ultimas customer base would change much even if steve did make the coupe version .

I'd agree that it won't compete directly with an Ultima (although there is definatelly a market for an Ultima alternative as currently there isn't one in the UK)

For a start they are in different price brakets and the Ultima has a heady V8 with huge BHP potential.

I'd still say that design could be a winner, I do know that the closed top Ultima GTR is a much bigger seller than the open top Ultima Canam (which is a genuine convertible and better looking IMO)....... so it could well open up a whole new market.

Rescued attachment Aeon front.jpg

Complete with V6 too!

But not exactly as Aeon intended as it has been extensively modified (cosmetically) from the original design
