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.![](/images//smilies/cool.gif) ![](/images//smilies/cool.gif)
I'll go see if I can find a link..............................

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

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.

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? ![](/images//smilies/bigsmile.gif)

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..

No one is following his list. "Fast" is easy but he wants a roof and <12K Pounds. Mazda RX-7?
