Hi there, just a quick intro.

I've had the idea of building a 2L XE engined Locost for a while and now I've come across an engine that keeps the costs down and I'm ready to begin.

So I'll no doubt start with the daft questions soon.

Are there many Scottish members? any with XE'd cars in Scotland?


Cheers


Kenny

Hello...

Best of luck and all that.

Dunno much about scotland.

Think there are a few scots on here like us hope your build goes well. Iain't started yet.

if you go to the next section down there is a meet of some of the scots members in the not to distant future .i don't know if this would be of any use to you?
good luck with the build . scott

also get to have a chat with Ned and NS Dev. They are both building with that engine and can talk you through the issues.

there are several other builders using the xe engine, though none i'm aware of in scotland. also skippad, billy and stu16v have xe cars on the road. there are also a lot of caterfields about with xe's in, so their forums are worth a visit every now and then.

there is a fair amount of info on previous posts, so a search can yield a lot of answers, but anythihg you can't find, just ask...

Ned.

Hi Kenny. there's a meetin of the local scottish lads in planning in the clubs and events section. come along if u like- theres lots of experienced guys around so help and advice is available.

Cheers for the welcome guys.

I'll search before I ask.

I'll try and pop along to the meet as well, I've never been in a two seater before so maybe I can blag a passenger ride in one

Scotlad do you go up to Knockhill often?

also a scottish newbie planning on going to the knockhill event on the 27th of march i think a few of the others are plannning on going?

Thinking of going as well - although that's obviously not a locost you see on the left

The locost now has a worthy owner

I should be at that event, I'm normally at every hot hatch day, but havent made it to any this year yet
