Have you had a ride in a 200SX powered kit car yet? They are absolutely ballistic...
A friend just bought the yellow Stylus that was featured in Kit Car mag awhile back. It's only the 1.8 200SX motor but has A LOT of extras. It is
absolutely insane on the road and slightly unuseable for normal day to day driving.
Are you thinking of a lot of track work?

You'll all laugh at me for saying this, but....
That white car of G.Man's is one of the nicest looking I've seen in some time.
The white could be very 'plain', but after seeing all the reds and blacks and yellows/oranges....well. that white is a pleasing and welcome
change.
Well done G.Man, just for being different, and making it work.
Cheers,
Syd.
Agree with Syd, White was my first choice, but I bought a black scuttle and wings ('cos they were cheap), and it grew on me.
Chris Masons white S2000 powered car looks good too.
Marcus
My stylus as I bought it (without engine and wheels though) It's currently in dry storage as my house with garage is not finished yet (by end of
june)
It will be very low budget build. Only problem is to be able to register it in Belgium it needs an injection engine.
For the rest, Ebay is my partner
Sorry i'm late chaps...
SVA in a few weeks

Bought the kit from luego, but wouldn't go in my shed so it sat in my back garden.
Then we moved and into a garage it went. Then we had an extension built so the car moved outside again until the builders had finished, but after that
the MIL'S crud filled the garage and still does. So presently I am using the time to strip my doner.
Further pics can be seen in my photos.

Progress as of two days ago 1.8 cvh type 9 old granada rear suspension on a custom de-dion. Current spend is roughly £500.
The inner space next to the welded panel (the bit you can see the wire croppers through) is also now a welded panel. Hoping to have a rear bulk head
welded in soon and all the other interior welded stuck in too. Probably going overboard with the steel, but hey ho.

Why does the exhaust go round the engine like that? Seems like excess pipework and extra under bonnet heating.
