Wish they were out when I started my Locost, would have been so easy to do your own version. A build time in a few weeks instead of years.
Cheers,

install??

That's a newish donor. Good thinking, can save a lot of money by getting a newer donor, a lot less reconditioning is needed

remap:
yeah a soon as its all road legal and been running sweet, it would appear the turbo cud be shot.. good excuse to fit a bigger one
caravan:
parents 2 berth im afraid, im not allwed near it after i punctured the skin with the donor car door
Donor business:
My donor was a 2004 C-Max (mk3 focus running gear), and despite been newer things still needed cleaning and finishing. donor cost £3k for a stolen
recovered with no wheels or keys.
build:
slower than expected..
if you go buy the book and use a mk1 1.6 focus, the thing flys together.
almost every part in the kit had to be changed to work around that engine. wiring research and loom making took 6 weeks!
that trackday sounds good, but im starting uni in 3 weeks time so wont be registering/insuring/taxing car until 15th dec.

I'm all for bio-diesel sports cars. I really want you to let us know how it runs flat out.
Welcome btw.

just had an e-mail from MEV - there NOT doing a trackday on the 28th.
as much as i like my diesel pocket rocket, engines are naff. cant wait until we see internal combustion at the 21st century equivalent of a steam
rally. '35% efficiency....those were the days'
