fiberglass kit car mid engine 4 banger 5 speed space frame

That's nice.  I'd love to have a dedicated race car.  I could park it in the garage and make brrrmm noises all day long.

I love this thing! Thanks, Ed.

$21k. RNM

You could license that here in Utah. (People regularly plate SXSs) It would be a blast in our canyons.

Id be a little leery of the Renault parts in the USA, though.

This one (much prettier, imo) has a Ford Zetec. And it’s only £13K.

But FWIW, I think Danny has the right idea about race car toys.

Oooh, neat. Yeah, I was thinking the French car could be Subified or Ecoboosted or whatever the kids are doing these days.

Yeah, the Lotus 7 guys use Ecotec or Chevy 4-bangers. But this thing looks so much better than a 7.

It would be really cool with an Ecotec in it. Or maybe a late Toyota Celica/modern Lotus 4 banger.

So many neat little twincam/4-cam engines available these days. And all you have to do to be fast is plug them in.

(Of course, to be really cool, you'd also have to get a set of ITBs rigged up. Which makes me wonder...has anyone done that to a Suby yet?)

Yes.

The yellow car at the top has ITBs. It appears Subaru has changed the design to use a timing chain instead of a belt.

The Scion FRS, Toyota 86, and Subaru BRZ are all basically the same car with a Subaru engine. Pretty much all three are THE autocross KING.

A 310hp 2.3 EcoBoost crate motor is about $1K more than a CB Builders choice engine kit.

When I get daydreaming about Kirkham’s building me a Cobra, that’s what I’d put in it.
