And with it being so light, a turbo would make it a real screamer!!
lmao typical civic driver
let me guess, it needs an ek9 style front lip and amber corners?

Yeah it's unique as it is, but it's not his. It's still a car and chassis that's been mass produced.
I'm not biting your immature remarks.

It would look fantastic in black or white with some deep watanabes
the mcdonalds colour scheme pictured doesnt do the car justice

Wheels are going to be real issue, very tight under the guards apparently and nothing wider than 6' with bugger all offset will fit without flares, not really a flares/body kits/etc kind of guy though.
Those wheels look alot like the minilites heaps of us have on clubbies, bit old school, i like.
And being a kit car getting built in a shed at home, they're all unique, be hard to build 2 the same if you tried, they are as different as the people that build them.
Wouldn't be more than 2-250 of these worldwide i reckon, its just and old bloke in UK welding up the frames and bits in his shed, he's trying to sell the business and retire now unfortunately, hopefully someone will pick it up.
And definately no turbo, no room, to hard and i like n/a, it'll be plenty quick enough and its all about the handling really, light is the key.

Looks like a great project.
I like your plan, the b18 will be plenty to get that chassis around pretty quick. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

So after 12 months of mocking up, fabbing stuff, faffing about, changing my mind, procrastinating, getting side tracked etc etc things are finally starting to move along less slowly, so time to start my build log!
TBH the only really issue I've had has been getting a gear shift I'm happy with, I really didn't want to go with cables and getting a shift rod to work was harder than I thought. The main problem being the selector shaft doesn't come straight out of the gearbox, rather it points up and to the left to run straight up the tunnel to the shifter in FWD form, and converting that to work on the other side of the motor for middie layout was a pain in the ar$e.
But after trying probably 7 different methods, and 2 different set of engine mounts to change angles I'm happy the way it turned out.
To the pics, here's some shots of early "throw the body and some wheels onit for a photo" photo or 3
