My dream car would be mid-engined and have double wishbones at all four corners. I was close when I owned a '72 Lotus Europa, but I really want to check all my boxes this time, and Backbone Chassis are lame. I'd much rather have a monocoque or a spaceframe.I'd like something cheap and low-powered, and I don't give a shit about fancy interiors. Is importing an Opel Speedster/Vauxhall VX220 my only option? Used Lotus Elise prices are too high for me.I can't seem to find any kit cars that fit my needs, A street legal Lotus 23 would be ideal. The Midlana is ugly and It's hard to find FWD subframes with double wishbones, (older Honda maybe?) and I guess the FFR 818 may be an option maybe, I'm not sure if the rear suspension is double wishbones on those tho?
Samefag here, damn this is close, but too pricey, and i'd have to import it and figure out the title and registration shit. Close tho....
Personally I want to build a lancia stratos kitHelluva car
>>28908052How much are they?
>>28908052This is a fantastic idea, didn't realize there were kits out there. I wonder what I'd use inplace of the Dino motor? Maybe a Busso?
>>28908016Go buy a clean MR2 and get over yourself.
>>28908016What you're asking for is the opposite of a rental car. only the most specialized elite vehicles are designed with these elements>bones>midship >manual
>>28908016Why do you want that configuration so badly your willing to spend new car money on old jalopies or overpriced erector sets?
>>28908016mcdonalds suspension is better
>>28908090Most of the kits are designed around the European market and use parts commonly and cheaply available there, so most of them use some variant or another of Alfa engines.That said, I do vaguely recall seeing one that was designed for a Toyota V6 similar to what's in the Lotus Evora.
>>28908052Problem is the kits are gonna be worse than the real thing unless you invest a bunch of time in fixing that typical kit part quality control up. >>28908090I'd use a J series and put some ITBs and a 6-1 exhaust on it. Fuck dealing with busso prices and quality issues. Notice that the stratos that didn't have the 6-1 exhaust sound like dogshit and the ones that did sound decent. The exhaust is important.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXQVfOmSzwc&
>>28908016I think a factory 5 GTM fits that list. You'll never build one and complain an already built one is too expensive.
>>28908085>>28908090Lister Bell sells kits that are inquire only for price which probably means 100k for the frame, fiberglass body and most things minus the engine/trans200k+ prebuilt from montane motors, the us domestic lister bell distributorOriginal had a Ferrari v6 but good luck finding one of those, probably want a Toyota/lotus or alfa romeo v6Montane does the lotushttps://montanemotors.com/turin-corsica-specsAlso an inquire for price situation

>>28908128What the fuck else would I spend new car money on? A new car? New cars are garbage.
>>28908189Something faster, more reliable, better looking, more comfortable, easier to repair, and generally better?
>>28908201Yeah, that's what I said! A car from before electronic nannies!
>>28908204So funny watching knowers interact with a NPC. The "man" you're talking to can't fix anything or stand more than 1 second of not being comfortable. Be weary of any advice from these kinds.
>>28908111This.Just whack this on https://wilhelmraceworks.com/shop/Rear-Double-A-Arm-Conversion-p594211655
>>28908211Yes but it's only the rears and only on the SW20There's a rear double wishbone kit for the Lotus Europa as well but the stupid Backbone Chassis is still there. Looks like the Matra D'Jet might fit the bill though.
