Hiya all,

I'm currently looking into my first kit car project very exciting!

I'm looking for car something like the 5exi/k1 attack(particularly like this, tho it’s a bit pricy for me (only 21) )/Veranti (mr2 mod) really like this, but I have yet to drive an mr2 (so not sure on performance) also not sure on the safety angle when chopping the roof off...

Anyway, if anyone has any pics/links to alternatives and or similar cars they would be much appreciated

Cheers for the help all,
sure I will asking loads more questions..
I will also no doubt see some of you at goodwood this year as I plan on having a god look at what’s on offer while I’m there.

Thanks Meeja

IMHO Althalus the 5exi will be the cheaper of the cars you mention when it comes to a final build cost.

Don't be put off by that statement either. I have heard of various people comparing the 5exi on a par to cars like the GTM Libra recently. This will most certainly cost more to build. Both however are very good cars.

It might be worth checking the forum on Madabout Kit Cars http://forum.madabout-kitcars.com/ where a few 5exi builders are giving some good feedback.

My website is in my profile. That will show you some of how the car is built and some of the problems I have had.

I am a build virgin as are many of the builders. It is apparently a good first build. My only word of warning to this is being as the car is so new, the build manual is still undergoing constant updates.

As for the MR2 (I've got one of those too), they are not that fast unless you buy a turbo car or get a standard car tuned. I would imagine the Veranti weighs more than the standard car too as it has additional structural support and the hood mechanism.

90% of kit cars designed for speed will be quicker and (if set up right) better handling than the MR2. IMO of course.

If you want any info you can email me via my profile.
