wow nice, so looks like it needs a donor frontcut from some kind of WRX to be bluetacked to the front? I should probably google it but I'm about to leave the office :)

Ya oughta see if TopGear will do a review and powerlap in one. Being AWD, 200+kw and light as a feather, it should do a good time.

How many have you sold?

haha, no doubt Jeremy Clarkson will either claim it's either "THE best car" or "THE worst car". Would be amusing to watch as always tho :)

hehe... Jeremy is a laugh but I was told by the manufactures http://adrenalinemotorsport.co.uk/ that Top Gear doesn't do kit cars??? which is strange cause I'm sure the Atom is a kit car :confused:

Check out http://www.murtaya.com This guy brought one for himself (in the USA) and has devoted this whole webpage to it and others :)

Check out some of the Videos on YouTube, search 'Murtaya' I get tooooo excited when I watch them... just about have to change my jocks :mrgreen:

The first demo car Adrenaline Motorsport built was a stock road going version with a early WRX running gear and they managed to get 0-60mph (0-100kms) in 3.7 seconds.

I have 2 kits here at the moment and 1 will be our demo to get ADRs done and the other kit may end up over east as a demo car there. I will be taken orders once all the engineering work is sorted ;) so I'll keep everyone upto date as it happens.

I've been quietly waiting for this so looking forward to the build with lots of photos and tech.

BTW - Love the SVX (and it's number plate) and...is that your 22B?

Yeah... I'll be taking lots of pics :D

and yep... That's my baby, the 22B. Here's some pics that a friend from Perth-WRX took almost 2 years ago... http://ozcarsightings.com/subaru22bphotoshoot.php His name is Jan (said like Yarn) and takes some awesome shoots. He just recently took pics of a S201 (another P-WRX members car) and my 22B, you'll find them in his latest additions on his home page :cool:

This is just rough figures at this stage but we would like to keep the price as low as possible so we're hoping to sell the complete kit minus the donar car for around $35k.

More info to follow...

Yes and yes...

First kit is starting to go together nicely, It helps when we know where all the bits go but that's why we are putting 1 together first and to also get ADR's on them.

Website is about to go online but only has a development page for the time being and we hope to be fully up and running by the time the Demo car is complete :)

Neil, I'll be coming home next Thurs (28th) in the arvo, if you want to call me on my mobile. Probably best, as I tend to forget who to ring when I first get home :???:

I wouldn't mind having a peek at this car myself, assuming I can find the time.
