Street Buggies!!

[Babe Tomahawk]

Eventually ended up on this video link after looking at that formulacross vid...I dig the sound of the full liter Kawi motor in this thing

[Jester]

hiorrible pic i know, but i saw this up at kellers a few weekends ago.. i guess its like an overly glorified sprint car.. i was looking around for the trailer it had to have come in on when i looked down and noticed the headlights!

wharz pic?

[naynay]

now THATS a hot little car!

[76 Maverick]

Those obviously wont be street legal cars will they?

[Slowhand]

Someone posted a video about this little guy a while back, but they just released pricing and availability info. Not exactly a buggy, more of a pint-sized rally car, but it's in a similar vein and I've a serious hankering for one. Based on a quad platform (YFZ 450), kit comes with everything you need and is essentially bolt-together.




$7500 for the kit + the cost of a YFZ 450. I bet you could throw one of these together for not much over $10k. Also talking about coming out with kits based on other quads.

Ah shit!! It's not exactly what I'm looking for, but I certainly wouldn't turn it down.

Estimated 1900lbs.
Ls7 with some goodies. 550hp built by Katech.

It doesn't normally have those nasty mufflers on it, but the 70 year old man driving it said it was too loud for him.

I would not want to build a locost.

[matts5.0]

From what a sawthe locost is basically a cut up miata.

[Matt]

That looks more like a Lotus Super 7 kit than a street buggy. If you're into that search "Locost". Tons of inexpensive home-builds that look like that.

Except where the motor sits and this one uses a fwd platform engine setup
