would this make a good track car
Hi guys
your eagle eyes are better than mine so woudl this make a good track car ?
Im not talking about engine, tyres etc more the chassis, suspension etc as the rest can be changed.
I really want another XE powered one, and this looks ok to me?
Thanks for your help

Don't think so.
I drive a 2B which is perfect for the roads here in France, but that's an Exmo (or whatever they called it) and it has the strange front
suspension, not wishbones.

Its not always about the car its about how you drive it. Track days arent competitive so you can have fun in ANY car on track, be it a 1.2 tintop, 2.0
repmobile or a lightweight kit.
You will certainly find there are faster and better handling kitcars on the market, but as with everything, its all relative.

I did look at this too, it's near and needs finishing so right up my street, although not worth £1500 as is in my opinion, but that front end
set up looks awful?

Best one so far! Looks like a book Locost so how good it is obviously depends on who welded it together but from what you can see (and for under £500
maybe...) could be worth a go

You can have my V8 Viento for £6k.
All registered and on the road (well not taxed at the moment, but could be)
All the fun you would ever need!!
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

The 1st one is a sub-k which uses a mini-mc pherson strut on the front and the whole sierra subframe on the rear

Too expensive for what I want mate and also wouldn't want a V8, thanks though
