There's one I often take a look at down in the carpark, an engineer takes in on a friday.

Does look good.

They're not THAt expensive so long as you don't buy most of the stuff from them

Can am price list

For example what's that brake line kit made of?

Platinum?

Cheers

The black one is owned by a plumber from somewhere near Pontefract - it cost him about £60k to build himself, but it has an all alloy engine which cost a lot in itself. Very nicely finished car.

Never seen the yellow one around here though - will have to keep an eye out for that.

I see quite a few, often outside my house

Have a feeling Reman on here does too

My mate and his dad own Ultima, and my mate lives not too far from Reman!

Its nice to have Ultima and Noble within 2 miles of home!

I'm almost suprised they've never released a budget engine option based on an audi v8 and transaxle.

£60 quid i thought people had trouble trying to build a car for £250.

Not sure it would be any cheaper.

350hp chevy is £1800 out of the box brand spankers

But how much for the porsche gearbox? The audi engine would come with it's own transaxle and must be cheaper even if it needs converting from 4wd to 2wd?!

Dunno about a yellow one but I saw a Red Can-Am Spyder going through Market Deeping last weekend and it sounded fab, even though it seemed to be chuntering along in first (at 30mph), and was not happy running that slowly!


greggors84 - 20/3/07 at 04:42 PM

Saw one up at Bedford Autodrome on saturday on the back on a AA flatbed!

Depends how you get the gearbox.

To be fair to you or I it would be £1500 to £2000 s/h, but given the right contacts, brand new from porsche is much cheaper than you might think

Its also the only mid engine gearbox that will cope with 700+ hp in std form for the nice side of £15,000
