Thought I might just introduce myself here as I can't find the usual "New Members" thread.
My nickname is Cainzy, I'm 24 and I am looking at starting a build which might be a bit of a Marmite one for the more serious builders.
I intend to drop a Japanese engine in a chassis of something like Caterham (Lotus 7 replica) or Tiger etc. I'm not going to claim to know everything about kit cars, as I pretty much know nothing
I do have all the tools I need and a rough idea of what I want. There aren't any drawings as of yet. If I need any, I don't know. I also have mechanical experience (all be it limited to age!), and I'm quite handy with TIG and MMA welding.
There are a few builds that have Jap engines if your looking for non Litus seven type. Ones I can think of off the top of my head:
Tribute Automotive -mx5
Murtaya - Subaru impreza
Furore F1 Replica -mr2
But being a kit car, can put what you want in within size limits!
