Haven't joined in really since I moved to Singapore and then Houston!
Back in the UK these days, finally have a garage (currently with my 950 miles Clio V6 in it) so do need to get a project going!
Will spend some more time perusing these forums from now on
Get building and post your progress
Well, yes sir
There are two projects I'd really love:-
1. A Group C car (which I originally posted on here about, many years ago) like GTRCLIVE's 962 on Pistonheads.
2. A mid-engine coupe with either a revvy Honda red top (B or K) or a bike engine.
I want 9,000+ rpm before those engines are extinct!
Liking the look of this: http://speed3automotive.co.uk/
But think I would prefer an RS200 or 6R4 body shell!
I am also harboring strange thoughts of a bike-engined original Panda (my first car) having just got back from Rome.
6R4 oh yes the days of Will Gollop
Welcome back to the the mad house

Sounds like you need to drive the Clio some more

There is a mk3 MR2 based panel swap RS200 on the market form Tribute (no IVA).
This may be more to your liking in terms of a mini Group C car, no idea if they are still building but got good reviews a while back, may be worth a
call, K20 engine mated to an Audi A4/Boxster transaxle would be interesting - http://www.retoga.com/
Why not go the whole hog and go for a Startos replica with an Alfa v6 ?
I do need to drive it more but it doesn't go out in Winter.
To be fair, I bought it last year with 650 miles on the clock so I've added a large percentage more
It has also been valued at £40k on an agreed valuation policy, so I do have 'second thoughts' about getting it out, sometimes.
It's tempting to 'take the profit', buy a 'used' car with it and bank the rest for a proper project.

I have finished building and am now driving a Hayabusa Deman SR7 kit in the colonies (Vancouver, Canada).
... lovely and quick (as you might expect)

... You can check it out if you like. ... It is, pretty much, what you'd expect.
... Now, I'm looking for more build ideas for a new project and that means there is only one place to look, ... right here!
