this car weighs 1,822 lbs and i think the torque or (lack of) from the 13b would be perfect.
|
Pretty bad lookin' little car. What is it?
|
Def. interesting...reminds me of the kit similar to that for NSX's
|
I have a bunch of pictures of that car from MIR a few years back kicking around at home if anyone wants to see more...

It's an K1 Attack. |
The doner car is a Honda accord, if I am not mistaken.

It would awsome to have a rotary in that! The 13B would be incredible but, imagine a 20B in a less than 2k lb car!!
|
it is the k1 attack, and the donor car is an accord but check this out:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/...n1329941.shtml There was a video but i can't find it now... maybe on youtube. If i'm not mistaken they used a volkswagen turbo diesel. Found it: Video |
It seems to cost arround 35-50 grand to build one of these thing.
Here is one of there forums. www.attackforums.com You can buy a used one for 50 g's in the for sale section. I could find a better way to spend 50 g's |
At 50 g's I'll stick with my FD. Think of what you could do to an FD with $50 large!
|
if you are into looking for a kit car ... this is a much better well thought out one . for your money...http://www.factoryfive.com/table/sho...06/sema06.html
|
Everything you want it your wish list LOL!
|
My friend is also building a attack. The accord is only used for the engine and tranny and a few other peices. But the accord and prelude rune the same mounts so you can use the preludes H22 with 220 horse stock. My friend is building a turbo h22 with every bolt on you can think of for his K1, and he is planning on 350 horse with low boost.
I am planning on building the GTM next winter/spring. I just love the GM LSx motors. |
the gtm is a far better way to go then this , but that is just my silly opinion...if I were in a market for one it would be the gtm

What transmission would/could you use for a mid engined 13B/20B?
|
Take off all the stickers and BS, and the K1 is a semi-exotic, modern looking car. The Accord donorship means nothing because you can retrofit in any powerplane that will fit. Finish, fitment, handling capability, and braking would need to be top notch for me to even consider a kit like this.
The GTM is nice, but I believe the designers just barely missed the mark, aesthetically speaking. |

The only reason the GTM exists is because they were looking at alternatives to the Ultima. I still think the Ultima is the Ultimate kit car..

Although I agree to some extent that there are a couple things about the GTM that aren't perfect, it's a hell of a lot better than this... http://www.ultimasports.co.uk/records/part3.html |
