Hi guys
It is long time since i have been on here. One of the reasons is that i have been quite busy converting my 1970 Lotus Europa to a 5 speed gearbox, as the old 4 speed was shot.
Working on the Europa, has given me the urge to build a car more or less from the bottom. And for quite some...
Awesome, just awesome. Iam toying with the idea of building a car for the Danish hill climb series. Thinking about a Mini Marcos.
What kind of wheels are you running? Any pics?
Cheers guys, and yeah you can first really appreciate an Europa when you stand next to it. It is so rediculously low, only 1 meter high. That makes it a bit more dramatic in person.
Only mods going on now is fitting a leather covered centre console and door sides. Only need to do the passenger...
I don't know mate. It defenietly is a 1955 Chevy 2dr Hard Top. I googled the black top thing and it looks similar.
This one is being built for historic drag racing. It has a 8 litre or something V8 with eletronic injection and alot of other toys, and those huge intake stacks.
I think he said...
Yeah it doesn't hang about. It is way faster than the pinto powered seven i had before. And the VERY cramped interior makes it quite a scary experience.
Cheers guys, i know its looks are a bit of marmite. I actually quite like it. You can't call it pretty, i guess it got character at best. But these cars are all about the driving experience anyways.
Yeah it is real minilites, but only alloy ones, not magnesium. Tyres are R888's.
And it is a S2 with the the Renault engine. This had however been converted to a crossflow engine like the ones in the Alpine A110 1600S. Mine is bored up to 1750 ccm and with some other goodies.
The engine...
Yeah the banks cars do look amazing. It is just a shame, that they don't make the 47 design above in 13".
15" just looks to big. Would love a set in 13" with knock off though.
And i think the minilites will look way better than those horrible slot mags. Also the mags are very heavy, and also...
Ali your old mans Z looks amazing. I actually read an article about the Samuri's not so long ago. It will be worth holding on to for sure.
Do you have any pics from the side? Is it on Compomotive minilites? I have only seen them on watanabes so far. But the Comps are awesome wheels.
I like that it is LHD ;)
The plan is some track days and hill climbs, hence the steering wheel. It is maybe getting a cage next winter. Wouldn't want to crash in this thing.
And yeah it is the Renault engine. Allthough this is a Cross Flow one from a Alpine A110 1600S. It is bored to 1754 cc...
Well new to me
I bought my Europa in the end of November. But due to a lot of snow and me working in the UK, i didn't have a chance to pick it up before last friday. I borrowed a large trailer and a 4x4.
BTW my first mod when i got it home, was to install the steering wheel. It has a quick...
