Hi, first post here. I saw the MEV Exocet in the flesh at the Stoneleigh show earlier this year - and I'm really interested in building one at some point - I've long been a fan of high performance MX5's - I own the website:-
MX5 Turbo and Supercharger FAQ
I like the Ultima GTR, but they appear to be very expensive and time consuming to build.
One of the things that is putting me off is the lack of weather kit for the Exocet. I can't really afford to run three cars and haven't gotten around to building a garage yet.
So, are there any plans for a basic all-year round version of the Exocet? I mean, still super lightweight, very raw care - but with a heater, roof, half-doors and windows?
I know it seems to go against the grain of the Exocet a little bit and it would be easy to point me towards the MEVX5, but really the MEVX5 as nice as it is seems to be a styling exercise more than a serious performance increase?
How much weight would a windscreen, wipers, heater and soft top add to a lightweight exocet?
