I would hazard a guess it's going to be some sort of car.... Or maybe some fancy multi layered climbing frame for the local playground? ;D

its a Focket. or a fonic, perhaps a frike, maybe even a fatom. quite possibly a feco-fexo.
these word combination names have put me off building a diesel bike.

I was going to build a front engined Rocket and call it a Fecket, but I went for EXOCET as my first idea sounds like a foul mouthed Irish mans comment. The car is miles off complete, will try to complete fabrication of the chassis this week, (2 Sonics going out this week though so we are a little busy) it will look a little like a car for Newark. Now we have all the options covered so this will be my last kit car offerering, sorry, too expensive to keep developing new models, now I know why the rest of the industry has just about nothing new to offer, lying dormant almost. We can now please those that wish to leave the old school 7 style behind but don't get the advantages of middies. It will be ideal for drifting too so the Max Power boys should like this one, oh and it will most definately be the easiest kit car to build in the world. Of course exceptional value too. Anyway I am still at it at 10 on a Sunday and Julie doesn't pay me enough so I'm off to bed to try and dream how the devil I will get the engine under the front cover. Power bulge is a possibility. Good night /morning people, Stiggy

a nissan 200sx would be a good donor, an awkward isntall in a typical 7 due to gearbox width. Cant wait to see this at NEWARK SHOW 19TH AND 20TH JUNE. hint hint moggers. will

Well spotted, quick for a dinosaur aren't you! The Toyota engine belongs to a chap from Belgium who is putting it in a Sonic, it was just in the back ground when I took a pic of the tubes for EXOCET. Sorry if I inadvertantly misled anyone! The MX5 is a brilliant donor, and I sold all the bits I didn't need for far more than the whole car cost. Black chassis, orange grp coming soon.
