Exocet kit spec

[mikeeyboy]

Hi all, I am using this as an introduction - this is my first post.

I live in Sheffield and have recently aquired a mk2 1.8 donor car from another member on here who is building a replicar which looked stunning btw!

I will post a build thread once I commence the strip down, but currently I have a question regarding the kit.

I read about a lightweight kit that did away with the mx5 sub frames, is this no longer available? It seemed like a really good idea to save a chunk of weight.

Anyone have a definite answer? I searched but didn't get much.

Cheers

Mike

Firstly welcome to the forum hopefully somebody will be around to answer your questions

There was about 3/4 lightweight models made but with the additional bracing and mounting parts on the frame the difference in weight wasn't that big of a difference. That was the reason when I orderd my kit 3 maybe 4 years ago now.

Buy the current Exocet design (it's got to be lighter than the original from what I've seen) & then contact " Crapengineering " for their lightweight subframe.
