I posted my car for sale locally, might as well put it up here too. I don't really ever get to drive it now, so not much point keeping it around. I copied and pasted my ad below, and of course there's tons more info and pictures in my build log as well as the completed builds section,links to those are in my signature below. I've got too many cars and projects at the moment, and besides, if I sell it it gives me an excuse to build a better one later.
I’m looking to sell my Locost 7. It’s a mostly homebuilt car, registered as a 2014 Ubilt. It passed a government inspection for a BC assigned vin, and insurance with ICBC is just like any other vehicle. The engine is a Ford 3.0 V6, gone through and checked, new bearing throughout, heads were milled and got a 3 angle valve job, ports are smoothed and cleaned up as well as enlarged to match the intake gasket. The transmission is a Mitsubishi KM112 5 speed, and there’s a custom built 9lb steel flywheel to make it work with the Ford engine. The rear axle, front spindles, and brakes are all early 80’s Toyota Corolla with fabricated suspension arms. The bodywork is aluminum and fiberglass, and the steel tube frame came from Champion Motorcars in the USA. The car weighs a little under 1300 lbs, and weight distribution is 47.3% front, 52.7% rear. The engine is estimated at roughly 200 HP, which puts the power to weight ratio pretty close to a Dodge Hellcat (6.5lbs/HP vs. 6.33 lbs/hp). It handles and drives like an oversized go-kart, and is a ton of fun on a nice windy road. I autocross it for a few years in Ft. St. John and Dawson Creek, with lots of ftd's against some decently fast cars, including Corvettes, Vipers, Porches, and the odd Lamborghini. It’s currently got a set of 13x7”stock car wheels with Toyo R888 tires for the street, and I’ve got a set of 13x10” wheels with Hoosier slicks for racing. I used slicks for 3 or 4 autocross events, and they’ve been stored in my shop for the last few years. I’ve also got a spare transmission and lots of engine parts that go with the car if desired, as well as a custom built tilt deck trailer specifically for the car. It’s definitely a one of a kind, and a bit of an attention getter. I’d like $16500 for it. Thanks for looking.
