tfreer85 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Anyone heard of these cars? Opinions? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/08-Lowster-kit-car-hot-rod-roadster-free-freight_W0QQitemZ260208089268QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item260208089268 http://lowster.net/ Looks like it could be a fun quick car to build for like a CA18 or a Hayabusa motor or something. It doesn't SEEM too bad price wise but idk, just figured i'd look for some conversation on them. Tyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.I.jonas Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Cheap yes,but that front suspension is retarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globerunner513 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 is it just me, or do i see a bunch of positive camber on those front wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Umm how do you steer or break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschiltz Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 How much fab. experience/ equipment do you have? If I were you I'd source prices for the materials and see if you could save some by buying the kit. Some re-engineering will probably (definitely) be in order but it might be worth the price for the materials. You could always do what Alf did and start with scratch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.I.jonas Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 is it just me, or do i see a bunch of positive camber on those front wheels? Umm i see it on one of the wheels lol. And why is it pictured on a blue tarp?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunar240z Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Kinda looks like ♥♥♥♥ in my opinion. You could probably build a better looking machine from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Probably for the hot-rod crowd that are used to cars that don't handle. There are many other kit cars that are MUCH better looking for the same or less in price. Lotus seven is one... http://www.bruntonauto.com/kit/Kit.htm They have a lotus inspired roller for around $9,900 Prices: http://www.bruntonauto.com/kit/pricelist.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
