mikeatrpi Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Absolutely! I'd love to own one of these style cars. Better yet, I have dreams of building a modern version with a motorcycle engine and sequential gear box. I'm a long way off from retirement, but that just means I have more time to dream about it!

jerryb Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Retirement......As much I would like to be there Im in no race with age. But when I do get there my plan is to run Vintage/Historical to keep busy. As far as building my own...yup, in the plans for me as well. A Lotus replica. Perhaps use a more modern engine with a Mk9 transaxle but keep it as era like as possible...chassis, wheels...power level..etc I keep searching for a resource for FJ chassis plans. I have the FJ regulations and can base the design off that but knowing me well.....Im sure I would interpret and build something altogther different! LOL I even considered taking the LOCOST design and adjusting it accordingly to make some sort of FJ open wheel weekend lapping car. Anyone know were plans.....any plans....may be available? I REALLY want to do this! Absolutely! I'd love to own one of these style cars. Better yet, I have dreams of building a modern version with a motorcycle engine and sequential gear box.
