SOLD.... Boom

A few more pictures...

I am putting my car up again,going to go to something with windows and A/C!! I had a mishap a couple weeks ago and the drivers top front shock mount broke-thank you Michigan roads. I have since had the mounts welded AND reinforced on BOTH sides and feel it should not be an issue again. Unfortunately when this happened it caused some damage to the nose,I have decided to put TWO prices on the car-one if it goes as-is and one if I have the nose fixed (BTW,a new nose from Kinetic is 200 bucks) The car has been completely completely dialed in and is located in Michigan. Turbo Miata power with 286 crank horsepower and the car weighs 1300 lb - definitely very fun to drive. This is my third Locost and definitely the best of the three. There is a couple of stress cracks in rear fenders-the previous owner had the car too low in rear and the tires were hitting the inside of the fenders-the car has since been raised and the cracks have not progressed in almost two years of ownership. Car handles beautifully on Bridgestone RE71 tires and is as fast as most other cars in a straight line. I have installed full carbon fiber front fenders and I also have the original fiberglass fenders that will go with the car. Miata rear suspension along with Miata brakes, the car stops and goes very well. The drivers seat is adjustable and the car will fit a taller driver without a problem.

Sorry for the late response. The holes on the sides of the scuttle are not for a cage,there was a switch mounted to one that I no longer use and the other at this point has no use. Here is a couple of videos of the car running. The engine compartment looks the same now as it did when I bought it-no changes from the posted picture. Thanks Rich

I am on my 2nd bike powered car-here is my first one at an autocross (my daughters 1st time in the car) powered by a Honda CBR1000 engine,as you can see it moves pretty well! It's not a torque monster,but these cars don't weigh much. Rich

Ebay,they were found under a "dominator" headlight search... Rich

There are 2 chains,with 2 sprockets next to each other to connect them-from diff to 1st sprocket,then from 2nd sprocket to trans. Rich

I sold my autocross Locost a little while back and missed it so I picked this up to fill the void! The picture with the clamshell fenders is what it looked like when I first got it (I think it is a nice transformation). It is R1 powered and has chain drive,quite a blast to drive. I picked up a little trailer and next year I will bring my slicks to the autocrosses and have some fun... Rich

I need a set of autocross wheels for my Locost. They need to have a zero to -13mm offset. Thanks Rich 313-377-9542

Is that your Cobra as well? Did you buy it over the last couple of years and is it an FFR with a Mach 1 supercharged motor in it? Sure does look like the one I owned a couple years back... Rich

OK guys,I know I'm all over the map with my request,but I had a BEC autocross car that I sold and want to replace it with a street car- bike or car engined,20k or less.. Call Rich at 313-377-9542
