Ken's Stalker V6

[lowflyer]

Being lurking and Stalking for long enough, so here goes.

 

The car is a Stalker V6 which I built over 2005. The car now has about 3000 miles on it and both I and my wife really enjoy taking it out for runs.

 

The engine is a Chevy V6 with about 180/190 hp, backed up by a 5 speed and a 3.73 rear end with a Torson limited slip.

 

As they say in the Blue Angels meetings, "Glad to be here, boss".http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/597613119_stalker212.jpg

I like the grill Badge and I think it is the first one that I have seen used that way. Very nice.

re: the grille badge.

 

It's actually not a UK grille badge, as it first seems in the photo.

 

It's an after-market piece for Brit cars. They come in pairs and were normally affixed to either side of a car just in front of the doors.

 

It's a Union Jack with the word "Lotus" below it. I picked it up on the UK Ebay site. They had them for most of the British cars.

 

It's my "homage" to the original.

Sweet ride. I like the look of the minilites too.

[lowflyer]

Thanks for the kind words.

 

I had different wheels on the car for the first year or so, but felt they were "out of character" for such a car. I also designed my own seats for the same reason.

 

The wheels are Superlites, which are an Australian version of the Minilites. Thankfully, the importer is about 100 miles from me.

Lowflyer,

 

Those Superlights look great. What size are the wheels and tires?

The wheels are 7" x 15", listed for a Chevy Camaro, the tires are Falken 205/50-15's.

Those Superlights look great.

 

I have Konig Rewinds which is a japanese version of classic Panasports ..

 

Nice car! Do you want to sell the other spare badge?

No real desire to sell the other badge, but you can probably pick one up on Ebay.uk.

 

I will take a look and see if I can find one or a pair for you.
