Looking for an Ultralite


ukrbmw

Recommended Posts

Hello everybody,

 

Been reading the board for sometime and decided to join and maybe become a 7 owner. Finally at a point when I can buy the car. Of course when you're not ready there seem to be cars for sale everywhere and now I can't find any.

 

I am really looking for an WCM Ultralite car. I track quite a bit and it seems to be a very well track prepared car that would be very reliable given the Honda powertrain. I'm sure this is a very tight community so if you know of somebody that is considering selling please let me know. I check this board quite often.

 

Thanks,

Alex.

Welcome, ukrbmw, you are at the right spot to look for an Ultralite, as they pop up occasionally.

 

You are correct , it is a great track day car, and the Honda engine and transmission are super reliable. I love mine, and all I ever do is change the oil and put on new tires.

 

 

You can get a new one from Brian Anderson at

I suggest you also join and post on the Yahoo groups Ultralite spot

Thanks Jerry! I'm sure you do love yours.

 

I have thought about a new one, but have seen several cars sell in the 20s and the idea of saving 10K or so is certainly appealing. I guess if all else fails that'll be my last resort. I will certainly join the group!

Yeah,

You've missed the chance on a couple excellent examples over the last year.

I think it's a good move to look at used ones for another reason as well... they have the bugs worked out. If you read this site a lot, it seems all types of 7s need a little shakedown/fine tuning when first put on the road/track. Once done though, it's tough to beat the reliablility/dollar benefits of a S2K... especially a used one.

Your best bet might be to wait and see if anyone wants to get rid of a recent acquisition because it may not be what they expected. The last 3 that I remember (including mine) be resold in a few months of ownership because they were "too fast" and/or trouble with registration.

 

Unfortunately with only about a 100 cars out there you may have to wait a while for the next one to come along. I was following this board and California Caterham Club for 6 months before a friend told me about the one I ended up buying
