What!?

The only thing i got out of this was.
1. You stayed at a local store.
2. Read import tuner about accord.
3. Has almost 50/50 weight dis.
4. Fancy car on top.
5. For 16k you can have kit.

I'm sorry but i don't understand what you are saying.

I've been a closet kit car fan now for about 7 years (I've got a thing for the Z-car rebodies). I haven't read the magazine this guy is rambling about but the I think I know which kit car he's talking about.

The car is the Attack by a eastern european company known as K1-Styling they do have a distributor in the US though. K1 also have a really nice 3rd gen camaro/ferrari rebody called the evo I & evo II.

yea, i like kit cars too, they are a pretty cool concept. I've seen a fiero at this place i used to work at. It looked exactly like a Diablo(on the outside), i was amazed, but once you get up close you can tell its not, by the interior.

It was kinda funny his liscense plate was idlook2.

i'm sorry

S but i told you i wasn't sure. atleast radhaz knew what i was talking about.

yA they have it in the new sport compact car and the new import tuner also. Looks badass

K-1 was pimping that kit about 3 years ago telling folks it was "just about done" I think they released it about a year ago. They seem to have a good rep as far as kit car manafactuar's go but that's a large chunk of change to convert a FWD to MWD and spruce up the exterior.

As far as donor's are concerned in the 70's the popular chassis to use was the VW beetle, in the 80's a lot of fiero rebodies (with some frame lengthening) popped up. In the 90's the majority of the kit cars seemed to be on fieros with beetle's in a close second. The donor's of yesterday are fading away in rusty heaps in junkyards.

Kit car companies are having their hands forced to find new donors like SUV's and Cop cars just to name a few.

I personally would love to see a nice 240sx rebody done but that's just me. In ten years there's no telling which donor car (if any) will be the hot ticket item.
