Factory Built Ultima

[craig7l]

Hi, interested in a factory built Ultima. Do you know if a car coming out the factory complete is then subject to me getting it SVAd.

I have the SVA manual and it must be home built by the individual to comply. Or does it fall into the realms of enhanced SVA (ESVA) and "Legally" classed as a factory supplied car.
cheers

So Craig, seems like you're interested in a RCR Superlite as well. Are you buying both or just being a spectator?

[craig7l]

it may be one or the other... definately not both...if you know me you will know i aint no spectator...radicals, ExigeS, 240cup...and thats just in the last 3 years.

Getting my head around what i want as unfortunatley my cars of choice aint as easy as a show room 911.

actually i will be a "spectator" where i am taking the expense and time to fly to detroit on the 1st August from UK to "view" the car in person.... cheeky C@nt

Hi Craig, I've chat with Fran in regards to the SLC for few weeks. Hoping to visit the factory as well around October/November, if Fran's available around that date/time. Hopefully by then, the testing data of this vehicle will be out by then. Can you take as much pictures as possible? Would be even better if you're able to capture it on video.

I do like the front, and side of the car but the rear does not look finish to me. Especially with the center portion of the diffuser missing exposing the transmission. Another thing that really also gets to me is the steel tubing that supports the rear wing. It looks like tree branches. Talk to Fran about it but he mentioned that it's much more durable with steel tubing rather than aluminum plate wing stands. It could be steel, but my thought is a flat, wider plate to support the wing. It'll look aesthetically better than a thin tube.

[craig7l]

picture wise - will do with his permission.

Not sure if that exposed rear would pass SVA in uk anyhow? and will need an area to mount a number plate.
The wing definately wouldnt pass SVA in that config.

If a car is new and factory built then the factory would SVA it before they sold it wouldn't they ?

one nice thing about this genre of car, or any kit/replica for that matter, is that you can make it what you want it to be...

Looking very hot:

^ Looks nice, have you a rear shot?

That big-ass trans does look a bit funny being exposed like that but those massive diffusers next to it look the part.

Excellent Fran. Glad to see you have an aussie site as well, looking to place an order if the new job works out .

That is a beautiful (Aspira) car Fran! How complete is the build manual? I would love it if there was a Wikipedia-like build manual online to allow the builders to own the build manuals. You could actually have it categorized as to the specific components that are being used and it would completely customize the build manual for your exact version of the car. It seems so simple, but I haven't seen it done yet. Nice looking Aspira.
