Greetings Kit Car collective,

I recently purchased a STM Phoenix, circa 2006 with a tubular chassis - Roll bar no full roll cage. Started as a project but never completed, it's running a ZX10r engine which is installed but not run up. Most of the bits are there of finish but my god there's a LONG way to go !

Having assessed ground clearance i've abandoned the thought of it being a road car (not to mention the hassle of an IVA) so here I am, no build manual, no photos of one in build that I can find on the net and the kit has changed hands and been re engineered more times than Del Trotters market stall !

Does anyone on here have any photos or better still own one of these? I'd really appreciate some pic's and also a good poke around your car :-)

Video of the *cough project is here: http://youtu.be/CtjgRIWQkxI

Thanks in advance .... Tom.

Congrats. Lovely cars.

Many are road registered and run between 100/150mm ride height.

If you haven't already join locostbuilders and JPSCC forums. Both will be invaluable and there are bound to be members near you who have complete cars you can look at.

Hi Tom. I've posted a reply on your LOCOSTBUILDERS thread, but here is my build thread on PH. Some of the early pics don't work but you'll get the general flavour of our build.

I actually find the stylus forum the most helpful of the inter net sites, so don't miss out on that,

Also look up Fisher Fury & RAW Striker build diaries (they were all designed by the sainted Jeremy Phillips), the chassis & running gear are close enough to be useful & in the case of the Fury, the bodywork too.

There is a Fury Build manual available for download on the Fury Sports cars site.
