BLAST -mid-engine subaru kit

[fuoriserie]

Was looking for a mid-engine chassis that would take the Subara flat flour engine, and found this :

What do you think.....I like the chassis design, but the styling is said to be "Sporty euro-styling".........

Uhm, looks different
You could try Saker in the Netherlands, www.sakermotorsport.nl. Gt-style car with a mid-mounted Subaru Impreza engine.

The BLAST is a good example of 'eight by four' styling.

Not Striker surely!
I'd say that front, and to a lesser extent back, are pure Sylva Star/Leader....

And for what it's worth, apart from the 'screen, I like it!!

[smash]

Sorry Ferg - that's what I meant - for some reason I couldn't remember the leader's name - doh!!! Less Smirnoff more work.......

Sakers are actually from New Zealand but I believe they are used in a race series over there as well.

Errrm, does that thing have front suspension? The wheels certainly don't have any wheelarches to move into!

Ugly design, like a toy for child.:{

[Witchfinder]

Nice idea, but utterly hideous.

I love Kit-cars and Subaru turbos but that . . .


If you want a mid-engine Subaru kit the Saker is definitely the way to go. One of our Kiwi PHers is building one at the moment.
