just buy a pos c4 from mexico or canada and import it

What if I replaced the structural steel panes with a rollcage?

>just by a shitty car, ship it halfway across the world, and expect it to be cheaper after import taxes
no.

Doing that, you'll add more weight than the body panels did.
Again, a steel space frame is what you want.

IIRC, The Lotus Elise also uses a steel space frame.

Pontiac Fieros and Saturn's (pic is an early FWD S-series sedan) are still going to be the cheapest space frame cars you can get. You can pick them up for under a grand stateside, then import them to your country.

and what that Saturn looks like with everything attached

Stop lying, a runnin C4 with 100k km is like 6-7k€. If you think that's expensive you don't have the money to transform it into the vette cart anyway.

>money to transform it into the vette cart anyway.
Like what? Sawzall blades? A dumpster? Looks pretty budget friendly to me.

Miata you uncultured swine
>Exocet

That'd be underpowered as fuck.

What about the Solstice and Sky? Those are spaceframe, right.

nope. Those are unibody. Body panels are structural.

Are you trying to ruse me Stolen Recaros

Some TVR's and Lotus's would do it

Ariel Atom obviously - just buy somebody's half finished project and wrap it up.

No ruse. The body panels on the Kappa cars are actually structural. Those pics were only made to show the mechanicals of the chassis with a lot of the structure cut out to make it easier to see.
The body panels were required in order to pass a crash test.
On a true space frame car, a proper crash test could be conducted without the body panels on.

looks alot like the vette to me

If you say so

The easiest way to tell a unibody from a steel space frame is the material the body panels are made from.
On a unibody car, the strength is needed, so the panels are aluminum or steel, like on the Kappa cars.
On a steel spaceframe, since the body panels aren't structural, why make them weigh more than they have to? Plastic and fiberglass is cheaper than steel. Saturns (S-series and Ions) and Fieros all had plastic body panels and Corvettes had'have fiberglass body panels.

The Solstice was actually advertised heavily because a lot of the body panels unique to the Solstice had to be made through hydroforming (blasting the metal with water to attain the desired shape and structural strength) which was a very expensive process. Why go through such lengths if you're going to use a space frame?

What body panel is structural?
>doors
no
>front fenders
no
>hood
no
>trunklid
no

So you are saying the rear quarters are structural. Looking at it's pretty clear they aren't. You are pulling random stuff out of your ass.

>say something stupid anonymously on the internet
>someone points out you are wrong
>uh oh better start making up stuff to save face

>hurr durr it opens so it isn't structural
side impact crash test regulations would like a word with you.

What are you even talking about? What do crash tests have to do with whether a car is unibody or not? Crash bars in doors have nothing to do with the structural rigidity of the chassis. You have no idea what you are talking about.

>mfw europoors shitpost about GTR superiority day in and day out but can't afford a wrecked thirty year old Corvette

>an engine swap in what is basically a frame is hard
>150hp in a car that weighs 1k pounds is slow

>Implying it's not some weaboo Murilards shitposting about the GTR
European people generally like Corvettes. They're just hideously expensive here due to taxes.

>Tfw amerifat driving c5

>unironically spending money on a corvette

Done it with a compact, looks a bit shitty desu, awful proportions for a buggy

>buying a complete piece of shit
>justifying it because you can dump money into to make it drivable
No one cares Volvo fanboi

Get a diesel hatchback, you're in fucking Europe, god damn.

>live in yu kay
>rich
>this shit there and anything else you can do with a car is completely legal

feels gud mayne

>a car where the body panels aren't structural

So like every car?

>Europe
You don't get Pontiac or Saturn over here, and I doubt that many were imported

>body panels aren't structural
>like every car

...

We do get the Opel/Vauxhall versions of those cars though.

Name one
