Since I posted a picture in another thread I decided not to hijack his build thread and start my own.

The way I am getting the car and certain companies holding exclusive manufacturing and sales contracts for north america I am not allowed to call it the car that quite a few people know it as.

It is being delivered as a rolling chassis and all the work was done by Palatov Motorsports. And is sold by their associated company altraimports.com. The cars come in what ever color they do, there is no choice. I know its going to be yellow to match my S2000 I am just not sure if I am going to do the fenders in yellow or black right now.

This is it as it shipped on 5/15/13







I was planning on building a kit car 2 years from now but when I saw this opportunity I had to jump on it.

My motor (K20a) was delivered today 5/17/31



Also on 5/15/13 I received my painless wiring harness. I felt this would make wiring the car easier as the entire car needs to be wired.

Looks sweet! What does it weigh?

As it sits right now I'm not sure but the bare fame is about 450 lbs and the kit including the shipping crate is only about 900.



But it should be in the neighborhood of 1400 lbs when finished.

What kind of deal did you get and how do I get one too?

altraimports.com

The price listed is just the car body. There is a limited number available. I was told that mine is #2 and is the first to be delivered as a rolling chassis.

Any plans for the engine? Or just stock? When I had the JRSC on my RSX the car moved. Can't imagine if it makes sense to mod the K20 for this project though.

Sweet, an Ariel Atom would be a fun toy to have! BTW, unless you signed a contract stating you wouldn't refer to it as an atom, I'm pretty sure you can call it whatever you want as long as you don't try to market/sell it as one.

Yes the purchase agreement that I had to sign and initial 2 times. I agreed not to call it the name that it has been called a few times so far on this thread alone. And if you look at my thread in car talk I link all the treads on that specific cars forums that talk about how this car came into my possession.

But having the car on the road for 1/3 the price. I will just call it the car that i am not suppose to say its name. And do the Clarkson face flapping all the down 635 to work.

Keeping it stock for now. Half the weight with almost the same power as the S2000.
