Interesting Turbocharged 917 Laser well sorted
 

Here I am again.
Latest member to my zoo.917 Laser powered by 2L turbo charged vw engine,still fresh with no miles on it.
Garrett turbo,2 dual barrel webers,heavy duty trans,kyb shocks,special subframe really ties the car up ,new brakes,new axles.wiring,fuel cell,new seats,5 point harness,Mickey Thompson tires 0 miles on them,black powdercoated turbine 5 lug wheels.Body is perfect with great paint.
Loud ,fast,splits flames,aircooled and is street legal ;-)
Car is ready to go as is however the gauges still need to be hooked up.
Heres a picture,more to follow.

I know is nothing close to the real deal,but a fun and scary machine.At 200+ hp and a superlight body guaranteed recipe for massive amounts of fun.

Needs more metallic in that paint.....

ehhhhhhh....

You won't find many (if any) here that like a Lazer.
I thought it was a cool idea, but I always hated the ass end.

"Car is ready to go as is however the gauges still need to be hooked up."
...so that is well sorted?

It's no 917 but I bet it's bags of fun...

It's not all that bad really. There have been FAR worse cars posted here and elsewhere.

and much bigger headlights.

You know, there IS a diference between "well sorted" and WELL SET UP":D

Lets say than its well set up

And it looks JUST like a real 917....

Did you buy that or assemble that yourself ?-No matter-I think it's great. To see something drive by inwhich you most likely never will again and remember is fantastic.

More pics. please.

I'd love to assemble a kit-car with my Son. That is a dream.

I had a girlfriend that had a Sterling-fun as heck.

You would do better to sell it turn key vs selling as a project. The Ad would come off better without the comment I responded to.

It's a kit and pretty cool as it draws from the 917. Add more pics too.

Its built on vw pan with custom subframe,its reg as a 65 so super cheap insurance.

Ps:its a kit car so try not to compare it to a real 917,and off topic thread so dont be a d@%k :D

I bet it's a hoot to drive.

URY, I can't see what you did but I know you did something with that pic. ;) :D

Youre absolutly right.I just got the car today and I will finish it up,either wire the existing gauges or make a custom dash with procomp gauges like I did on one of my other cars.I buy them as a project but only sell them as turn key.
