Replica Cars

[qman]

Just thinking.. Car replica specially AC Cobra is quite known as a fad in Europe and USA. Medyo mahal nga lang.

Here in pinas Ive seen quite a few replica...

So here is my question
Have you built one?
What is your Donor Engine/tranny and Chassis?
Whats your up and down on your project?
How much it cost you?
How long it took you to have it running and road worthy?

Sa mga Guru if you are building one what would you recommend (Donors and body replica)
What will be your budget?

[ghosthunter]

Just to clarify, You are referring to replica KIT cars? It is because you referred to the AC Cobra.

If I were to make one...

Donor car ko would be a 2.0L toyota Corona. Kasi mura resale value niyan so cheaper to acquire.

2.0L engine on a small project car would be good

Toyota parts is easier to find. Siguro I'll allocate anywhere between P200k to 500k for such kit car project.

Kung budget constraint kit car naman, I'll use a chop-up wagon-R wide... 1.0L engine and would cost less than P100k to acquire. So ang total project cost is probably mahal na sa P300k

If I was to make one... I'll take the Nissan SR20DET with 4WD system.

1.0L engine on an AC Cobra replica? Or were you talking about other replicas. A 1.0L engine is more suitable for a smaller car like an Austin-Healey "Frogeye" Sprite replica.

Im referring to replica kit cars, na example ko lang ang AC cobra pero ive seen 911 kit car for sale din dito sa tsikot few years back ata.

I i were to build a 911 or a cobra what donor cars would i use ba?

Chassis, engine tranny etc.

hahaha... pangit nga yung 1L kung AC Cobra body... actually I would rather design my own kit car body

mini AC cobra kaya?!?

[JJCarEnthusiast]

maybe a bit OT but i would rather design my own and make it to something like this



custom chassis (reinforced) ford V8 engine with landcruiser 80 axles :grin2:

[Burai]

Me would go for a custom designed sportscar na sobrang gaan then powered by an FX's 1.8 engine and chassis or powered by my GrandPa's engine inside his son's owner then baklas lahat to make it lightweight

pinagaaralan ko na dahan dahan 3d modelling para maipakita custom designs ko sa grandpa ko.. damn it hirap

budget of 300k? i think sobrang bitin or bitin lang pa yan

and yeah, yung concept car ko (aside sa h2) na sportscar would be made through my design kaso parts na naka kabit e pang mga existing/old cars like sa corolla/lancer para naman madali rin maghanap incase of unwanted ek-eks , ibabawi na lang talaga sana sa diskarte para magmukang exotic..

OT na kayo! This thread is about replicas. Doon kayo mag-post sa Tsikot Sport Vehicle or OJT thread.

Pero I like your attitude. I believe that there is a niche market in the Philippines for a cheap locally made small sports car that has a surplus engine and lightweight fiberglass body and original stand out from the crowd styling.

*wildthing, JJCarEnthusiast, Burai,
Why don't you and the Tsikot design team get together and come up with a common space frame chassis that can fit your different designs. Calling Ehnriko.

OT na rin ako.

[JJCarEnthusiast]

wahehehe

kung ako lang talaga, mas gusto ko own design, para di na masyado ma brand ang philippines na magaling mag replicate. i mean, maganda din naman yun pero mas maganda if we start our own. maganda ding pakinggan na galing sa pilipinas ang isa sa magaling na replica ng hummer H1, pero, medyo di din maganda e

*burai, ako rin im learning 3d din! PM nalang kita, OT na :D

[zildjian007]

mas ok kung sarili mong design at least unique diba.. :D

[JJCarEnthusiast]

oo para di lang "magaling mangopya" (sorry for the term) ang image ng pilipinas.

[wildthing]

sir donbuggy,

merun naman in process na "own design" na "kit car" ang tsikot... pero pang masa eto and not pang "special" market.

[Burai]

eto para di naman po OT hehe yung alangan na yan nag email ako para mag inquire magkano pricing nila since the day na 1st post ko dito kaso hanggang ngayon wala pa rin sila reply sakin.

BTW, pinoy isa sa mga/mismong head designer ng isang land rover na unit. pati narin yata isang specific na jaguar. di ko sure sa jag pero land rover alam ko oo pinoy. nabalita siya sa tv dati

pag merong nataguyod na ganito na succesful, kaya na nating mga pinoy makipag competition sa mga exotic nilang car designs overseas may it be mga super luxury na brands like ferrari or mala pang masa na brands like toyota at yung pwede nating ipang laban sa kinetic designs ng ford (at mazda kahit di sila kinetic) at ng new lineups ng hyundai (like yung ixonic)
pinoy styling hehehe!

*JJ
sir thanks po sa pm. btw, naguluhan ako sa post mo sir, maganda pero di rin maganda?

*donbuggy
nako yun din sir problema ko, kung sumali man ako eh hindi ako makakapag contribute/dedicate ng time ko masyado kasi meron din akong iba pang mga pinag gagagawa at home at in school (uli pag napasok haha) pero salamat pa rin sa suggestion

[JJCarEnthusiast]

nyahahaha

maganda sya kung titignan natin ang skill o ingenuity ng pinoy. pero kung sa uniqueness medyo dehado

hope i made things clear

hmmm pinoy style ba? mukhang spaghetti pala yan.. hindi lang sweet ha, with cheeeese (can't help it naalala ko ung comercial )

[Negus]

I prefer classic 550 porsche replicas over cobras. :drool:

Le Mans 550 coupe
James Deane 550 spyder
356 speedster


I'd pay good money if offered a good specimen.

As for the money, that's another problem.

[JJCarEnthusiast]

nakita ko sa philippine jeepney thread: (last page)

Made to order show type VW buggy from Ilo-ilo

[Burai]

nice find sir _JJ_ :bwahaha:
*drools*

pwede ba kaha na lang kunin dyan baka sakaling makamura ng malaki
300k is also a price na rin kasi for a 2nd hand car (or donor car :bwahaha with a window at doors narin. di naman sa nagrereklamo ako sa price, it's just that pwede ba kaha lang? haha!

wala pa kong progress sa 3d grr.. wala pa future, family probs inside

[JJCarEnthusiast]

nice find sir _JJ_ :bwahaha:
*drools*

nyak!! :hysterical:

hehe

di ko lam e kung pwede ba kaha lang. IMO yung price nya nanggaling lang sa mga mods. baka pwede di na isali yung mga headers, concept one seats, chrome engine cover, at yung iba pa.. dba donor vehicle nila e VW classic beetle? ganda nga kung kaha lang, tas lagyan natin ng honda b16 :hysterical: btw, wala daw talagang door ang buggy

btw, ako may nagawa na daw akong matino, sabi ni safeorigin
