    We all know sports car is too expensive to own and too expensive to maintain.. Most filipino cant afford it.

    I have vision of good market on creating a sports car type of car like ferrari, lambo, but on small engine.. Yes, its not too fast as original but you will get the looks, comfort of sports car owner with less cost on maintenance and gas..

    Do you want to own a wide sports car on minimal cost on the unit and maintenance..

    Sino kaya ang kasa or nag aasemble ng car ang may same vision sa akin. who know pumatok ito at makita mo sa philippines ang mga sports car.

    Not my cup of tea.

    I don't like the idea of owning a car that looks fast but doesn't run fast. It's all fluff. Kumbaga hanggang porma lang. I would rather have a car that looks slow but runs fast.

    Di ba parang ganun na din yung mga kotse dyan na puro bodykit? yung mga parang lilipad na

    Or are you thinking of a custom "ferrari/lambo/mclaren/etc..." body? In which case you have to make sure it passes all safety regulations, then fit the internals etc.. And since your trying to minimize cost, the materials you use wont be on par, which often means they weight more for what they do.
    So in the end you'll probably end up with a wide heavy car that probably couldn't outrun a Wigo.

    Siguro may market naman, dami daming siento-bente dyan e.


    or you could just get a 86/Brz/Miata

    Good point sir. mabigat nga ang posible na magagawang body if gagayahin ang body ng sports car using metal. Pero kung sa fiber glass or aluminum e siguro hindi naman ganun kalayo... Pero siguro everyone naman e gusto ng ma porma na car or bagay sa personality natin.

    Same here. I'd rather have a sleeper that smokes those siento-bente types.

    Mas gusto ko Vios turbo na lang. Masyadong pilit kung gagaya ka ng sportscar tapos s*pot yung makina para sa kaha.

    years ago, someone did try to make pseudo-lambos and pseudo-ferraris out of old car bodies, using lots of latero and masilya.. sarao-inspired yata..
    'twas good while it lasted.. which wasn't long.

    May napanood na ako na ganyan.. Lambo ata ang ginaya niya sa old van engine niya ..
    tingin ko nga nice yung idea. Gusto niya ma enjoy ang sports car look, gamit ang old engine ng car niya..

    Lots of work to get something like that right. To ensure the front overhang doesn't ruin the look of the body.

    -

    Doing a full custom job makes it easier to get the look right, since you don't have to squeeze the mechanicals to get it to fit.

    -

    What you're looking for is something like the Aurelio. That's a tube-frame fiberglass car with the engine and front axles of a Civic sitting out back, and the front end of another Civic sitting up front.

    Way back in the day, they were asking 700k or so for it.

    But now that they're building customer cars, 2m ang asking. Bit pricey. Guess it could be lower if you go for a lower class of engine and parts... but don't expect to do something like that for less than 500k - 1m.

    My idea is like a production car that can category to sports car body, wide, sporty and will stand out like ferrari, lambu, bugatti.. The engine is small to gain fuel efficient and less the maintenance cost.. Its like ma porma pero tama lang bilis.

    negative ito sir,

    pagtatawanan lang ng lahat yun ganyang sasakyan or worst haharorootan ka lang ng mga naka SiR sa daan.

    much better pa po bili ka nalang secondhand na sports car kung short na short talaga sa budget eh magipon nalang po muna.

    I think your vision is like the Honda CRZ. Looks really sporty but falls short on the grunt.

    i prefer sleepers. i can still remember years ago in libis where a few honda sir were eating dust against a kia cd5, powered with mazda Z5 engine. parang nakakahiya yata yong mabilis ang porma pero mabagal ang takbo. just my thoughts.
