On another note, anyone wonder like I do who's kit this car started life as?

That's certainly different. I'd like to take a closer look at the car. In one of the photos, the upper A-arm looks to be bent rearward.

A search of the internet turns up the following verbiage when it was for sale in Moorpark, California, last year (off a .FR based classified site no less):

This is not a car for every one. This is a very stiff drivers car. Its pretty much like driving a motorcycle, you need to be aware of your surroundings kind of thing.

That has been on CL in Los Angeles for a while now. I'm looking for a SB100 car to stay under the CARB radar, but that is a little too radical for me. I think I would enjoy a 7, but in truth I think I'm looking for a SB100 Atom.

I don't know how everyone else feels, but I really like the look with the extra body panels in the car posted above. I know, I know it's extra weight and not needed, but there must be some benefit to the bodywork as far as aerodynamics besides the interestingly good looks.

I agree with Jackal…looks cool.

I'll throw an in there for 'cool' factor.

Is it just me, or does that engine just not sound quite right? Wonder why it has so few miles on it after 11 years. The CA SB100 registration is definitely a plus for anyone in CA.
