Thanks, it's a 2002. Since it's a daily driver, just the tiniest bit of engine and suspension mods have been done. Installed a hardtop I had imported from Toyota of Japan to upgrade the long distance drive characteristics. Still a long, long way from SVX type GT driving, but since drives to Cape Canaveral & back mean ~75 miles a day to/from work, 32mpg on regular was most welcome when gas hit $4/gal.

I've been lately looking into the locost web forum, considering a rear engined open-wheeled unit. Have some frame plans in hand - need to take the local Comm College welding classes...The EG33 with a FWD transaxle, located in the rear as you suggest would be a VERY interesting ride.

daluvabul (sp?), flew in from Texas with cash and drove it back. Heard from him a few weeks ago, he asked which axle ratio it had (I swapped to the 4.10 after my second tranny failure)
While I'm back might as well give a shout out to oab_au - Gid'ay Harvey my friend, hope all is well. My wife won't "let" me ride my Norton anymore. I'm not sure if she is worried about me falling off in a senior moment, or all the other old & blind codgers out there running me over in their great road demons (also locally known as Mercury Gran Marquis).
