Ok, so I know the difference in the murci 1 from the murci 2 kits do most people only use carkitinc for their kits? Or are there different sites, reasons I ask is because I noticed I youtube alot of replicas I noticed the murci 1 sides don't look the same I noticed the side molding don't have the back vents on it but when I look at my murci1 kit next to what I believe is other murci 1 kits it still don't look the same, but the murci 1 kit on carkit Inc looks like the v kit on my white one. Looking at the two photos notice the white one looks the same but the front end of the orange one seems like the fenders flair more etc.. sorry trying to get a better understanding.

That orange car is an extreme kit from the UK its an exact replica moulded off a real Murcielago I have the similar car but I put Liberty wide arch kit on mine and custom the wide arches.

Peggyontherunireland nice, ok and how do I go about getting that kit?
Hey INSPIRE, i figured I was probably getting annoying, my fault man I'm pretty stupid to all this I'm kind of a question crazy guy, once I start getting things more down I will stop asking so much, the car I bought has more photos on lamborghinireplicaforsell.Com I just don't have any on my phone, I'm trying to figure out how many different kits are out there.
Also peggyontherun how much does the exact replica kit mold run and is it still the same idea, bolts onto a mr2 or ferio doner car?
-
@ William - the kit can only be bought in the UK as far as im aware I had bad experience with extreme but they were bough by new guys and they seem to be delivering on time with there product
http://www.extreme-sportscars.com/murci/index.html (http://www.extreme-sportscars.com/murci/index.html)
yes it will only go on an mr2 chassis extreme move the rear of the car back I cut my mr2 in half and moved it back less work involved. hope that helps
-
Yeah that helps a ton, i just had a mr2 stretched for me from a local body shop, i had them use the same technic as carkitinc does for stretching the mr2, could I still use that frame if I purchased the kit on extreme? You said on extreme they have you cut from the back? I'm assuming it don't matter how it's stretched.
-
Yes extremes kit will still fit you might have to trim a few bits but nothing major see if they will lower the price as you wont need the rear parts to stretch the kit and you would be better off ringing them as they don't answer e-mail much, make sure they include the main frame without this there kit wont sit right.
Here is how they stretch the mr2

I'm in America, i noticed the price tag was 799 euros is that about 8k I'm trying to do this off top of my head, lol that kit is so much more worth it wow.
-
Yip mate work out at £8000 converted with today exchange rate $13,223 ex shipping same kit as the orange one in the picture its in sterling not Euros im in Ireland so we use Euro England have there own currency like America it would be just handy if every country had the same currency

Yip I know the € symbol I converted the sterling £ into Dollars $ for William so the kit will cost him $13k converted over as Extreme is in the United Kingdom there not part of the Euro state they have there own currency ;-)

Lmao, thanks guys I'm at work sneaking around looking at stuff, so it's a glance and type thing lol.
-
I could afford that kit though, but darn, you better be devoted to it if you buy it lol 13k wow. Makes carkitinc look like a ricer kit.
-
As long as the final wheelbase on your stretched MR2 is very close to 105 inches, the Extreme kit can be made to fit. I assume you realize that no "kit" is a simple bolt on experience. Lots of fabrication work is required to get any body package to fit any chassis.
-
Absolutely, i don't know what my wheelbase is I can find out, i noticed on the extreme website that it states that they will build and ship also, let's say I had them do everything except paint and interior, i wonder roughly what it would cost, and what does it cost to have them do the full build? Anyone done this through them before?
-
Your wheelbase is actually critical. That is the first place to start.
I don't know what a complete Extreme build would cost but it sounds expensive...and don't forget shipping. :)
-
Yeah I'm thinking with the kit being 13k alone, having even mostly built without paint and interior it has to be around 25k and I'm going to say complete basic no flashy paint job 35 or 40k I just wanted to toss a number out before someone responds with a answer see if I'm close. I emailed but by what peggyontherunireland said I'm assuming I won't get a answer any time soon lol
-
No kit is simple to build and if somebody tells you it is there telling lies my car you see below took me over 4 years to build to get it to the stage you see it at. Finished Extreme lambo I have seen them sell up to £35,000 - £40,000 depends on the spec as for somebody building it for you depends on what spec you want and what is your budget
-
William
you should figure out what it is you want lol seriously you need to answer the question
"What are you exactly looking for in your build?"
BUDGET - OPTIONS - DRIVE TRAIN - FUNCTIONALITY - INTERIOR - LOOKS - ETC.
Also, why not buy Mitch's build? It's an MR2-G28 he mentioned he will sell it. It's a nice car.
-
William, can you post more pics of your car? Someone here may buy it off you if they know you're interested in selling and the old adage is " a picture is worth 1000 words". But a different pic than the one you keep posting.
-
As for builds no one ever told me it was a simple thing, don't get me wrong I think as for who I am I have read and seen enough photos to know I have already done some bigger things as for car projects, and the more I read and the more I see carkitinc lamborghinis kind of look like garbage, i don't think it's simple at all.
As of pictures I will try and get more, i use my old school smart phone and that's the only one I have, i don't want to sell it just yet, i am just learning things, that extreme kit is awesome, i been looking for weeks and I keep thinking "why do I keep seeing replicas that look really good, than I see the others and I'm thinking wow how horrible" even the one I bought I'm like wow how ugly, that extreme kit is really nice.
here is the rest the pictures I just got of the car I have.
-
Is this the same body style I bought? If so this is exactly what I would want mine to look like when finished, i can't tell but I think it's the same body style?
-
WHAT you have is the first attempt at sculpting a Murcie body over or onto a DIABLO REPLICA BODY that is why the stretch is 10.5" and not the full 11" ,the Orange car was purchased from the same Sculptor ,after going out and purchasing some item like grill and other things they would not fit so JVD began a retro cut up of the body to make it look more realistic ,after doing so ,he made molds of the orange car body ,the molds are in Fl. ,but not in use this body was the first attempt at reproducing the 2002 Murcie ,the orange car has a Diablo replica windshield from AGP ,Sebring side glass ,modified front and rear bumper openings & side skirts.this is why the body is SO cheap through CKI ,it build able but not believable in appearance to a 2002-05 OEM Murcie ,then the Sculptor had a opportunity to repair a real car so they mold all the lower parts and vents ,and the car began its transformation to the G28 then G28lp ,but the wheelbase remained the same to this day 10.5" stretch ,because the OEM windshield was so much wider at the bottom they had to FAKE in the doors to the Nissan Maxima windshield area, the oem was like 61" Maxima is 58" so they had to lean the window frame of both doors in more to compensate for the windshield ,which in turn is called a "FAKE IN" ,THIS ALSO EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE IN DOOR LENGTH and body lines ,also taking into account the fiero dash location compared to OEM ,THAT is why the G28 front fenders are longer ,to lead into a smaller windshield ,i visited the Sculptor several times in LA ,we purchased several G28,s and G28lp bodies.

Daaammnn, great information, so if I'm getting b this straight though mine looks really close to the orange one its not the same? Wow man that's some serious information, i noticed when bi seen mine in person it was still really nice but I noticed the couple pictures I have found b of the body style I have they are really ugly lol like this one in the picture. In person it's still pretty exotic but wow every picture is horrible lol
-
Look how the front is pointing to the sky. It's amazing how the stance can dramatically change the appeal of any car. This one and yours is no exception.

why does this red car look long like a camaro in the front? it doesnt look like it's rear-mounted engine! I mean looks-wise.
My car (pics from last year, the first one before I lowered the coil overs a bit more). Still, for some reason the West-Coast originated bodies (TG-IE-Robs) seem to have shorter front ends... or maybe just an illusion ::scratch

In this pic it's just lowered another inch and I cut a mid section to minimize the side sagging lip but still looks shorter than Mitch's car from CKI or the red one shown below for some reason.
I really dunno but it seems that way
