Well, this is exciting. We're officially going to provide Exocet kits to the aussies. This is big because there are very few lightweight kit cars available due to some legislation introduced a few years back. That legislation defines a fixed minimum torsional stiffness value that is approximately 4-5x that of a Locost chassis. The Atom does not pass, and even the Ultima GTR requires extensive modifications. Caterhams are imported in a creative manner that bypasses this requirement. The company "Exocet Australia" apparently has a lot of faith in our chassis design and its ability to pass the test. I can't wait to see an Exocet Sport on the stiffness rig!

In other news, we're scheduling our move into our new headquarters for next weekend. Can't wait to fulfill the donut-inside-the-warehouse promise we made the landlord.

So long, tiny, poorly-lit old shop. It's not us, it's you:

Waiting on our new shop's certificate of occupancy so we can start working in the new space! Anyone that visits our old Roswell location will be very lonely.

Love that this thread got an update. Now how about that donut video in the new facility?

That video is coming as soon as our building gets its occupancy rating. We're in a temporary space right now chuggin' away at frames. We just submitted out third order of cars from our tube supplier; things are going really well.

If any of you Atlanta GRMers want a ride in XP-3 or just see it in action, we'll be at Atlanta Motorports Park all-day Friday giving rides for the Just Track It event. Email Kevin at Info@Exomotive.com if you feel like RSVP-ing. Otherwise, just show up to the track. Spectating is free.

Also, I'm not going to steal Keith's thunder, but FM's Facebook page has a cool picture.

They look even cooler in person, but I'm biased. My favorite so far is a recently-completed turbo.

He has orange body panels, but he started tracking it before finishing it. Priorities. :)

I am so close to pulling the trigger. Do you know if the kit can be ordered without body panels. Is there any credit for that? I am liking the naked look of the exocet. I can't wait to see what fm thinks of the car without turbo NA style. I plan to turbo but that might be another 6 months out. Keith thank you for all of the updates on the fm Facebook page. It's been fun following along.

stig, Exomotive wisely keeps me far away from the pricing and sales questions, so send an email to Info@Exomotive.com about your nekked-cet.

Is that one with the black frame for one of the guys at Forged Performance? Recognized their trailer in the picture.

Nope. Actually belongs to the guy that runs the 4Sevens flashlight company.

We've got a surprise to announce this week. For now, here's a teaser.

It's really not that surprising that you would develop non-hideous bodywork.

Should've used a blur filter! I was able to "enhance" the image quite a lot...

Yeah, I'm not going to stop you.

It was a battle between showing too much leg and being compatible with everyone's gamma settings (cough, apple 1.8 "standards", cough).
