Grassroots Motorsports

The Seven vs the Ariel Atom - how does a homebuilt car stack up against one of the hottest cars on the market? I'm very happy with how this one turned out.

Discussion forums
You'll find me in a number of these. Despite the "Locost" name, many of them are good resources for any sort of home-built car.

Locost Builders - a massive forum based in the UK
Locost USA - a US-based forum
Locost North America - a Yahoo discussion group about North American builds. Quite active.
Locost - a Yahoo discussion group. Fairly active.
Locost UK - a Yahoo discussion group for UK builds, not terribly active.
