Buying a Kit Car EP.05

- Back in February, I placed an order on a Grullon DDR GT8. The kit car has finally arrived. This is a Mclaren F1 inspired kit car that is absolutely stunning and affordable. From the time I placed the order it with the current backlog, the kit took six months to complete. I am excited to finally take possession of the kit car and to start building her up. With the Grullon GT there are several chassis options to chose from. The GT4 is based on the Toyota MR2 drivetrain and suspension. The GT8 is based on the C5 / C6 corvette, and the GT8SS is based on the Impala SS. The kits come with surprisingly a lot of components for the body, to include hinges, fuel cell, glass, lights, etc. Through this video I talk about the kit car and then break down what my plan for the kit car is.

Banger I’m gonna follow in your footstep
I’m excited for this build. Can’t wait to see it to the end
Thanks!
i am use an extremely high pressure mechanical leveraging system with dual master cylinders large bore to boot. Higher volume, higher pressure with high leverage. The brakes are pumped, however it is effortless. Custom build to custom foot box. As for the door to door sealing areas, i am use aluminum to reinforce and basically build the edges or mating surfaces of the door with it, as well as the area the door seals to. A good width of area is good for a lot of seal. Also ridges built into this setup creates a strong even seal surface between both. My car closes like a hatch on a submarine and no water can get into the driver's area without permission. In event it is flooded or submerged there are cranks to force the doors open! Just as there are cranks to raise the car off the ground to change tires quickly. All custom fabricated. i am shall build anyone a car that lambo or ferrar would be envious of. All redundancy in event of electromagnetic pulse. This car shall still operate even if lightening struck it repeatedly. Impenetrable driver occupant station with crush and impact zone surrounds along with energy repelling shear away front and rear sections of car in event of severe accident or crash by other vehicles or semis. Bullet resistant. The vehicle shall be bullet resistant and withstand many impacts of small arms fire to an extent or degree. Explosive resistance. The vehicle is low on explosive resistance, however much higher than any other normal vehicle that is driven daily for the purpose of travel. The vehicle is a low maintenance grand tourer, and problems are significantly reduced compared to any modern normal vehicle due to engineering and selection of components. There is performance, power, and fuel economy. The vehicle can take extended trips and not stop for gasoline for a long distance, further than that of much greater expense vehicles. Now, note this vehicle would be custom tailored to the individual, there are no assembly lines. However the tuning and performance are universally adaptable.
OMG SO EXCITING
Sweet music too!! Sucks about the damage.. but holy crap what a cool looking kit car. I can't wait to follow this project!
I can't believe that it's finally here and I get to build it!!
I want to see this build 🔥
I wonder if DDR has improved there fiberglass/gel coat, I purchased one a few years ago and it was FAR from paint ready.
I hope your build goes well.
I’ve been interested in getting this car for a few years. I would be interested in finding out about your build.
👍👍👍
Great video. How are you planning to handle the traction control and brake regen blending?
I don't plan to address either electronically. The model 3 drivetrain will get me near stop on single pedal and only need to apply the brakes below that or in harsh braking conditions. The drivetrain controller has limited trc detecting drivetrain slip in regard to motor speed differences between the front and rear motor and power limits in those conditions. Beyond that, I don't think I am going to roll in abs and wheel speed sensors. It is still early and I may change some things around, but right now I am not planning for it.
Any updates
Can you change those headlights and taillights?
You can, I plan on doing something custom down the road.
Does it come with a build manual ?
Negative on the build manual for the DDR.
I've decided to buy a turn-key gt8ss from DDR instead of the kit
Any updates? What specs and final cost?
For future reference please turn down the background music. It’s difficult to hear what you’re saying
Honestly I can hear him fine, but I understand what you mean.
The music can be distracting for some people.
How much would it cost for a turn key car?
I never asked Diego what the cost of a fully built one would be. I vaguely remember $65-80k depending on what you want in the build but that was from someone else. There is a lot of details in terms of suspension, engine, transmission, interior, etc that can all be customized and you would have to discuss that with Diego for a quote.
Thanks I can’t wait to see your videos on your build . Good luck🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I paid 68 for a gt8 with no interior.
How much does it cost as a shell only
Nice vid, but don't put electronics in rice to "dry them out" 5:56 !!!
I passed it up because of the fixed windows.
