The Duratec is such a cheap form of power now that it really makes the new ones competitive in cost.

Plus, I think there is something about knowing your car inside and out from building it.
i just saw a website the other day on this, building your own seven. i think its this... Locust Enthusiasts Club - Homepage it seems alot people build sevens without kits.
