FAQ

We know you'll have a lot questions, so we've answered some of the most common ones below.

We want to hear from you and work through any more questions you have regarding the kit, the cert process, tools, experience or anything else not covered in our FAQ.

You can contact us via email advancedfab@yahoo.com or phone Michael on 0272289785 

​

How do I place my order?

Contact us via email, phone or the contact us page and our team will send an order form for you to complete!

​

Does the kit require mechanical or welding skills?

While some mechanical skills are a bonus, they are not required. The MX5 platform is very well supported with Manuals and Forums worldwide packed with information.

The kit itself can and has be assembled by people with little automotive experience.

No welding is required.

​

What tools do i need?

The kit can be put together with a basic automotive tool set with some extra essentials in there:

Rivet Gun, Rivnut Gun, Torque Wrench, Engine Crane (borrow or rent one for a day), a decent drill with drill bits, jigsaw or angle grinder.

​

How long will it take to build?

The length of this project can take somewhere between 100-300 hours of work depending on your knowledge and quality of work. We've had customers complete the build process in under 6 months from delivery to driving. Others are still working on their kits

​

Once I order my kit, how long until I can pick it up?

We manufacture our kits to order, and depending on the number of kits in the queue your order may take between 6-12 weeks before it will be ready for collection.

​

Does the chassis come painted?

No, we leave the painting up to our clients, this avoids any damage in transport etc.

​

What are the colour options for the body panels?

There are a lot of colour options for the body panels, our pricing listed is for gloss black, there are some extra charges involved for custom colours.

​

How do I go about getting my Exocet road registered?

We provide each customer with a list of items to help with the scratch built car cert and compliance process. This includes a VIN number, Cert of origin paperwork and our frames are of course Design approved by LVVTA.

We suggest each builder contacts a certifier in their area at the time of purchasing a kit to discuss the process so there are no surprises.

You can read more about about the scratch built cert process and find a list of NZ certifiers via the link below:

https://www.lvvta.org.nz/

​

Can I fit other engines and running gear in this kit?

We've designed and had the Exocet approved to be built using either a 1.6 or 1.8 engine (turbo and non turbo) from a MX5 - while other complete engines swap kits are available for MX5s (LS, Rotary and Kmiata for example) it would be best to talk to your certifier regarding a swap.

​

Do you sell completed Exocets or just in a build it yourself kit?

We only sell Exocets in kit form so our customers can enjoy the journey of building it!

It's rare but sometimes a completed car will come up on for sale or a demo model might be available.

​

Can I get insurance for my Exocet?

Yes! Our team can point you in the direction of multiple insurance companies that will insure your car.

​

Is there a way I can see and drive one?

We can help with both demo drives and rides free of charge from our Manawatu office, we offer an airport pick up and drop off should you need it! We also have a great network of current builders around the country we can put you in touch with.

​

Do I need a special license to drive one?

No, a regular drivers license is all that's required

​

Can you ship a chassis to me or do I need to pick it up?

Yes, we can organize shipping. We manufacture custom steel pallets to ensure safe delivery 

​

Im in Australia, can these be made legal here?

Yes we have recently had the first NZ manufactured chassis registered in South Australia, We have some awesome customers over there who are always willing to share there knowledge about getting these registered.

ABOUT US

ABOUT US

Exocet NZ was born in 2011 as a result of a discussion between Tom Carpenter and Stuart Mills at MEV (UK). MEV had been producing the Exocet for several months and it was (and still is) a runaway success.

​

Initially the idea was simply to import a kit to build up and enjoy here on NZ roads. But Stuart explained that he was challenged keeping up with UK demand and wasn’t able to provide the resources to start exporting kits. So, the logical step was for Tom to manufacture the kits here in New Zealand.

​

After going through the process of modifying the design and materials to meet NZ LVVTA certification requirements, production started in earnest.  There are dozens of Exocets in New Zealand, either complete and on the road or in peoples sheds being worked on.  The Exocet is the fastest growing kit car around the world and our aim is to make sure it is right here in NZ too!

​

Exocet Kitcar NZ is now based in Palmerston North, and we're more passionate than ever about connecting car enthusiasts with an Exocet kit of their own.
