Many Great Reasons Why You Should Build Your Own 5EXi

Marlin have always been renowned for producing some of the finest and most respected self assembly vehicles available. Our sportscar range is now refined to the point where quality components and ease of assembly makes such a project a truly enjoyable and pleasurable experience.

Fast To Drive - Fast To Build

Designed as a single donor sports and race car, with 2 primary purposes in mind - fast to drive - fast to build.

With the 5EXi conceived from the ground up to be quick and easy to assemble - with minimal equipment and prior knowledge - Marlin have created a car which can comfortably be built in less than 100hours*.

Of Course There are Many Other Advantages Also

Initial purchase is far less expensive - and costs are conveniently spread over the period of the build. Plus it's so easy to add that personal individual touch at each and every stage.

Assured Quality

All 5EXi components are powder coated, lazer cut, pre-drilled, jig-built and ready to bolt together, thus eliminating alignment problems often encountered with many other kits.

Our comprehensive packages even include all wiring looms and lights - right down to the last nut and bolt**.

No Building Worries - as Help is at Hand

Marlin's 'Network-M' system, puts you in touch with an owner in your area, who - should you decide to buy a kit, - will then become your mentor, offering advice and when possible assistance.

Via our five day building hotline, the Marlin factory is always on hand to offer you free building advice, as is the wonderfully active forums and builders websites - many of which can be accessed direct via the 'links' section for each of our models.

You can also contact the 'Marlin Sportscar Club' - which was created in conjunction with the factory for those inspired by trackdays and racing - whose members have a wealth of knowledge - and the 'Marlin Owners Club', which is one of the most active and successful clubs in the country.

5EXi - 2 Single Donor Choices

The 5EXi was always developed as a single donor build. Originally based on the Rover 'K' series donor - and now using the ubiquitous and superb Honda Civic, with its high performing V-Tech 1600cc, its fast becoming the donor of choice for both road and track.

However should you choose to use some of the other more radical powerplants around, we also supply fitting kits for some of the best - Including the awesome Honda 2.0 'R' and the VW Golf 2litre Turbo.
