Default MK Indy ZX12R

With all the talk about over taking kit cars in fiestas, thought i put up some pictures of my old mans MK Indy. its got a ZX12R bike engine dynojetted and up at 170bhp. gearing is for off the line speed so tops out at 120mph but it does go 0-60 in 3.2secs.

Luckily its parked in my garage at the mo so getting to use it a lot more then him.

Comments welcome, and looking forward to a 240bhp fiesta coming past me at some point.



And on the flip side, he also has this super fast, 500cc monster in the garage.



Two completely different sides to motoring.

if you can hold on tomorrow i'll get some, to late to go out into the garage. Want to take it to santa pod at some point to see what it runs the 1/4 in. love the colour your doing yours in. if the old man keeps the motor i want to strip it all down and repaint it. Take that stupid graphic off the side.

I would think on anything other than Brunters or a motoraway *ahem* the MK would be long gone down the road especially with a few islands chucked in for fun...

My old mans interested in selling it at some point, looking at around 10k. I want him to keep it but if the offer came in he'd probably let it go.
