Started building my Kit last wednesday, heres the pics so far...

Was going to be cossie powered but sadly import tax to cyprus where I have just got a job was £6000 and for the 1.2 engine is only £700.

Spec is MNR Vortx RT+ http://www.mnrltd.co.uk
Raceleda Lightweight Uprights, Brakes, Hubs
OZ Super leggera 15 inch wheels with toyo 888 205/50 15 tyres
Kawasaki ZX12R Engine
Pace Dry Sump
Digidash II dashboard and datalogger
Cossie 7.5 inch rear LSD


pace dry sump kit - not easy to plumb!

the engine with dry sump


Marc and Andy weld the chassis


International Man of Mystery gets grassed...




Steve builds a front lower wishbone



dry sump pr0n



Chassis off to powder coaters



chassis back from powder coaters... 2 days, not bad for 300 mile round trip



floors in, Thanks for buggering off early Andy :P



Brake and fuel lines go in

 

Checkout that sexy front end



The rear's not bad either



Brake lines in detail


It's a miracle, marc makes the coffee's



international man of mystery and fish and chips collector shows how a floor pan is riverted in style... yeah not mine tho you goit..



Wishbones better than you pull at Christmas



\engine goes in... i got wood baby





Zx12r has a real coke habit, I hope to get her sniffing petroleum fumes soon, far nice habit for an engine...



Now who's gonna sniff up my leftovers...



Oil cooler proves it can sniff with the best aeroquip fittings


Hubs on....

Pump it baby



Loom with bonus freebie datatool evo veto alarm



Half shafts are all at an end...



Oil cooler aquires some cool mounts.

 

Smart!!!


Keep the updates coming

 

Some serious bit of kit there

 

quality

 

impressive keep the pics coming

 

nice project you have on your hands there

 

 

very nice mate

 

WOW, exactly what im hoping to be doing early in the spring, all be it with a much simpler of the shelf kit

Keep the good work up

and keep the build pics cumin

 

o0o0o sexy

 

 

excellent project mate, loving the fabrication

 

The MNR Vortx is an olf the shelf kit, except its tailored to your choice of engine...

The R1 powered version is a bargain.. as low as £6000 complete







6.5 days and the wiring is done, just a few more parts to fit then the exhaust fabrication

 

Maybe I missed it, but what will the power to weight ratio be??

Anyway, that car is great m8!!

 

Power to weight should be around 450bhp per ton

Latest Pics

















Rear Arches are on, rear lights on the wings still need to fit num plate light, reverse and fog lights..

Gear Linkage finished, engine wiring finished, some plumbing started...

Front prop arrives monday, rear torque resiliant tube prop in, and VERY tight fit, only 2-3 mm clearance at present so we may have to mod the tunnel very slightly just to give more clearance...

 

brilliant. Really good value for money there too. Better off with a motorbike engine in a light wight kit car than a YB I reckon now, really well balanced and revvy!!

 

geared for around 130 mph and 0-60 around 3 seconds.. road legal slicks (TOYO 888'S) Should make it fun to drive on the road...

You gotta hear this thing when it revs, sounds simply awesome...

Biggest problem is gonna be SVA test (single vehicle authorisation) as they make you go through a full emissions test (and noise test) when you never have to do it again...

Getting an injection motorcycle engine down to 200 ppm hydrocarbons, 0.3% co and within lambda limits is bloody hard...

Note the quaiffe reverse box, and the torque resiliant prop (cush drive)

Theoretically this has 6 forward and 6 reverse sequential gears...

4000 mile zx12r motor and all dry sump gear has come to around £3600

 

Thats awesome

Keep the updates coming

Fingers crossed...

 

awesome project mate....

 

Will take some vids of SVA day... but cannot take much as they wont allow it at the VOSA centre

 

Passed SVA first time...

Will post some video soon, couldnt today was so cold lens was misting and wouldnt let me video the test at all...

 

good work there and well done passing SVA first time
seen many a kit car fail its first test

 

Looks well smart mate



Brian

 

 

Yes and I have attended a few of them as well...

Pays to be nice to the tester on previous SVA's as he let my steering thru with minimal self centering...

No point acting like a brat and giving them grief when they think they are giving you safety advice.. they just think "what a tossah"..

Thanks for the nice comments guys... shoulda been a cossie, but still got a decent car

 

OK the pics you have all been waiting for
















Cycle wings will be fitted as soon as the brackets get here from powder coaters... they are already drilled and fitted, just a quick bolt on job...

 

Passed first time? Well done, a neat job there. Post the performance figures when you can

 

thats seriously awesome mate! bet it flieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss!!!

 

looks sweet m8t only thing i not keen on is the mesh in the front reminds me of barryed cars get some nice st mesh in there
