Re: MNR Vortex RT Hayabusa
lets hope so... its been a long time coming.
i will post up a full parts list on a spreadsheet when its done.
a guy in the MNR owners club drove his out of the IVA tests on friday and wrote it off 30 miles down the road on a dual carriage way. Lets hope i get home in one peice
just about cleared the final invoice anyway. went pretty much 20% over budget.
Im looking down the sofa for the last bit....

I thought the same thing - interesting.
Nearly there Lee! Will be amazing once she’s up and running. Which track are you testing on?
Probably take it to silverstone, so i can get some track time there before the Birkett 6 hr Endurance Relay in October

Yes lee take it steady. I imagine it’s going to be quite a handful. Bit like jumping out of a sports car into an F1. Both quick but one significantly quicker! Plus a few shake down runs before you really open her up would probably be good for you and the car.

To be honest you might be better off taking it to a track to get used to it rather than driving it on the road. I can remember my first drive in a 125 gearbox outfit was terrifying but withing a couple of hours it felt normal

If you take a 125 shifter kart down the M3 Andy I'm not surprised it was terrifying!!
