For Sale: Mac#1 Type 9R Worx (R1 engine) (2009)
I started building this car before any thoughts of family came along and just before SVA the wee man turned up. Haven't really had a chance to
drive it much as I try and make sure my weekends are with the family these days.
The cash will go towards a new double garage so I have somewhere to tinker during the week when I'm home.
Pictures on Pistonheads at the link below. Looking for about £10k although I don't want to think about how much time and money went into it. Any
questions, give me a call at the number on the link or PM me through here.

How was the drive? Has the missus forgiven you yet for making her drive all the way?

The drive home was good (200miles, 3hr 45mins) although my ears were ringing when i got back.
I had to stop 3 times for fuel and a cushion to prop myself a little higher in the seat (i need to adjust the seat height), it rained but surprisingly
didn't get wet, speedo decided to stop working, it just showed 35mph regardless of the actual speed but before it packed up i managed to roughly
figure out that every 1k rpm was 10mph in top gear, so it wasn't too bad.
Found that the rear is a bit lively on lift off after heavy accelerating, tracked down to worn rear wishbone bushes and the clutch appears to be
slipping under heavy acceleration. Apart from those minor issues i got back fine, no overheating, nothing fell off, nothing major broke, so all in
very happy. I'm heading over to AB Performance on Wednesday to get them to cast there eye over it and then get it booked in for any little bits
to get sorted.
Also i kept forgetting what gear i was in and as i wasn't use to the high revs i kept trying for another gear, but after the second fuel stop i
started counting the gears and i think its 1 down, 5 up so 6 gears in total, got to check that again though as i think you said it only had 5??
Missus is fine, albeit a little fed up on the day, she actually really likes the car, although she hasn't yet come out in it.

Most bike engines have 6 gears.
It helps to out sprint the really heavy car engines.

Good effort. That's the mileage tripled in one day. Definately six gears. 1 forward and 5 back.
Speedo sensor is next to the diff. Maybe a magnet or two came off on the drive.
Surprised about a bit of clutch slip. Maybe it's just been sitting too long without much use and didn't appreciate actually being used for
a change.
Glad to hear all good otherwise.

Mileage is on 325 now and it will go up again tomorrow. Bright sunshine, so my daily commute is going to be alot more fun in the morning
Speedo seems fine now, maybe just a slight blip on the long run home?
I'm going to get AB Performance to have a look at the clutch, hopefully it wont be anything too serious, as you say it may be that its just
because its been sitting too long and now being used it needs some adjustment.
