Welcome to the madhouse.
Best advice i could give if you are new to kit cars is to take along someone who does know them. If you pop in your profile where you are, and also
where the Indy is you are going to look at - maybe someone will be free and able to go with you.

You cant give that much info and advice in one post
If your new to it all I would advise getting some assistance in viewing a car or put the listing here it may be well known
Fireblade engine could last 50k or more clutch between 1 week and forever
Add where you are and youll get more help here

Depends on how you drive it really. If you sit on the rev limiter all the time then it wont last. BEC's give the clutches alot of stick due to
the weight of the car but if driven well then they will last for many years. Just check oil, water etc and on test drive check for clean gear changes.
The fireblade engine is a cracking engine and has been proven to be by the RGB racers. If it looks a tidy car with no wires hanging everywhere and
good body work they it will prob be a well looked after car.
Hope this helps.
