MK indy wide?
jk - 8/12/05 at 03:16 PM

Anyone know if they can/would do a slightly more accomodating chassis? (just not quite as girthy as a viento)

Bearing in mind i'd like IRS sierra rear end, pref + LSD and disks.

See the GTS section.

Out of interest why do you want it wider??

They would have to make wider fibreglass as well, so I don't think they would be very happy to do a one-off.

Have you looked at the W7DE kit from GTS Tuning?

The indy is one of the wider cars due to narrow trans tunnel.

MNR's vortx is a bit wider in the body than a book chassis and uses the standard sierra rear end. It isn't as wide as a GTS w7de, a Luego viento or a Caterham "pie eater" as one magazine called it. It might be of interest to you.

JK, might be a daft question but have you tried the fit of an MK Indy? If not, get yourself upto MK on Saturday and try a few out If you have, just ignore the last comment.

I find the Mk wide enough even for me. I'm 6'1'' and 17+ stone and it is a comfy fit for me. As hellfire says try one.
