[Edited on 19/05/04 by PAUL FISHER]
I had the pleasure of driving the MK Engineering Midi at Oulton Park yesterday, must say I was very impressed, it was Martins demo car, powered by the
ZX12r motor, the 1st thing I notice as I floored the throttle coming out of the pit lane was the level of grip and instant throttle responce, with not
of hint of wheel spin or the car trying to get out of shape, as I would get with any other BEC se7ven type car, I could already see why these mid
engined cars, such as the Z cars mini's and the like, can get of the line so much quicker, the rest of the drive the car did not fail to impress,
it gave me such great feed back, I felt 100% confident with the car instantly, I was expecting a bit of understeer when really pushing it through the
corners at Oulton, with the weight of the motor behind me, and so little weight up front, but there was not a hint of it, it felt so light and nimble,
Ive not had that much fun driving a car for a long time, for me its got to be, just for sheer fun and performance, the best value kit on the market
today.

Wouldn't you expect oversteer with weight at the back??
, but none of us like driving a car that understeers,but powerfull midi's are prone to understeer since there is
little weight over the front wheels,so under hard acceleration coming out of a corner, the front of the car is prone to lift and cause understeer, but
the MK Midi had none of it, which is why I was especially please with the way it handled quote:
