Hi guys, I'm a newbie on hear, so a quick hello, and yes I'm going to be building an MK Midi very soon, my chassis will be the 3rd one
built by Martin, I have just taken my engine down to him so that he can make up the mounts. I'm going to be using a 2006 ZX10r engine as I know
these engines pretty well (I raced a ZX10r for 2 years) and I know a few tuning tricks! Martin just lives down the road from me so I can call in and
help out with my build as it's going. I've driven his 'prototype' a few times now and yes it's very impressive with the
power from the ZX12 motor, but the good thing about the ZX10 motor is the fact that it has a slipper clutch as standard, and I can use my quickshifter
on it! I'll post pics when I can.

They are built specificaly for bike engines, Martin takes your engine and builds the mounts into the chassis build. Talk to Martin, you may be able to
adapt it to take v-tec but space would be very tight!

Midi
Hi Omni, just been down to Martins this morning, he's just in the final stages of the build on the 2nd chassis, mines going to be the 3rd to be
built, we're looking at christmas week before mines done. He's sorted a supplier out for the fibreglass which is going to be colour
impregnated, and also sorted the powder coaters out for the chassis. They are both local to us so this helps no end with the development. There are
going to be a few changes to the production chassis kits from the 1st prototype, which should be even better! I strongly urge anyone interested to go
and see Martin and take his car for a drive, you will be very impressed!

Mk Midi
Been working with Martin this last couple of days on my chassis (production #2), things are coming along pretty quickly now, I have also seen the
fibreglass today first hand and I have to say i'm pretty impressed  If anyone is thinking of an MK Midi this year then I urge you to contact
MK sharpish 'cos with the way things are moving you could end up waiting a while for a kit! and no before anyone asks i'm not a sales man
for MK! lol.
can't wait to take delivery of it now, i'm hoping to be at Cadwell with it the last weekend in March, for a trackday with focused
events.
I'll get som pics of it tomorrow if i remember my camera!
