Is this the right place? If not it's too late now, haha

I live in sunny south yorkshire and am looking to take on a Mac#1 9R over the winter as a first build.

I've always been interested in engineering and kit cars and i'm in the fortunate position to be able to afford and have the spare time to carry out the task.

I plan on attending the kit car show in newark this weekend so that should give me a better idea of what i'm looking at.

I currently own a Single Turbo Mazda RX7 which will unfortunatley have to make way for the Kit.

I hope to make use of the search function before posting random crap

Welcome to the Mad House,

I'm sure you'll find the help you need on here, Newark is a good starting point, plenty of people to talk to and plenty of other kits to look at, Dont iron out the MK or other kits like MNR etc.

I'm sure Newark will help you make your mind up! Be sure to have a ride in a BEC and a CEC before you make your engine choice, you wont be dissapointed with a BEC!! (Running for cover!!)

Mike

Welcome

Everyone here has been really helpful everytime I've hit a smag of which there have been many

hope you enjoy the build whatever make of car you decide to buy.

Thanks guys, i've been out in a CEC Westfield in the past but never BEC, as the BEC is what i've got my heart set on could anyone spare half an hour one weekend to scare the living crap out of me?

I see a few BEC's driving around doncaster so if anyone is local and has some spare time please let me know.

Not to far away i'm in Worksop, dont mind taking you for a blast if you are struggling, If you are at Newark sunday i'll take you out then!

Mike

welcom to forum mate.

Is it just my perception or are there a disproportionate number of forum users in Yorkshire?

If I get bored, I'll start a poll to see where people are.

P.S. Welcome.

Welcome to the forum.

Call into the Mac#1 owners area for a chat. Should be a good selection of cars there.

I dont know what you mean

You are welcome to have the crap scared out of you in mine ! I can't be far from you. If you havn't already I suggest you visit Mac1 and MK on saturday mornings, always good inspiration to see other cars either half built or finnished, people are always willing to answer any questions.

Welcome

Welcome to the forum.

Come and say hello at the MAC#1 stand and at the M1MOC area at Newark.

Youve chosen wisely and wont look back.

Makes a change from flat hats and ferrets??

Aye, the M1's cobbled up here Rusty

Real man's car, real man's county?

Or too tight to buy a cateringvan?

Who knows?

Cheers

You've defiantly come to the right loony place.

There's tons of good cars round Yorkshire and a lot of manufacturers.

Don't rule out the MNR, Mac#1, Indy or the Procomp

All have their pro's and cons, also don't rule out a CEC as you'll see when my turbo charge Rover engined MNR comes flying past

Cheers,
Steve

Ah, another from sunny Donny
Where are you..if you ever need help or just inspiration give us a shout. Built 2 crossflow cars, you're welcome to come round and have a look / cup of tea (although mine's off the road at the mo waiting for an MOT)

Hi talking of donny ( I know you meant Doncaster ).

There is a trackday at Donnington park on the 18 July. There will be cars from many of the manufacturers there and i am sure you will get a passenger ride in both a BEC and a CEC. This will give you a better idea of what each manufacturers cars really handle like as well as a more realistic idea of the comparison of BEC v CEC.

Oh and welcome to the mad house as they say. It certainly is mad round here.

Cheers Matt

The trackday at donnington sounds like a good bet, thanks for the heads up. Ive driven the track a number of times in a tin top so seeing it from a kit car must be fantastic.

I live in Skellow, so north of Doncaster
