Mac#1 ZX10R Worx - My first ever build
Thought I best come say hello in this part of the forum as I am now a Mac#1 owner....... well sort of...... I have placed my order and now just
waiting for the chassis to be fabricated and then I should hopefully be taking delivery of the first few modules mid December.
I have chosen a black chassis, full roll cage all in 38mm tube, green main body, and black arches front and back. It isn't planned that it will
stay like that as I want some decals / design laid on to it to finish it off, but it will make a good base for colours.
I really can't wait to get started  Already been scouring the t'internet for donor parts like the Freelander diff, sierra uprights and
hubs etc. Also been having a real good look at some bikes too as I am considering buying a bike to break myself for the engine, rad, clocks, loom, and
Power Commander...... and I love looking at bikes as thats what I have come off in order to start a kit car project.
Anyway that's all for now. Will keep this thread up to date as my build / project progresses

First Wed of every month but I think a few winter months are missed.
It was always at FOX HOUSE Hathersage Rd, Longshaw, Sheffield, S11 7TY which was really nice.
But it looks like it has now moved as its closer to the Motorway.

Good choice of kit, you will have no problems with the help of Mark and Collin. A couple of things---- think you might be better buying new uprights
from Mac1, and your engine,loom, and clocks from Malc at Yorkshire Engines.

I was seriously thinking about the brand new uprights but thought if I can get some dead cheap on fleabay then I will stick them on for now and then
once the build is complete and on the road I can always swap them out then.
For the engine I have got a price from Malc but am also looking at buying a complete bike and breaking it myself to leave me with an engine, rad,
loom, clocks, and power commander hopefully.

So its been a week since I ordered the car. What have I done? Well I got the garage floor painted
And then I bought some Sierra uprights from Fleabay.
Then I started thinking about engines, prices, and availability. Got a guide price from Malc at Yorkshire Engines but then wondered if I could perhaps
buy a bike with a good engine in it and break it myself. So I then bought this little beauty:
Its a 2006 Kawasaki ZX10R race bike with a dyno proven 172 bhp at the rear wheel which means its had some tasty work done on it
So that was Friday when I got it. By Saturday evening, after 5 hours of work, it was looking like this:
The bike was laden with upgraded items and also came with a mountain of spares too. All of which are going to be listed for sale very shortly, so if
anyone on here wants any ZX10R parts then just send me a message as I probably have whatever it is you are after.

Well done, its the best way to do it instead of buying an overpriced engine.

Just set up a blog site for the the build, and also a general one about me and my bike / car history if anyone is interested in going and having a
look.
I decided I would blog the progress on there rather than do it all on a thread on here. Will be on here asking questions though still

Well plans have changed a little this week. Looks like we are now going turbo
Picked up this little beauty at the weekend. Its a 2006 ZX10R fitted with uprated internals capable of managing 450 bhp, and then fitted with a little
turbo, currently capable of up to 350 bhp supposedly.
The current turbo, manifold, and exhaust are going to be coming off and getting replaced with something specific for the car I think. First off I need
to strip the bike down and get the engine out

now:

That two really smart looking bikes you have stripped now. Your lucky we all prefer 4 wheels. I dare show this post to some of my mates. They would go
mental!!
Good luck with the build.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

IMO, the zx10 motor on a NA basis is perfect power output for the size and weight of the car i think mine made 174bhp on the rollers and the
drivability of it is awesome especially on track, ie mid corner throttling, getting on the power early ect, i think its ben from up north who built a
turbo version he had a build thread on PH stunning build and top bloke he might have different opinion on it ?? i have a couple of mates with r6
bikes and mine is identical on exeleration up through the gears!!!!!
