I found most of it quite easy. The hardest points were
1) all the filing to make things fit. Buy a dremmel
2) wiring the horn. The wiring chart is a bit wrong. I have posted a solution on here.
3) getting the engine to start. It turned out to be a broken wire.
It is quite a lot of work but it is worth it in the end.

Hi.
I'm building a VortX with a FI R1 (2003)
Although not finished it's been a very straightforward job.
Wil take quite a few hours, but it's great watching the beast born...
I would choose a FI R1 again; with a powercommander you can fine tune it.

The biggest problem I've found is the build manual doesn't match my car!
I'm using the manual as more of a guide as Marc updates the chassis when he becomes aware of problems or works out a better way to do things.
Bear in mind you're not buying a simple bolt together kit, things won't fit and will require some ingenuity. It's a fantastic
process and MNR will help you all the way

Mine passed its sva first time...
No issues with the car at all.. most fails are around emissions (gas and noise), so thats worth setting up right but it affects any BEC
Opinions are like backsides..
Everyone has one, nobody wants to hear it and only other peoples stink!
