Looks like I may be able to blag 2-4 weeks off work from next week when I hand my notice in...
If so, could get MOST of my car finished...

There is no manifold or turbo included in those weights...
So add the manifolds induction system, clutch, intercooler, looking at another 30-40kg's
Gonna be approx 550kg's I reckon...
still bloody awesome with 350bhp

The inlet manifold is 1.5 kgs inc all the other bits plenum etc, exhaust is heavy, about 1.5x exhaust manifold, and the turbo is less than exhaust
manifold...
Should still come within the 40 kg's but then you gotta add fuel/water/oil etc...
Should be around 550kgs still...
If not its going on a diet, 4wd manifolds Light weight battery....

Okay, My life has just changed considerably...
I have just discovered I have got a 3yr contract to go and work in cyprus...
Its a good job and there is no question I am gonna take it, but it leaves me with a dillemma..
1. Complete the car in cyprus - not really practical as Cyprus has no SVA test for kit cars so would mean shipping it back to the uk for registration
and sva etc
2. Abandon the project and sell the parts - Nooooooooooooo
3. Complete the car before 1st december, get it sva'd and registered, and then ship it to cyprus and use out there...
Spoken to Chris and they are up for it...
So I am off to stay in harrogate fairly soon to get this beast finished...
OMG how scary is this... kit to finish in 1.5 months max...

You are a brave man!
So you're building the kit up in Harrogate with Marc and Chris or they are building it for you?
I'd certainly be gutted to sell the car before I'd even taken delivery of the kit!
Does the car have to be registered in the UK for a certain time period first though?
Well done with the job and good luck!
Chris.

The car will need to be registered in my name for 6 months before I can get a cyprus registration....
I will be building it with an MNR mechanic... At least thats what Chris has said...
Idea is get it finished, sva'd, registered, ship it over round about march april next year before the wife emigrates, use it on UK plates with a
green card, then once time limits reached, register in cyprus as a 6 month old car and re-insure with local firm...
The time between december and shipping next year, should be able to let marc and chris use the car as a show car if they wish...

It could be the loan car for when people smash up their's!
Should be one heck of a show car though.
Sounds like you've got most of the logistics sorted. Are you going to stay in one of their cottages up in Harrogate then?
Chris.

Well, had a good week at MNR, Marc's family have made it a home from home.
Sadly we havent got the car started yet as Marc is such a perfectionist the chassis had to be perfect before hitting the powder coaters, so looks like
Tuesday for full steam ahead..
The ZX12R motor is an absolute peach, 4,000 miles only, and all the parts are immaculate except for the genny cover which is scuffed badly (where the
guy fell off). Luckily I have a carbon cover for this courtesy of Chris Norden

Should be an awesome car mate!
Make sure you take pictures at EVERY step and post them!
Good luck for the build next Tuesday. Not that you'll need it in the company that you're in...
Chris.
