new toy
Here are a few quick pics of a recently completed Vortx. It is running an '07 R1 with full electronic paddle shift.
My camera is acting up so the pics are not the best I'm afraid.

That looks really nice!
Just put in an order for a Vortx RT inboard and was thinking that white/black would be a good combo.
I think your pictures may have swung it for me

Nice one Sonja!
The bonnet bulge in reverse is to get rid of the hot air I guess?
And please explain how you fit the bonnet - o catches, but a central hole on the scuttle... what keeps the bonnet in place on all sides?
Are you going to race it as well?
One more thing: What electronic shifter ara you using and what is your experience? We are planning to install a quickshifter soon.
Thanks!
Gergely

Is the top of the airbox "homemade" or is it something that is for sale some where?

Very nice, credit to the builder/s
I would guess the bonnet is held on with Dzus fasteners in each corner. You can see one inside the nose Very good idea

Hi Guys
Thanks for the kind words.
The '07 engine has the moveable air rams so the airbox pokes through the bonnet a bit about the same as maximill666's turbo airbox. The
scoop is just a cover so I thought I'd turn it around to get the underbonnet air out. I still need to put some side vents on. The engine temp is
fine but we do get very hot days here. It was about 35 degrees when we ran it last week.
The shifter is a translogic powershifter. It is a really nice bit of kit and very easy to work with. It is the first time I have used one but so far
it seems very good indeed.
The paddles are off a Subaru road car so a bit cheaper than some of the aftermarket options. They also allow fitment around the Momo boss which is
handy.
The airbox was custom made by moulding off the standard base to a handmade plug. It took a few goes to get the height correct so it still needs some
final touches.
I still have your email Henrik so I'll take some closer pics for you as you are building an MNR with this engine.
The bonnet is held on with Dzus fasteners and the nose with slide clips.
p.s. Gergely I sent you an email to see how your engine idle was going. Seems your on holidays. Alright for some
Cheers
Sonja

Sonja,
Your car looks fantastic but imagine if there is a fire in the engine bay. The flames will be directed straight into your face with the scoop that
way.
Just a thought?
