Your in for a supprise if you haven;t.
Hi gents am going to view my first ever kit car and bec tommorow, it's on pistonheads under bike engine cars catagory, it's yellow fireblade
engined REG:q179 yak. I think someone on here called martin used to own it tried to mail him with no results, just looking for some advice as to
wether it's a good motor or if anyone knows it's history? Thanks in advance

Looks like a tidy build, have you ever driven or been in a BEC or quick kit before?

Do you know much about kit cars? If not, it may be worth finding someone who does and ask them to go with you for a look. Don't know much about
it's history but thought I'd post a pic just in case someone recognises it.

No not driven one before have driven some quick stuff but from what i've seen nothing like this so am a little aprehensive. My dad has done
some rallying in the past and is concerned that I may kill myself unless it has a LSD. Any thoughts on driving an MK Indy with or without one?
I've heard some say there not too bad with bike engines as not alot of low down torque is this true or will i go round in a circle the first time
i accelerate round a corner?
Any car has the potential to kill you whether it be CEC, BEC, Non-LSD or whatever. Personally, I wouldn't be too concerned if it didn't
have a LSD, you can always fit one afterwards if you feel that's what you want. I'd also ignore what you've heard about bike engines
having no low down torque 
Get a ride in one and you'll see what I mean.

out of interest.what diff do you run phil?

First of all, the pic of the yellow car is one sporting a Mac#1 nose. Just thought I'd throw that in.
