Were at the show? Apart from Gkd. Thought there was going to be a few kits there?

[Edited on 3/5/10 by franky]

MNR, MX5 or 318 based now.

MK engineering is working on a Beamer inspired 7. I expect it will bee u to the usual Martin Keenan standard. That being a well designed and built, quality kit

Fully completed BMW based car on show or plans?

Luego are now producing viento kits for based on the BMW.

Sorry, what I meant is were there any
completed kits there or BMW based rolling chassis actually on show.

Not a kit but based on BMW: wiesmann

Hi there

I talked to MNR, Luego and of course GKD this weekend.

MNR and Luego are using all BMW donor parts - MNR said 318is was way to go, Luego said anything goes really. MNR are doing a 318is at the moment and Luego said he has a 328i on the go.

Both really impressive kits and both really helpful as well. Seems that it's a case of using existing well proven chassis but moving the brackets around to fit the BMW bits/engines.

MNR had a chassis on show but the notice on it said it would take MX5 or 318 parts. Luego didn't have the chassis on show. They did have the gulf coloured car - it looked brilliant in the flesh and the engine is an absolute monster.

GKD had their blue and red one there all completed and done - had a sit in it and a quick look round. That one is 318is as well I think.

I didn't see the MK one there though and every time I went round to MK Engineering there was loads of people about so I didn't get chance to ask. MK Sports Cars weren't aware of it but aren't they seperate companies anyway ?

One thing I wasn't sure of though was differentials, as I thought the 318is had a small case diff whereas the 6 pots had the bigger case ?

cheers

For MNR the donor car is 318is ... E30 or E36 ?
Can work with RT or RT+ kit ?

Thanks

I'd look at MNR, Having seen their mx5/bmw chassis this weekend. I'd recommend them highly! Very nice and helpful guys aswell!

I think the MNR is meant to be E36 based - but better to ask.

Not too sure about whether you can have an RT(+) based on MX5/E36 - it was one of the things I didn't ask but meant to.

318is and the e36 6 pots use a med case
diff.
