Hi may have chance on a 98 zx9r engine are there any known faults and problems when installed in a 7 type kit car north south install and how does it compare to a fireblade or r1 or blackbird.

regards mick

Thats what i have and its a corker for the money! the later E model has a stronger gearbox but i have had no problems with my C model other than a slight clutch slip on full beans in second
Similar performance to a blade, not experienced other two but i hear there is little difference especially on the road

i've got a '98c1 engine in my indy, no problems so far after about 800 miles, the only problem was the clutch pivot lever which kept breaking but that was fixed by fitting a clutch pedal stop everything fine since and it's certainly not slow!!!
