R1 mini project
r1_manx - 9/7/08 at 03:39 PM

Hey guys,
I am a newcomer to the forum here. I am currently in the process of building a FWD yamaha R1 powered classic mini with my friend James. In December 2007 I purchased a 2003 yamaha R1 motor. Since then we have modified the standard subframe and have fabricated a custom engine frame. We are at the point of sorting out the drivetrain at the moment and getting the diff/sprocket into the car. I have a project website (www.r1manx.com) and plenty of pictures uploaded (www.flickr.com/r1manx) so please feel free to take a look, I am grateful for any advice or constructive criticism regarding the build from people on this forum. Cheers everyone, I can't wait to get her lit!

Thanks Doug,

We designed the carrier and oil in Autocad and Douglas at westgarage (www.westgarage.co.uk) fabricated it for us. I am really pleased with the end product.
