HELP!
Craigman9 - 23/3/11 at 09:34 PM

Hi Guys,

Sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum but I am just new to the website and to the whole kit car seen so just wanted to introduce myself. Im 21 years old and a marine engineer from South Shields

I am looking to spend around £7000 on a fully built kit to start with so was just wondering where I should begin my search? I have been looking at the Mk Indy and also the MNR Vortx with bike engines but some help would be appreciated!

Cheers
Craig

i cant comment on the mk,but had an mnr and it was great! R1 powered. good fun,quick,handled well and the help mnr give to there customers is superb! and thats worth a lot. have you thought of mac#1 ? they should be a contender also and those guys also extremely helpful!

mnr gets my vote every time

I haven't considered the mac1 yet mate. I have literally just been on pistonheads looking at a few but I will read through the forums to hear various opinions.

I like the fact you give good feedback about the guys at MNR, that is worth a lot I agree Thanks for the help!

to be honest i prefer the mk to mnr and mac#1.. i would also go bike engine powered mate.. they are silly quick.. may be selling my locost in summer for mk....

pop down to MK and ask for a spin in the Honda S2000 turbod car might change your mind. I run a car engined MK and more than happy, bike engined cars are frantic and offer blistering acceleration more suite to track than cruising.

Hi Craig,welcome to the nut house.

I run a zetec powered indy and just live up the road from you,in Hebburn.
Feel free to come and have a look but i cant take it out on the
road until the 1st of april though.

Thanks Andy!

Yeah I will have to pop through whenever you have the time. I was speaking to Kris also and he was saying to pop through and have a look at his Vortx. Im hoping to get myself something soon!

No bother at all mate,
Any time.
