This is my first post on here, so would like to say hi to all to start with. It has always been my dream to build a 7style kit and december 2010 that
dream became reality when i picked my kit up from Chris and Marc on a cold snowy saturday morning.
The aim is to finish by June this year but ive just started nights for a month so that will hamper things alittle.
As you will see ive gone for an RT+ chassis with full cage and powered by a 2008 CBR1000RR fireblade engine, there is a long way to go but im very
impressed so far of the quality of the kit, i just hope it stays that way and i can make MNR proud by the end!
Heres hopefully a few pics of the build so far ( if it works )

Thanks Gavin, when im off these night shifts i will get myself along to one of the meets.
Intentions for the car are to be more track focused, and maybe go on to race it if i can get the budget together, but for now trackdays and sprints
will be the flavour.
Shiny!
so no IVA then..
makes the build alot easier
hope to see you soon.
It's a lot easier to sort out the pedal box before you put all the bodywork on
plz plz keep on with the up dates realy fancy one of these was talkin to them at the nec
would realy love to no the finished weight
Welcome to the forum.
I think your build time will be about 1/10 of mine if you finish when you expect!
Regards
Hugh
Welcome, and good choice of colour
welcome good to see some new builds
Is that a extra brace i can see on your lower engine mount?, i guess becuase the stand offs are so far from the chassis
can i ask why you went for CBR motor over the tried and trusted R1 but it's nice to see something different
ditto with fitting the pedal box pre bodywork
Nice to see your local, Hope to meet you soon and good luck with the build! Everything is on here

Finally finished the night shifts so managed to do a little bit in the garage this morning.
Oooo - careful with that bungy!
nice work - love the color...starting to wish I choose a blue
Just a quick thought... Looks like your lower front wishbones are on the wrong way up, the circlip holding in the shperical bearing should be facing
down!
Looks good so far!
