Absolutley mint mate, well done!

I nearly bought a Vortx - They look really clean in the white, not a colour I would choose, but I would now, it looks spot on with the black arches.



clean build, nice one.

Superb mate! Looks really nicely put together!


richardh - 17/4/12 at 06:01 AM

very nice

looks like a really nice build..

just spotted one thing..

you have a low fluid indicator in one reservoir but not the other..
will that pass IVA?


big_l - 17/4/12 at 07:08 AM

Work in progress lol I have the other cap but need to perfect the first one before I wreck both caps .

There's loads IVA work to do trim mirrors etc etc

Glad you all like it though I've tried to keep it mega neat hidden wires and pipes etc etc

Looks good.

Few bit s I'd question for IVA (I did SVA so might be out of touch)...

Radius on the rear view mirror brackets.
Whats the gaffer tape covering on the n/s of the rollbar? Any padding needs to be seen as "perminant"
Front indicators look too far from the outer edge. Widest part will be measured at the rear wheel arch. Min 400mm in from that line. Probably need extending out.
Side repeater position (can't see in the photos)?
Have you got rear reflectors? Can't see any.
Harness top mountings need to be higher than the holes in the seats (or the seat becomes structural). Long bolts and spacers will do.
They used to get picky about the spec' on resevoir to master cyl' pipes. Do you have documentation?

Hey leon, Vortx looks really tidy mate! Did you have your exhaust custom made? I managed to pick up a 2011 busa lump from Malc at yorkshire engines too, thank again for the contact.

Clive.


big_l - 17/4/12 at 08:04 AM

Thanks for the iva pointers !!!!

Clive the exhaust was made by MNR

I've been really pleased with the quality of all the MNR stuff


Coopz - 17/4/12 at 08:11 AM

Wow that looks awesome, you have done a great job with your build!


big_l - 17/4/12 at 08:24 AM

Forgot to mention the rollcage and a few other things all have cling wrap on them to protect them wile I'm still building !!!


Twin40 - 17/4/12 at 08:26 AM

yep i have to admit, some of the stuff i've got from MK is just not up to scratch, i've spent alot of time fixing things i shouldn't have to!

When do you hope to have the car on the road?
