HELP!

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 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!

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.
