2007 TIGER

Tiger Avon High Specification Kit Car BEC Bike engined car Caterham 7 seven Locost trackday 210BHP 540Kg Light Weight Suzuki GSXR1000 Supercharged

Built with a no compromise budget , just to look good and go like hell.

Put together myself and my brother with plenty of help from professional engineers and tuners to create into a extremely fast super light sports car.

The basic kit was produced by Tiger kit cars of Wisbech but due to what we wanted to build we used as few of their parts as possible. In the end just using their chassis (modified), Suspension A frames and Fibreglass body (heavily modified).

We chose to power the car with a motorcycle engine due to their light weight, high power and much higher rev range. The engine is mounted at 90 degrees across the car with the prop shaft from a reverser gearbox bolted to an adapted output shaft where the chain sprocket used to be. As the bike engine was not designed to go round corners in an upright state (they usually lean!) it would suffer from oil starvation with the oil being pushed away from the sump oil pickup so a dry sump kit has been fitted with a crank driven oil pump, keeping the oil flowing in all of the high speed bends = race car realiability.

With a mountain of paperwork and receipts

The car has not been used for a number of years due to other hobbies, commitments and newer faster cars but has been stored waiting in a dry garage so it is time to go to a new loving home.

Due to the fixed position narrow carbon seats and steering wheel it is best suited to someone of around 6ft tall and slim build. Or use a cushion.
