The car was built by the 'MAC' (Mark and Colin) in Sheffield in 2004. This car was specially built for a customer with performance and lightness as the main goal. It uses an ex Isle of man TT R1 engine, lighter than standard coil overs (Pro-tech),titanium bolts and fixings, Front stoppers are 305mm grooved discs, 4 piston Hi-spec calipers, whilst the rears are Cosworth twin piston calipers with 280mm discs.Power is around 160+ bhp weighing around 400kgs giving around 380bhp per ton.Features a Digi-dash giving lots of critical data, speed, water temp, oil temp, oil pressure, fuel remaining, stop watch, 0-60 acceleration and lots of other info.
Has been magazine featured (track and Race Cars)when new in 2004 doing a lap of Bruntingthorpe in 1min 34.36 secs which isn't too shabby (GPS timed).

Looks, good. I saw this for sale and thought it looked like a sound purchase for someone. I have heard that it takes a while to get used to the clutch as you either end up stalling it, or putting an enormous number 11 down the road at lights and in traffic etc. Have you had such problems?Features a Digi-dash giving lots of critical data, speed, water temp, oil temp, oil pressure, fuel remaining, stop watch, 0-60 acceleration and lots of other info.

Chap he sold it to called him back the week after he bought it to let him know the car was awesome but he'd had a small off in it. This would explain the different nose cone and bonent from how I remember it.
Also please, please, put a real roll bar on it, that diagonal thing is darn right dangerous.
