The M3 takes a back seat due to new toy!

[teabagger]

I am feeling a little sorry for the M3 as it has no-one to drive it at the minute as I've finally got my hands on my new toy!
Its a 'seven' style car built by MNR. Its fitted with an R1 bike engine, weights about 450kgs and it shifts!

I just need to get used to it but due to the shi*te weather, I cant get out in it

The cost depends on the spec of the car. The spec list is endless, with different engines, suspension and chassis packages available, self build or factory build.

Give Chris at MNR a call and he can take you through all the steps

Mention it was Kevin and Waynes car you saw if ours is the kind of thing you are after.

Yes- the engine has the standard R1 gearbox, this has a propshaft that drives the MNR reverse box. A lever is used to switch the output shaft of the reverse box to run forward or backwards. The output shaft drives the diff.

This setup gives 6 forward gears and 6 reverse gears! High speed runs in reverse are not recommended!

That looks awesome.

Was it built from scratch or did you do it?

The car was fully built at the MNR factory in Harrogate. The entire kit is available from MNR if you want to build it yourself.

The car is back down at MNR at the moment for a full geo and corner weight setup.
I want it back as the weather looks ok!
