If they are all based on the Lotus 7, Why is the MK so much BIGGER than all the others?

My favourite pic - not because it has the love of my life in it, but because it was the first pic taken when I was road - legal!

dunk3 - 1/5/12 at 11:41 AM

Will have a look at stoneleigh and get some ideas if you dont mind. would like to have a go at making one myself.

coozer - 1/5/12 at 01:26 PM

Every time I click on this thread or post a reply I get this box up...

Anybody else? What is it? And, why? And, why only this thread??

Johneturbo - 1/5/12 at 01:34 PM

Very odd i don't get that.

maybe do a virus scan

yellowcab - 1/5/12 at 05:10 PM

Coozer - is it an optical illusion or do you run bigger rear wheels than front?

Talking wheels themselves, I'm aware the tyres are of a different size...

All 13", 186/65 on the front, 205/65 on the back.. may be the camera lens..

yellowcab - 1/5/12 at 07:54 PM

Stunning wheels, are the Caterham r500s? Where'd ya get em from?

theduck - 1/5/12 at 08:20 PM

They are team dynamics pro race 1.2 if I'm not mistaken?

Love the rear arches on the blue raw above!

scutter - 1/5/12 at 08:23 PM

coozer - 1/5/12 at 08:28 PM

Yep they are 13" Team Dynamics pro race 1.2. They do look different to the 15's I had on before in that they have more of a dish and the wheel nuts are not recessed. The centre section is different to the 15" jobs as well.

Got them from MNR last year.

steve m - 1/5/12 at 08:42 PM

And from me, a REAL LOCOST, or do i not count as its not a kit ?

Dopdog - 1/5/12 at 09:12 PM

Graham

PAUL FISHER - 28/8/23 at 07:33 PM

I am still here Graham, although I don�t come on here very much anymore.
Hope you�re well mate, I�ve had a few kits since I posted my last pictures, Westfield 3.9 v8, 2 x marlin 5 exi�s, Ginetta g27, and my latest project is a Mk Sprint R single seater.
What have you been doing Graham since you sold your Indy.?

jacko - 28/8/23 at 07:49 PM

Hi Paul nice to hear from you .
It�s a longtime since I sold my car but keep in touch with who bought it .
I�m 67 now so retired and not much car related stuff
We got a German shepherd dog last year so that keeps us busy walking etc
I�m thinking about a camper van so we can take the dog
Good luck with the cars
Graham
