Thanks guys.

UPDATE : 18/1-2009
Chassis is ready for powdercoat next week.
But wich one.
I have my eyes on these two.
2008 with 2003 178 bhp Busa with zero miles.
http://images.pistonheads.com/aimg/692/692466-1.jpg
and
2006 with 2003 187 bhp ZX12 offered by MNR.
The car will be thoroughly checked at the workshop by MNR before sale.

I thought I was going for the Busa but now I´m not sure.
I wanted to supercharge it later bot that idea is scrapped.
The ZX12 has race roolcage, dry sump and is rosejointed.
Overall just race style wich I like.
Car will only be doing trackdays.
Any input will be appriciated

Depends on the prices. The busa is bullet proof and has 0 MILES where as the zx12 has probably been raced hard.

The Busa has 4000 miles on it.
The car itself is new.
ZX12 is about 1000 cheaper.

I´m a race kinda guy and love high-tech equipment such as drysump and carbon stuff.
Wich is why I like the ZX12 as it has "the race package".

Not strictly true. Still benefits from a dry sump and I have personally mashed two second gears in Autograss cars
(might just be me though!!)

Tought about that as well.
The ZX12 has a upgrade clutch wich would be a weak point ?

If it is going to be a track car, I would go for the car with the full roll cage! It is not safe without!
P.S. great to se another Dane getting a MNR, I have build a RT+ this summer and I can tell you that you will not regret getting one.

+1 on the full rollcage red one for a track only car. It also has the rosejointed suspension, great for track work.
For a road car I would pick the black car - very nice...

hi
my black Busa (the one for sale) is rose jointed on the rear and has fully adjustable camber settings and toe in/out all round
also i thought about a full cage but decided against it as it adds extra weight
plus you get the reliability of a std low millage engine/gearbox that will start when you want it to, which it does, and hasent been driven/raced hard
all its life, it has more than enough power in std tune (trust me) to beat most things out there
i think thats enough of me trying to sell mine lol
cheers

I'd go with the 'busa engined car everytime. Those full cages make the cars look so ugly, I've been racing now for 32 years and have
never come close to rolling a car.

finlays car is a nice car and as you are importing the q reg doesnt matter, a busa car on an 08 plate sold for 15.5k last week
i didnt know finlays was still for sale as it dissapeared off piston heads so presumed it had sold, the zx12 car doesnt have the same cage in the pic
on your link its like the v8 racecar on the web

fair enough
i'd have been happy with either!
on track work the tyres will always give out before the chassis does (unless you are really unlucky or kerb it into something that would flip you)
i'm thinking about a small block chevvy 5.7ltr v8 de-tuned to about 500 bhp for next year but still not sure as it means a lot of changes, diff,
prop, etc................

I think that a heavy engine is quite a long way from Colin Chapmans idea.....
Way too heavy with a 350 cui.
A 7even should only have a small 4 cyl light engine if you ask me.
If your tyres can handle it a supercharger could be added.
