Your humble opinions!
Morning all, Im in the position of buying another kit. First was a part build I bought cheap, SVA'd, thrashed, big big grins etc etc.
This time it will be my first from scratch. I went to the Detling show yesterday and was really impressed with the guys at MNR and the kit looked very
'sorted'.
Im after a longer distance tourer rather than an ear bleeding bike engine and looked at the Mazda. Plenty of spares, decent power...
Can I ask your views, why did you choose MNR, any issues ......
Thanks in advance

Arent they a little pricey. I agree they are a very good kit but almost becoming a mass production car now

Have a chat with cerbera on here.
He has just bought my Zetec MNR and is changing it for touring so is going through the same thing as you.
The Mazda based MNR looks good and they make a windscreen so it would be just a matter of getting a hood made, maybe speak to soff bits for sevens.

I quite like the MNR, only thing that puts me off is the nose cone, looks like they took the pattern off of a Fordson tractor.

You don't have to have the race nose, I think you can still ask for the traditional type.

If I was building a MX5 based Seven,I would be building one of these, l think its better quality, better looking than the MNR,and cheaper,a real trick
bit of kit,well worth a look if your in the market for that type of kit

MNR, Westfield (Keep prices, maybe consider a rebuild) or road runner as Paul has said are all ideal i would have thought!

I personally think the MNR's are very track focused but I am sure anyone with imagination can turn it into a tourer but i would add a bit more
into your budget. i cannot imagine the list of potential issues of getting a screen, working wipers/washers,heaters etc in if your considering all
that.

MNR will make you a race nose cone with no bars per my avatar (look left).
I bought the MNR because of the quality of the chassis, streets ahead of any other I have seen, and all round tube, not a square tube in sight!

MNR will give you peace of mind when you are in trouble - very good customer care.
Also the quality of their stuff is quite good and evolving - they didn't stop in time.
My second kit's chassis  was quite different from the first one.

I wouldnt buy an MNR as a tourer. one thing ive noticed driving mine is that due to the shape of the scuttle area your outside arm sticks out quite a
bit, and your hand can get Very cold/numb
On most of the other 7'esque variants the scuttle is more of a squarer profile compared to the VortX so you outside arm gets more protection
from the wind

busakid has a point. You can't compare deluxe prices from one company with another. Some companies deluxe kit offers chassis and bodywork, some
companies offer that + fuel tank + brake lines + wiring + lots of bits like that which do make a difference!
