James thanks for the info about changing my sprocket to a 13T.
I only took the MotaLeira out around the streets where I live because of the weather, but the transformation in getting the power down in a more
useable way is amazing!
I don't have to rev it high to pull away
Thanks again!
Martin 
My set up now:
205/50/15 Toyo T1R tyres
52 tooth rear sprocket
13 tooth front drive sprocket

You should ride one of those 'gutless' Ducati 999's one day with 40 hp less then you might understand.
It's coming....

Ah good stuff, it was probably somewhat less dusty! I assume it'll be the july one - as the article they wrote for the June issue was
completed a few weeks ago...

Cheers

Thanks Brian, a BEC is quite a different animal, both in positive and negative ways - just make sure it suits...

Looks great!
Have you got the rear wheels standing straight up at rest? Maybe a little rear camber would be beneficial?
Cheers

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

James that looks awesome on the track though maybe not the best time of year. At least it was dry. Would be wicked to do a track day in the summer
with the r4 and the MK Indy. Maybe rockingham?

hi, I don't post here often so please excuse me if you already answered this question. I want first to make you huge compliments for the car.
Now questions:
I see it's bec and mid engine and I see how much is "tail happy" on corners, so I see it's very demanding when driving fast...
Have you got a chance to "race" against other fast becs in same tracks? I'm asking because I want to know if all the involvement
needed to drive this car fast really pays in laptime or if a fury same engine 470kg would nearly as fast as that for a mid experience driver.
How is weight distribution?
I'll build a BEC and I'm struggling between something MID or a Fury Fisher (front engine, RWD).
cheers,
Roberto.

It is significantly faster than similarly powered cars on the sprints i've taken it to, and i'm not the best driver in the world! So yes,
the mid engine'd layout seems to pay off when going balls out...
Weight distributon is about 65/35, which works better than you'd think - the front is extremely 'pointy'
Depends what you are after really, on the road you'll go just as quickly with a "normal" layout...

Just thought i'd post some pictures of my new improved v2 homemade electronic gear shift controller TM!
The old one only supported upshifts, with a single cut duration set by a variable resistor - this has several drawbacks!
Features:
Downshift Blip Control
Safety lockout if a downshift would over-rev engine
Secondary upshift cut duration for cruising (activated when engine below a configrable rpm)
Digital adjustment of durations in 5ms steps
Blip lockout at idle rpm (stops the reving at the lights when block shifting to neutral)
Semi automatic mode - automatically shift up at certain rpm
Pushbutton programming via LCD
Maybe went a little overboard with the code (~500lines!) but I think it covers everything and more the commercial flatshifter/trickshifter type things
support
Just hope it works as well on the track as I hope!

James,
Why no updates? I know you are putting in a new engine. Go on, share the story.

The turbo engine isn't for this car - I've started building something else I've come up with I'll be making that one
available for sale as a turnkey car next year hopefully!
