Indy to GT
MK9R - 5/12/02 at 01:49 PM

Was going to build an MK Indy with ZX9R engine, but now considering the mid engined option MK GT. Cant make my mind up!

Went over to MK on saturday, first time I have delt with them.
Was like poppin down to your mates, everybody was so friendly. Anyway the GT1 was outside and spent a long time crawling all over it.
Liked everything about it (except for the ali vents screwed on the front wings).Not sure what you get for your 3 1/2k but as cheap as it may look(the price not the car) I will have a completed bec on the road for less!

PS If I could afford one, I'd have one!!

I think www.totalkitcar.com are going to do a build series on it. That car definately needs a rear wing with that large front splitter. I hear it has a bit of a high speed oversteer problem because of the imbalance. However, I wouldn't let that worry you, either cut down the splitter or fit a wing and/or diffuser.

They did have a wing on it when I visited but its "still under development", as they are unhappy with the weight.

I knew they were working on a bunch of things including aero and suspension tweeks. Took a look at the web site and they now show the version with a rollbar and wing.
