Hi
i want to get my car on some rollers
Does anyone know anywhere i can go as im not after just a power figure but a set up(so they need to know about bikes aswell).
Im from Bristol area and don't want to have to travel 100s of miles.
I got a 2003 r1 in the front. Home built setup.

Any ideas i could follow up would be good as im not coming up with much fom my searches so far..

Cheers all

You might have more luck posting this on one of the kit car forums, such as Locustbuilders, or maybe on pistonheads.... Its the kit car boys that mostly want to put BEC's on chassis rolls.

Be interesting to see a few pictures of your car.

I like the grill modification

[G-baby158]

I'm sorry but what the hell have you done to the front of that? Looks to me like its really bodged. Why didn't you just but a F/G extended front? Or not even that cut and re-welded the exhaust so it's tight up against the block?

In my eyes, as long as it works, it doesn't have to look pretty!

Maybe that's a job for later, the important thing is it's working and can be used, people can criticise but rarely could they even attempt the conversion themselves

It was a case of get it in there get it working and then do the body work.
I’m going to be making a new grill so the current one will go.
The bulge in the front bumper will be evenly flushed across the front.
With the exhaust I kept it as standard as poss to help flow. The pipes match the length of standard ones.
It on the road alright!!!!

And bodged or not . it's reliable fast as hell, survived castle Combe. and passes an MOT. 55mph in first -5 seconds 0-60.
It has done 114mph with a slipping clutch but now has a Barnet clutch fitted !! not done a new speed run yet.

Complain all you want I love it..... And that all that counts….
