Lynx:
advantages:
direct bolt in cradle so you can keep your suspension aligned etc. , easy engine and clutch access, race proven (lynx miglia racer), cooling issues solved properly, diff sealed well, good ground clearance, exhaust design best possible for bec
disadvantages:
lots little stuff to modify and little parts which needed to be bought separately (not huge costs but very time consuming and pita), very short chain=life and no cover so surroundings gets fast covered in grease (main issue of this kit), torques steer as right drive shaft will be shortened , electric reverse can be a problem if you need a FIA papers (in switzerland no electric reverse allowed)
Promotive:
pro: all included in the kit, easy to mount, long chain life for a bec/possibility of a belt drive, mechanical reverse (FIA rules!), engine low mounted (pure race too this is good), original drive shafts usable
negative:
exhaust design costs hp, low ground clearance, diff leaking (main issue of the kit, don't understand why this is not solved/redesigned as kit is for nearly 10 years on the market), cooling issues on track (can be solved), clutch and engine access is difficult (needs a full taking apart)
knight motorsport (not much experience with it, so I don't now the main issues)
pro:
bang for bucks with optional turbo conversion, torque steer solved, modern proper front alignment possible
negative:
clubman front, short chain=life, otherwise not much info on it/homepage shows under construction since month (maybe a cause of Waynes bad car accident)
all kits above R1 engine is cheap, easy to get and reliable. definitely chose the 5pw injection engine (use search function why)
Vetech:
interesting, saw it first time but seams very expensive. for a premium build for 20-30k yes but otherwise if busa wanted then z-car.
