what? lol


if I have read through this string right - you cant drive? what literally cant drive, or legally cant drive?

An R1 powered lightweight track day car is probably not the first or best choice of first car.

You've obviously got more money than many dream of so why not get a lotus exige, or scooby as your first car, get used to the speed and develop the sensible responsibility that high powered car needs before strapping your self to a missile. build the mini on the side and get it as safe as you can otherwise your going to end up as chopped meat on someone elses bonnet real fast.

You're gonna regret that.... builing one means wanting to drive one.....

Good luck on the build....

So rather than make a new topic can we get back on track here.... Haha get it?!

The R1 is the cheaper, more revy engine?
The Hyabusa is more torque and power but heavier by maybe 20kg?
And the GSXR is what? somwhere in between?

please correct me if im wrong or misinformed, then again you might be!!!

Im gonna be using it as a trackday monster and road legal only to drive to tracks and scare people every other weekend... >=)
Screw the V tec for now, im a Caterham driver and the sight of ariel atoms Pi**es me off hehe, bloody honda engines :thumbsup:

Anyway rant over, Comon whos driven both? cut the C**p give me the goods boys!!!!


P.s. im only 12
