I wouldn't worry. I'd more or less forgotten about that ad. It's been on there for ages with no activity

Very nice looking bit of kit by the way! Did you build it or buy it like that? How does it drive? What diff etc does it use?

Just curious

[minishrimpR1]

No probs Ade, short spec as follows

Yam R1 eng front mount
Spax coilovers rear
Gaz coilovers front
Cosworth brakes
Sierra diff with shortened driveshafts
Custom made prop from Dunning and Fairbank
7 x 13's

I bought it from the guy who built it from the shell up.

It drove initially pretty rough (it made me sweat with every gear change) but took it to a mate who lazer aligned it and now it runs perfectly straight and true.

If you do a search on you tube under fireblade mini at Croft you can see it going round. The fireblade mini is the one following it. I would do a clicky but I aint gotta clue how to do it sorry

Thanks Mark. Damm it your good!!!

That's a cheeky looking machine. I'm assuming its front wheel drive? do you get much torque steer, wheel spin etc?

Hilty

[minishrimpR1]

No Hilty its RWD and runs through a special prop made to order.

No Hilty its RWD and runs through a special prop made to order.

is that a 2005 R1 lump or an earlier version? I'm doing a pro-motive conversion but like a nonce bought a 2005 engine that I have since found wont fit

[minishrimpR1]

The engines a 98/99 carb version roofless

[panelbeaterpeter]

That car is f***ing stunning. Need pics of the drivetrain!

[minishrimpR1]
