@@lewsdirtbikedays thanks man... It was my second time and had a bit more confidence... Will keep in touch in the new year to organise a ride together up that way with you.

@@DavidsEd30 it is worth it in my opinion if you like a firm notch shift and get rid of the stock floppy feeling. This being said its a bastard to fit 😂. Love mine though

@ yeah I’ve heard they are a nightmare to fit, yeah I agree the standard feels abit slopppy

@@alextrimal thanks mate. It was a lot steeper than the camera does it justice and the wet conditions made my tyres dance like on ice. I'm glad I did 😀

@@charlesfraser2831 not long till you have a little peak my friend

@@ArchimedeanEye I actually didn't mind them 😃

Yes just about, I might have trimmed a bit of a section underneath the console which you can't see. Can't remember for sure but... On the top it looks the same.

@@aleks_the_Great13 Appreciate it, thank you 🤝

Yes

@@konstantinmoraglis5300 the engine of the life and gearbox is heavily dependent on how much track time it sees and how hard you drive it. I've heard people rebuilding the engine after 3 years and an average of 18 track days a year which is a lot... Slow trafic can be a pain and it is a bit difficult in 1st gear but you get used to it. If I'd do it again I would buy a k20 mk indy with an aggressive 280 bhp engine and lightweight build. Also remember these cars are best build by yourself then you know where things are and how they have been build.

@@aleks_the_Great13 Hi there, thanks for the info. I am a biker too, I guess it helps to get use to this setup. The sequential gearbox, the lightness of the engine screeming up to 11k is adictive...I heard the Duratec R is a good performance engine. All the best

It is a comfortable car, but you have to treat is a motorbike with 4 wheels as it does require a bit more attention than a regular sofa on 4 wheels.

@@aleks_the_Great13 my post was tongue in cheek 😉

@@itzmugzy1918 awesome machines I agree. Just make sure you build it yourself 👌🏼

@@tankslapmoto9999 thanks man... Still making parts for the big girl😀

@@Mark_B544 no mate I've gone for the adventure spirit in me and will be receiving a ktm 1090 adventure r 🫣🤯👌🏼

Mild steel tubular chassy, have a look at mk Sportcars website!

Where there is no speed limit and all rules are permitted 😅

@@aleks_the_Great13 🤣🤣👌👍 sounds like my area

@@steverabbits has been an amazing car to drive but for me the experience has been ruined by the reliability and the fact that I haven't built it myself... So to get answers of where everything is and not have the confidence to repair due to lack of information forced me to sell it and move to a normal car now.. 😀 I do enjoy the mk5 gti edition 30 that I've built with 380 bhp and it lapped quicker at Snetterton than the kit car... Well pleased with it.

I bought it second hand from a guy with 2400 miles, paid £6800.

Thanks for the considered comment, I will take it easier 😬👍🏼

I've never taken it off road and probably won't. It's an ideal bike for small lanes, like it a lot 🤩

😂😂 hope not

Thanks, I am struggling with the audio setup at the moment but I will get there. It's a rade garage twin air intake 🤩. Sounds really good and with the power comander it's really pulling hard.

Cheers pal i’ll take a look,i’ve just subscribed keep those smcr videos coming 👍🏻

Will do. Thanks for the subscription

Yes long time ago 😬.

@@aleks_the_Great13 oh shoot, I had no idea. I've got 20k miles on mine but, nice KTM!

It's quick enough as it is... Once you have a turbo on it it's to much in my opinion 😋

Thanks, I appreciate it... I'm 6.4 and you can fit fairly well inside the car as long as you are not massively overweight I would say 😀... If you attempt to build one and do most work yourself then I say yes go for it... If you want to buy one like me then no.. Reason for that is that MK are very poor at providing you manual or even briefing of where things are, fuse box diagram, fuel pump, etc... It's a very nice and fast car but their after care for customers is average to be fair and it was a very frustrating experience for me as the car broke so many times on track and off track.. That's why I sold it and moved on. But I suspect if you know what parts are being put in and how to repair them it might be different... Just know that there is always something going wrong with them 😀...hope this helps

I can't remember on this video but now I use some rode directional microphones in the golf, one under the hood and one close to the exhaust. With a zoom h5n audio recorder. Then mix them in post edit and it sounds really nice. Check my last video with the golf at Snetterton it does sound good... 🤩

I only have amazing things to say about area spec suspension... Although I went for verkline arms and hard race rears etc to achieve the camber and toe, the Coilovers are from a different world... I have them on full soft on the road and they are really amazing... On track I've used them to their suggested setup and they perform fantastic... Over the curbs and the damping is just amazing. The car oversteer is controlled and does not understeer unless you are over heating the front tyres... For me it's the best handling car I've owned and it's confidence inspiring... I would buy them again 100 percent. What power and brakes you running?

I thought that would be the case lol, looks like I’ll be dropping 3.5k on some then! Currently same as you, Rtech stage 2+, ex BTCC front brakes, gripper diff, ABS motorsport wide arch kit with 18x10j TCR wheels on AR1’s. Got Avo dampers on at the moment which are okay but definitely want to upgrade. I also have front TT hubs, arms, driveshafts and rack. Gives more roll centre but do want some verkline arms really. Rear is all hardrace arms with spherical bearings.

@robertjeakins3696 verkline will give you the feel through the steering wheel for what the front is doing as well. Which is agreat... Go for it and then let's track the cars together 😃... I'm looking to dip below 2.10 at Snetterton... My front wings will be fitted soon 🙃

Well I’ve had a chat with Area today and think I’m going to go for them, thanks for the advice. Snet is my local so will be up there testing as soon as I’ve finished mine off, deffo up for getting on track with you. Last time I was there I went 2:14 but the car was a lot more standard then, like you hoping to get below 2:10. What spring rates did you go for by the way bud?

@@robertjeakins3696 glad to hear you are local and we could have a track day together... The spring rates are the same as on their race car acording to Rob... Mk7 race car. I went with them and don't regret it because I wanted it to be as close to their setup as I can without the aero... Need to get the front arches installed and pained and then hope for a nice warm day at Snetterton... 😬

😂😂... Nostalgic memories from the past days.. The gti is a bit quicker 😁... Paul is that you?

It's me 😁 Good for you for keeping the passion alive, nice track setup you got there.

@scooterrrt thanks 😬, whitout the passion I wouldn't be mentally healthy 😅

Enjoy buddy 😉
