I'm building a zx9r engined car hence my screen name. Would love to have a go in one to see what they go like, mine should be finished in the next couple of months though, fingers crossed

Not as expensive to build as you may think, the big expense is not the engine itself (you can get them for about £400), it's the reverse box and the exhaust manifold (about £1000 in total). Baffle plate cost me £30 and a local engineering firm shortened the sump for £50.

Im building it to replace my ZX6R ninja bike, So revs and manic power delivery are what im after
