This little kit arrived today, looking forward to fitting it, although a little daunted by the prospect, hopefully shouldn’t be too tricky 🤞. It’s an 8 channel version so plenty to play with.

Well I've done around 10k in mine i regularly go into large towns where it behaves just as a normal car i can drop to 30mph in 6th gear no issues no overheating at all i change my oil and filter every 2.5k on road use, plugs in a fireblade won't need regular maintenance 8-10k in the time ive had mine i broke the gear linkage once which was a quick repair and more recently my clutch lifter bearing went again a reasonably cheap job to replace if you can do your own work it's still on the same clutch plates after a total of 12k and I drive it hard the minor repairs I've done are no more than the problems others get with car engines the only drawback if found but your be familiar with being a biker if you do an emergency stop in a higher gear you have to clock all the way back to first sequential gearbox for you.all in all brilliant wouldn't have anything else

Should be good for this👍

Yes would be great with the current weather.. unfortunately I won't be back on track until spring

Its more limitations of extra weight making a bigger difference, more servicing requirements and slightly more suited to track, the car engined car i drove was very easy to drive, all familiar, i had to think a bit more about the bike engine, but not much, i guess this will depend on how the clutch etc has been set up, this car even has a gear indicator, none of my bikes did! Im looking foward to some track time, my road driving will be more for posing!

Not too many limitations i mainly play with superbikes cars often don't get a look in.

Thankyou for the welcome, i will be getting aling to meets if and when i get the car, I have been in a couple of car engined kit cars and a bike engined car, the bike engined car was hands down the better experience for me, It was a fisher fury and i couldnt stop grinning! I tried a 2.0 zetec in a sylva striker and that was entertaining too! A few others, but these two stood out Im coming from bikes so looking for something to fill that gap, im under no illusion of the limitations of a bike engine in a car though! I would consider a cec but know i would always wonder if i should of got the bec.

There are genuine megs coming up for sale now and again have you ever been out in one that would be a good starting point make sure it's what you want not sure if there's any at your monthly meet but I go to battlesbridge 2nd Sunday of the month with mine to the essex/north Kent meet which your more than welcome to attend others do pop up from your area occasionally or if you need any measurements or pics just ask. and welcome to a really great club

Loving your garage wall art.👌

I'll be there. Dark nights and wet weather is all part of the fun 😀

No wonder he's so fast i thought it was because he owned a megablade

All still for sale

Hey, don't dis the carrots 🥕👀👀

I’ll be there all being well. An early finish suits me!!

Last time you said this we got home in the dark and a little damp. Was good though 👍

You should try granola. Lovely.

Well if anyone can do it, you can Dave, hope you have a good day tomorrow and we get to eat a yummy full English at Cupola with you on Sunday morning. Glen says it's the best quality breakfast in the Peak District. 🥕 The carrot emoji is for dangling a carrot to motivate you, not that you get carrots for breakfast 😁🥰

ON. The current plan is that rain is heading our way in the afternoon, weather forecasts are unreliable so we intend on meeting for breakfast and taking it from there. Hopefully we can fit a run in and maybe even a pot of tea and a slice of cake.........said Worzel Gummidge here. As everyone who is coming has well over a 1 hour journey home, we will keep this one short and do our best to get you home dry.

Sorry but not us …… Here’s my list of excuses 1. she’s in bits !!!! Winter maintenance has begun 2. We’re working 🥴 ok I’m turning up 🤪 3. My passport is out of date and it is really far north 🤣 We couldn’t look at Ian with his lovely hair do! Take care guys and have a lovely day we’re not jealous at all Luv Andy & Becky

I have a set in prepreg carbon

Apologies for not getting back to you but found nothing that explains or addresses this. The system is a third party piece of software and we are at their mercy to a large degree.

That all sounds good, i am new to kit cars, so this is all new territory for me, I have done a fair bit with bikes, and ultimately I will build a car, but think I need to scratch this bec itch hopefully it fills the gap a bike leaves!

I'd not fret too much about the Sport 2000 record. When I built and registered my S2000- here's what I put on the registration application paperwork- Here's what DVLA's online checker shows- & the V5 is blank in some of the fields- I guess it all depends how much the DVLA Clerk wanted to type in on the day, perhaps!

Its priced well enough for me to be happy if its been converted, it may well have been built from new with bike engine in with a live axle, just can not figure out why it comes up as sport 2000 on the reg check, but everything else seems all good, it has a quaife reverse box apparently too, I guess a sport 2000 chassis was bought and a bike engine fitted either in build or shortly after, or sport 2000 was filled out on the registration paperwork, ill never know unless I find the original builder!

The tunnel and engine bay design on a genuine bec chassis are abit different with the driverside footwell being noticeable narrower due to how the reverse gearbox was mounted up by westfield and also in the engine bay some of the bracing tubes are missing from the bulkhead to engine bay top chassis rail to allow the fitment of the bec engine cradles . There are some genuine mega bec chassis out there that have a live axle setup and that was normally for people that wanted to save every kg as the live axle is the lighter of the two setups but they were special order only and i've seen 4 or 5 in my time. There is one thing to think about a cec chassis converted to take a bec engine on the selling market never sells aswell as a car with a genuine bec chassis unless the car is something really really special just something to think about if you did want to sell the car .
