Don't know if anyone remembers Lee Manning? Was on here a few years ago? Anyway he posted this link on Facebook to his first track day after rebuilding the engine in his kit car, holy shit that thing goes....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvZtFUJHFV0&feature=feedu
Here's his build thread too if anyone is interested, good read of about 50 pages!!

great fun things, i went for a ride recently in Duncan Calpers Dax Rush Haybusa Turbo approx 350bhp, was mad!
my dream is to get a Haybusa kit car then eventually turbo it.

I think on the video it was running low boost but the maximum the engine has run is around 500bhp I think. Not sure what power it makes on low boost though?
Once my extension goes up and I have a garage I'm seriously tempted to build another one but with a car engine this time instead of a bike engine. Dont think the bike engined cars are very good on the road and after about 100mph they struggle.

That's nuts in something that light, imagine full boost at 500bhp+ mid corner  I suppose that's why it's sideways/facing the wrong way altogether in every other photo 
Did you have one of those MK Indy jobby's, vaguley remember it (and some dodgy 3 wheelers etc)? Di you get rid because of it being gutless over a ton?!

Yeah we built an MK Indy with an R1 engine in it (excuse the wheels on the pic, we just used them to move the car around on) Just wasn't keen on the bike engine in a car, I just dont think the running gear, clutches etc are designed to carry the weight of a car and feed two wheels via a diff! We had trouble with the clutch even after we uprated it and we also smashed third gear a couple of times too. I think next time I might do an NA 2 litre on throttle bodies get it around 200bhp and keep it light!
Yeah had a Robin Reliant briefly too!

Yeah he has a 430 now, he has some vids of track days in that on his youtube page. Yeah after the Corsa he bought a Boxster, think he has had a few nice cars in-between too

Looks OK in the pic but I think if I did it again I would do quite a few things different. Nice little kit for the money though, would probably use MK again as a base for my next one

He wins at life 
Depressing to know that when i joined a corsa site there were just lads and there corsas, however this one lad is now rocking a 430 , he made the right career choice
