Not my cup of tea TBH - looks like a 7 that's been rear ended by a Cobra

I like that. Bit of fettling and you could have a nice slightly unusual car.

The snake was in my early shortlist years ago before the striker was finally chosen. At first i liked the cobra rear end but then realised it didnt quite look right when taken as one car. On a cobra, yes, but on what is a fairly standard looking 7 from every other angle ot looked odd.

I thought the blue one looked OK, but the black / carbon fibre one looks like its made from melted wheelie bins.....

It's an Andy Bates, AB Arion body on a Striker/AB performance chassis

last one of those i saw in the flesh was at jigtec in dudley.

Well im probably going to view it tommoro

I have had experience with that engine in my drag bike, but how do they fair in kit cars?

I know they are strong and reliable, and the zzr being a heavy bike, the clutch might be better than others..

Kawasaki clutches are very strong. This is a plate from the ZX9R fitted to my MK, they were all like this!
I never had any clutch slip, and did another 1000miles with these plates back in

Seeing as there is so little about these online.

Has anyone got any idea how the chassis compares to other 7 types, in terms of weight/rigidity?

Are we talking comparable to a Robin hood or MkIndy/Tiger .

I couldn't make it this morning to view, although i found out it doesn't have reverse.. Despite having IVa/MOT.

Am i right in thinking this was only a requirement recently? This was IVA'd in 2005 i believe.
