Hi to everyone. Ordered a MNR Vortx R1 this week after being to meet them. Very impressed with the car and the setup/service. I`ve gone for the R1 engine setup, orange panels with black inserts all round, full cage, etc.. Looks like a 6 week wait at the minute.. can`t wait. Just need to tidy the garage now.
If anyone is in the Lancashire area and building similar, I`d love to hear from you and maybe come over and have a look if possible.
I`ll try and keep updates coming as and when I get sorted.

Cheers,

Duncan

Sweet very good choice (not that im biased) youll never be dissapointed with the service from Mark and Chris. Its a good feeling when it arrives

Oh and any problems this is by far the best place to get them solved

hi Duncan, good choices, hope you enjoy your build!

Not another orange one! What chassis have you gone for RT, RT inboard, RT+? and what R1 lump? Welcome and good luck with the build.
Adam

someone say orange?

Nice choice of kit, great service and products.

welcome to the madhouse you will get loads of help from here everyone is etremely helpful, knowledgable, and most willing to get there hands dirty to help out, im in accrington in lancs
the build is in blackburn) although it isnt an MNR its a locost but im willing to help if your close enough, where abouts are you?

good luck with the build

Welcome, I see you have made the best choice, again not that I'm biased just based on the excellent customer service you get from Chris & Marc.

If you check my blog just make sure you do it properly first time, unlike myself

Steve

Welcome, hope we can all meet up in the future.

Hi Duncan

Good choice.
And the right colour too

You're welcome to come over and look at mine - it's quite well on in the build now.

Hi Duncan,

Good choice of car

I'm not anywhere near you but there are lots of pic's in my archive. There are also some really good build blogs some other members have done so plenty of info available.

6 weeks is not that long to wait. I had to wait 2 1/2 months when they were extremely busy last year, it was hell! well worth the wait though.

Good luck with the build.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I know orange is a bit predictable but my other choice was red.. just as popular I think! I had toyed with a colour changer on a website for sometime but couldn`t find anything that suited the car better in my opinion. The car will be built in Chorley, Lancs. I have opted for the RT Inboard with polybushes as I was advised this is suitable for my requirements... mainly blasts on the road on nice days with approx 4 - 6 trackdays per year. I had originally opted for just the removable door bars but after taking my pal up to MNR when dropping off the deposit he talked me into the full cage!!
As for the engine, I have gone for the 2006 R1 which I am told has about 20bhp over the earlier type. Can`t wait to get the kit.. just a small matter of finding the rest of the money now..

sell the wife and kids worked for me and the house is a lot tidier as well

Good choice of car.

All the best agriv8

Hey Duncan,

Welcome and very good choice!

Clive.

Thanks again to everyone for the warm welcome.
BTW, has anyone any experience of the 2006 R1 engine and its power & delivery compared to that of an earlier engine?

Hi Duncan,

Congrats! I am not biased either... Picking up my kit (RT inboard in orange + 2005 R1) in about two weeks time, so I might see your chassis being built when I am there!

I would say come and have a look at my future build, but driving 2000km one way is maybe a tad too much I think...
Good luck with the build!
