vehicle description:

Hi and welcome to the sale of my zx12r engined project Copen. Where do I start? This project Copen has been built by myself to a very high standard, the engine is spot on and came out of my zx12r, it was running about 175 bhp ,it was a serious weapon and not for the faint hearted. The Copen is front wheel drive running a purpose built diff built by moggsie at west wales trike shack.  It"s got 6 speed sequential box,the discs and pads have been uprated, its got brand new proxy TR1 tyres on a nearly new set of be-bomb alloys,a one of custom built exhaust using the aftermarket rear silencer from the bike, it sounds great! All the bike clocks are mounted in the car, everything works as it did on the bike all the wiring has been done by a auto electrician, so it"s all good. As you can see on the pics I"ve had some body work done as it had some rust on the rear arch so now it  looks very presentable. I built this car with the intention of running it on the road hence why all the lights are still in place, it could have a m.o.t on it very easy as all lights brake etc are all good! Or just use it as a track day car? The car has no reverse!! But it weighs nothing, the standard weight of a Copen is about 750kg the engine and box I took out weighed 150 kg and the zx12 motor weights 75kg also the wheels are 10 kg lighter than the original Copen ones thus saving another 40 kg but more weight could be shed by loosing lights ,changing seats and removing motor parts from roof I estimate you could bring the weight down to the 550kg mark? Making this a very light fast one off car! As with all project cars there are bits to be done I will list what I think needs doing below! 
Jobs to be done.
New chain to be made as I"ve lined up diff and sprockets with a heavy duty chain with a split link. I personally would not trust it!  
Fit fuel gauge (not supplied) wire up indicator lights inside and high beam light! (In dash) if putting on road? 
Just a really good check over before driving! As with all projects there maybe a few other bits and bobs I"ve missed but I"ve listed what I can think of. 
Play around with gearing by changing front sprocket to get it right it"s running a 42 and a 14 at mo. May need gearing up or down? I drove the car up and down the back of my workshop changing from 1st to 2nd and runs well but haven"t drove any distance! I will add more pics tomorrow and any other information any Q"s give me a shout!!! Please please no TIMEWASTERS!!!!!!! Can"t be bothered with it if you haven"t got any money bugger off and waste someone else"s time! If you are a serious buyer I"m all ears come have a look and a chat and I will even pop the kettle on! I"m a massive petrol head and the only reason for sale is I fancy a change! So I will not deal on TRACK CAR,CLASSIC CAR, SUPER BIKE!!! try me! Just to add this car is a one off and stands me in a few quid so please don"t offer me a £100 pound and you mums cat as i won"t even respond! Happy bidding any Q"s give me a shout.
Can deliver this car anywhere for  £1.25 a mile thanks.
