1. Yes, particularly if you do most of your own engine preparation, but possibly the new rules for 2010 may narrow the gap.
2. The extreme is faster, but I have always held the view that its not what it does, but the way that it does it thats important; and the TKM will be a much more agile handling machine and you get to have a two stroke screaming up to 17,000rpm under your elbow-something that Max just doesn't provide.
3. Although I still hanker for the direct drive old-days, realistically if you can afford the TAG then thats the future, and it means that if necessary you can go to meetings on your own without having to find pushers before every race.
4. No, bodywork is a bit of a minefield, but you need to keep up to date with the regulations.
5. Not worth the hassle, if you don't want a TAG or a clutch engine, you should pick up something decent and ready to go for under £600. No manuals as such, but plenty of advice available on this forum for engine DIYers.
6. You're ideally placed to reach Kimbolton, Rye House, & Whilton Mill.
7. All the advice you'll ever need is right here on this forum!
8. As a beginner, the maximum gains will be from practicing (just doing lots of laps and learning how to drive) as opposed to testing, where you experiment with changes to engine and chassis set-up. Once you're within a couple of seconds or say 5% of a winning lap time, then start trying out changes.
