As some of you might know this is quite a special KR2, it is the current holder of the fastest 300-500 kg plane in South Africa and is a particular nice sample of the species.
I hope to be flying her real soon, need to get ATF and conversion sorted out.
Yes, she is a project (like all my planes)! She just had an engine upgrade and I am planning more work on her, mostly on the instrument panel and interior but I will only work on her when the weather is too bad to fly
I also want to do some more streamlining on her, I think there is even more speed to be had from her with a few fairings and closing a few gaps 
Below some more information and detailed photos.
The canopy hinges forward and is kept open with a gas strut.

Power is supplied by an engine based on a VW tipe 4. The displacement is 2.4l. The engine has been upgraded with a stronger crank, aluminum pistons
and a Garret turbo charger with an intercooler. The ignition system is dual Slick mags. The fuel is injected via an Ellison throttle body with mixture control, ram-air option and carb heat.
The plane is equipped with 2 electric fuel pumps, the one runs all the time and the other only when needed.
Front view, the fiber glass air ducts can be seen. The prop is currently a P-Prop 54x60 but I am planning on installing a VP prop again. The plane used to have a Hoffman
VP prop but as that prop was only rated for up to 80 hp it was decided to replace it. The engine produces a bit more than 80hp at the moment
The fiber glass spinneris carbon re-enforced with a carbon back-plate.
Garret turbo charger with oil feed. Since the turbo charger sits between the Ellison throttle body and the intercooler it was modified with a carbon seal to prevent the fuel mixing
with the oil. The inter-cooler can just be seen below. Cooling air enters the cowling via a NACA duct below before flowing through the oil cooler and intercooler.
The control stick can be seen above. Also shown is the hydraulic brake cylinder and the fuel transfer pump. This pump, activated by a manual switch, transfers fuel from
the 2 x 50 tanks in the outer wing panels to the 50l tank in the fuselage. In this photo the seats are removed.
The instrument panel, one area I am planning to upgrade. A panel mount radio, EFIS and transponder will be installed.
The only instrument that is not standard is the manifold pressure lower left.
Tail wheel detail, springs provide some shock absorption.
More canopy detail, the space behind the seats can also be seen.
Left side of the engine, also visible is the NACA cockpit fresh air inlet and the fuel filler cap. The firewall is stainless steel.
Yes, she flies, and she flies WELL!!
