Bike Engined Car Owners - Any around Glasgow
Discussion
Before you make your mind up about a BEC you need to think about what you are going to use the car for.
If you are used to driving a bike then you will adapt to a BEC quickly.
If it's for track/race days then they are ideal, fast acceleration and light.
If it's for normal driving/touring, going long distances to shows then, as I found out
the noise of the bike engine screaming at high revs quickly becomes very annoying and painful..

airforceone is correct, I own a Wide Body Westfield with a 1300 Hayabusa engine, but mine spends most of its time on slicks and never used on the road. Outstanding track car for the money, just back from 2 days at the Ring which given a top speed af around 120 mph (V-box) performed very well.
Ye used to bikes so not completely blind but appreciate it's a very different package.
The car will be 75% track although I would intend to drive to/from. Will occasionally be used on the road but will have a bike as well so realise the days I would want to use car would likely be same days I'd use bike!
The one thing I struggle to get my head around is how quick the car engined and bike engined vehicles will FEEL..... lightest car I've had is an s2 exige with the toyota vvtli 190 engine.... Can't get a sense of how similar power in a 5-kg car will actually feel....

If its mainly track use go for the bike engine.
nothing gets close to the noise and a six speed sequencial shift on max attack
My Busa powered Raptor is very managable on the road also. Here is a short clip I post in another thread up the Breich hills
