Does anyone know of a kitcar that has used a Ducati twin successfully? I know there is arguments that it is a stupid idea as it has drawbacks, but I really fancy building a Ducati powered car just because I can. I know the Phoenix has been fitted with a twin in the past amongst others, but has anyone have first hand experience?

That's a shame as I specifically fancied a Ducati for the Italian'ness of it all. I have a feeling after nearly 40,000 miles my R1 surely must be due replacing at some point. ( however it just did a 13.4 1/4 mile at the Brighton Speed Trials on road tyres on Madeira Drive so it is by no means knackered yet ) . Just fancy doing something left-field if I strip it back to a bare chassis.

What are the stats of this TL motor anyway?

I will take a look thanks. Also fancy doing a tiny Sylva R1ot , one of the only cars I can build the chassis in my back garden and carry through my back gate!
