Hi,

Well, just sold my Beach buggy that i had spent last year building, not really driven that much, bit of a shame to see her go, but i have decided i want to get into track days, and have something with a bit more power behind it!

Anyway, Going to look at a Fisher Fury on the weekend, hoping to buy. Just looking for some advice from those of you who already own a bike enggined car.
Its a Fireblade engine, on carbs.
what to look out for then? I guess the bike engines suffer in a car a bit more than they do in the bike, heavy etc.. does the gearbox take a pounding? clutch?

I know what to look for when buying a car.. but these engines are pretty new to me.

Thanks
