Bike Engined ??

[TooTall Paul]

Does anybody think this would work in a Cerb ??">www.totalkitcar.com/tested.php#781

Would work...
but... Naaa... toooo heavy....

[TooTall Paul]

What does it weigh with out engine and box

[SXS]

engine weighed in at 135kg (with oil) - and the box weighs in at 40kg I believe...

[SXS]

So roughly - take the box and engine away, and you still have a car that weighs 1000kg+...

I would think the car weight should be around 600-700kg, or maybe less, kit-cars not something I know much about... but I'm pretty sure, you need around 500kg stock weight to bang in a turbo'd hayabusa block to notice anything special....
more weight you have, the more torque you need...

Prefer one of these to pop to the shops in.

A lot of bike engined cars seem to be around the 450 kg mark plus or minus.

Have a look at this for something interesting. I was having a look at his website last night. You can buy the kit for around 20 grand or so.

Been looking into this bike engined thing and theres a bond bug going around with a busa turbo in it 300 hp ( with only three wheels) now that has to be scary

My mate is currently in the process of building a caterhammy style thingy with a fire blade engine in it. I tested the demo one - never ever ever been round roundabouts so fast! and the scream at 12'000 revs...quite intense. Hard to judge actually how quick they are....quick to 60 no doubt..30mph feels fast though

Scary - go-kart with hayabusa engine strapped to the back and a massive bottle of NOS next to the right leg!!! didnt test drive that!
