That brake servo is at a perculiar angle. Is that to clear the rad, or is it just the pic?
In the 13's at last!.. Just |

I had a blade engine in the front of my van for ooh.. a week? Loved the idea but the noise and the chain wear put me off. Your minus must be hugely quick though. I really did like the lack of weight in the front. |

I really like the idea of a bike engine in the front. Lightweight, big bhp and reliable. And it should be possible to get it road legal here in Norway if the original subframe are untouched. www.shag.no |

Well took the car out for one last time or so I thought ! always been afraid of giving it the beans in case something breaks but thought f##k it and gave it hell. and shit is it fast and it took the lot, how much would you have to send to get a mini engine to chuck out 160 pony's and the sequential box ! it so quick thought the gears !
