Dick Longbridge Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Cap doffed to the chap who built it. Garden shed engineer and it actually looks really well put together. Immaculate build, in fact. That's a lot of fun for a smidge over £2.5k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMotor Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Going to give that a watch! But sounds like a better idea than shoving in a ReidChap. Just because it'll not be either reeking or leaking it's engine oil everywhere! *A good C20XE powered B is actually a very surprisingly quick little car!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yes oui si Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Local car! Bike engines in kit cars are ridiculous... Bike engines in hatchbacks are an awful lot of effort for a lot of noise and a smaller power-to-weight ratio than a decent car engine swap.

Really respect the work that's gone into it, but I think I'd still have a saab lump. BlankFrank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A redtop vauxhall engine or B204 would drop right in (with some slight reprofileing of the chassis leg). Cracking great project none-the-less, the bike engine must weigh a hell of a lot less than any VX/SAAB engine so that combined with the plastic windows must make it fun to drive and better around corners than the traditional swap. Edit: I misheard F15 as F40 diff, ignore the driveshaft waffle. yes oui si 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
