![]() Extreme Veteran Posts: 592 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: kent | 10.5k, it's only 125bhp and something like 70 torque but the cars 500kg Only opted for this engine because of the sound they make, nice v2 sound ![]() | ||

![]() Extreme Veteran Posts: 592 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: kent | more done to the kitten, prop is now done! at last, the adapter I made was wonky so I had my mate build one...what was also wonky so we just welded the thing together bodys back on, wiring is kinda done, just needs the body loom connecting to the bike loom...but I drove it!!!! out the unit and back in and loved it! clutch feels nice and springy so should get some nice 1/4 starts only problem was the gearlever wasn't man enough so a little bit of 5mm plate sorted that tomorrow ill attempt to plumb the brakes up and finish the wiring then go find a roundabout ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

![]() Extreme Veteran Posts: 592 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: kent | today I tided the loose wires up and finished plumbing in the brakes, also welded a cage around the prop tunnel just incase the prop decides to fall off managed to get a quick drive in it, only was able to take it upto 3rd but felt pretty mental =P ![]() ![]() | ||

![]() Extreme Veteran Posts: 592 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: kent | made a adapter for the air box today, also the clutch slave cylinder has a crack in it and the gearlinkage is naff so ordered parts to replace the both also had to fit a bigger rad as the reliant one was blocked so fitted the rad off my old kit car on, works a treat ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
