Blue Icarian Wings Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Noy sure where the engine lives (at the front I presume), but strip all the body work off, it's excess weight and without you can fit some bigger/deeper wheelsPut the seat in between the wheels either side of the sphine, would give a more relaxed sitting position, it would also lower and center (a bit) the weight, would make a very unique looking car!

whitestarlet Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 hmmmmm?? lol that would be great craic!! lol though a bit sore on the rear tyres!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackTarw Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Looking at the spec on ebay it says it's engine is a engine size is 1295cc, (16 valve EFI), isn't a 4efe engine bigger than that?Would be a cracking Q car though I have seen a suzuki pickup with a hayabusa engine which does 0-60 in just over 3 seconds, looks mental!

scutch0 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 i cant seem to find anywhere where it says about the engine code... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 im sure its a dahatsu engine in them but if you have problems with mounts just use the three cylinder turbo lump out of the gtti!!200bhp is poosible with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulgtt Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Noy sure where the engine lives (at the front I presume) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>yeah there in the front...well actually its underneath you!!have to take both seats out and lift the floor 2 get 2 it. im thinking roughly 150 bhp with fmic and boost controller.then just got 2 put some ballast over back axle...few bags of cement should do the trick.
