Progress pics
After trying to decide for ages what I really want to do with this car, I started work...
Stripped off the body and all the random bits of pipe and wire cable tied all over the place...
Nice brakes in need of some elbow grease!
Then dropped the engine in to see if it will fit....It does, just!
Need to figure out how best to mount it, and how best to brace the chassis to take the loads....
My only slight concern is wether the diff is suitable.....Its approximatley 2.25 turns on the input for one revolution of the wheels.....
Running a ZX9R with 15" wheels....is this going to cause me problems?

looks similar to what i was building, except mine is a 1.5 seater with a cage.
diff sounds too long, unless only one output was turning, in which case its too short!

moment

Do you know what those front calipers are from? I assume a fairly large bike.

This is it with body:
Needs quite a bit of work to make it really worthy of that engine though
