Extreme makeover of an MK Indy
kitcarcollection - 18/8/11 at 06:08 PM


I have created a perfect weight divided MK Indy by putting in a Toyota 3sge Beams Blacktop engine in it with a 6 spd gearbox,

shifted the engine almost a meter backwards and as much to the left as possible.
with that setup and the driver I have a perfect 50/50 left/right divided weight and more traction on the rear.
Unfort. not much room for a passenger left as the engine is partly in the foot compartment
I have been racing this car now in Holland. It was fireblade powered before.

210bhp , 7800rpm, titanium valves and proven to be very reliable.

Here you can read the story with pictures and a few movies, maybe you can use google translate as I wrote all in dutch.

A local friend of our ATHOIRS has put the bike engine in the passenger compartment see fullflapsdown on you tube ....

are you sure the builder couldn't get the engine in the passenger seat?
