Exobusa or Mevabusa
Hi,
Currently having a Superseven but thinking about building an Exobusa. Anyone here with experience from building an Exobusa/Mevabusa or Exoblade?

Not sure how much help this will be, but...
I did start to build a mevabusa some four years ago. Unfortunatly I had to sell it part built (75%).
Nothing to do with the kit, just my own cicumstances.
Ive had afew diffent kits, westfields, mk's etc and in terms of build quality/parts fitting it was pretty good. Stilll some fettling but nothing
major. Seemed to go together quite quickly if comparing to seven.
Personally never had any problems with the guys that own the company, were always very helpfull.
Sent you u2u

Yes, built an exobusa kit.
Easy enough to put together and a very light fun car for trackdays.

How much does your car weight with fuel and all fluids?

Last time on the scales it was 439.5kg with all the fluids.
It takes 6 litres of oil, 6 litres of coolant & 20 litres of fuel.
This could be way lighter without the turbo, intercooler & dry sump, ford steering lock,electric reverse + battery and .......

Wow - 439,5 kg!!!! Really lightweight!
In Sweden we´re only allowed to build with power/weight-ratio of 20 kW/100 kg (including driver) so a Hayabusa-engine will be difficult to built with,
but maybe a Fireblade with 154 hp will be possible....
Any pictures from the buildingprocess you can share?

Kinda built one
I built a Triabusa from the same manufacturers.
Not sure if i can do this but here you go, most of the builders of exobusa's hang out here and theres some good build diaries:
http://bike-engined-cars.proboards.com/
The kit/car itself is fantastic. Only issue people seem to have are with the manufacturers and customer services. I live in Nottingham so wasnt bad
for me as when i had a problem i went down to the workshop.

Mmm, 20 kw/100kg is a problem then especially if they go by the engine manufacturers power figures.
An early R1 or blade motor may be your best chance and would still be more than quick enough, though they're a good bit lighter than the busa
motor so would still need a bit of added ballast built into the build.
I have a load of build pics but can't figure how to post them.

An Fireblade engine from a 929 or 954 will provide 150-154 hp according to Honda. 20 kW/100 kg is with driver included. So with a 150-154 hp engine
the total weight including driver (75 kg) have to be approx 570 kg. Could be done....maybe....

So that would need the car to weigh nearly 500kg, good luck with that, maybe a 25mm thick steel floor............
It would be a shame have to add so much weight, unless of course it could be removed once registered.

Exactly, add weight to get it road-legal and then remove it....
There may be new rules for power-weight ration in the near future...
