Whacky Dreams

Hmmn, got a copy of last month's (mail from Britain-Canada is slow) Race Tech and Practical Classics this week.

Race Tech had a nice feature on a Formula SAE car with a snazzy looking chain drive Quaife setup with single, diff-mount, disk brake.

PC had one on the Fiat 500 - slow, cute, all up weight around 400 kilos.

'Busa anyone?

Looks like a do-able combination, lose/box-in the backseat of the 500, cut a few more cooling louvers and mount the rad & fans on the inner face of the engine cover similar to Porche's wing mount intercoolers.

Bit of fiddling with the suspension, fit some suitable brakes, Mini sized performance tires and go out hunting Mustangs.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year everyone -- off to take my pill

Cheers, Ted

It's already been done (may not actually be a Busa motor, but a bike motor of some sort), I can't find my book mark for it, but googling it should turn something up.
