that must be a lot heavier than the Z cars mid engine conversion?? i would have thought the R1 might struggle with four people in as well.

just my 2 penneths worth

I like the look of that. Id like to see what the rear end setup looks like

Mac#1 are making a mini conversion like that.

I do like that, It looks like it could be a lot of fun, For me though I would have made a smaller air box or used a sausage filter and left the bonnet whole.

"i would have thought the R1 might struggle with four people in as well"

I think the Yam's 150BHP might cope better than the original BMC850's 32BHP! Tho' you might need low gearing or a bit of clutch slip to get it away cleanly.

More piccies on the ebay ad. Angle of the driveshafts and the road to exhaust clearance look a bit worrying.

The back of the car is jacked up for the photo, this is what it's like normally, although I agree about the exhaust
