What are you all talking about
this as to be Gordon's fault........
I'd be happy to take you out but not that close HG5
Mines a pinto 1.6 so is probably the slowest thing around, apparently...

bike engines are frantic and fast, car engines are more refined they dont scream like a room full of kids will generally be a bit slower in the acceleration stake. But you can chat with your passenger at 70mph. I run a zetec powered one 1.8 the brother in law has a 2 litre zetec pushing 200bhp out and that is very quick its on the sequential box of a bike engine that has the edge over his
austin what exactly is the performance diff between the 200bhp zetec and say a blade or zx10 ?
any one help me please
Iirc they'll both have about the same bhp rating, but the car engine will have more torque and be heavier.
I think that's the crux of the argument with performance
that zx10 i went to have a look had about 150 bhp i think i could be wrong
right the next question is if i got one with the bike engine how much would it cost to put the car engine in it at a later date if need be
If I'm not mistaken the BEC chassis are designed different to take the lighter engines in some manufacturers kits.
Could be wrong.
I think it would be cheaper jst to sell the BEC and buy the CEC if you wanted to change.
or buy one of each?
Check with some insurance companies for quotes, before you decide which way to jump.
Especially if you are a youngster.
It may prove to be the deciding factor, espewcially where a BEC is involved!
They are getting wise to the BEC performance. No longer is it a 1 litre cheap insurance. Its probably as much or more than my V8 Luego.
Again your age will make a big difference.
im 38 and getting it on a parts only insurance
