"Car" is stretching a popint, don't you think?
Apparently they are more unstable than an unstable thing in Unstable City and whacking a bike engine in there wouldn't help. Some people have
converted them to four wheelershere which might be a bit better

Plan that keeps forming in the back of my mind is as above, covert to two front wheels and stick the engine out of my puma at the back.

I need to start a new next sring - just keep getting two many new ideas.

nobody saw the 450hp busa turbo one at autosport last year then!!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Chap at college had one to many years ago to think about, the brakes were appalling!
To sort this for emergencies he had a brilliant idea, weld a braket inside with a rod that will stick into the ground to stop it.
When he tried it out at around 30 the car span around in circles leaving a gash in the road..... and very smelly pants.

They weren't that bad for 3 wheelers, better than the Robins they were based on anyway!
The 4 wheel ones are not conversions either; the Webster Motor Company acquired some original moulds and adapted them for a 4 wheels design which was
made in the early 90's. I believe they used a mini front subframe.
