Oh my God! What have I done.. Has anyone fitted a Suzuki GSXR1000 to a locost. The car is a rolling shell from the now deceased Locost Ltd and unfortunately I have to finnish it myself. I would be grateful for any advice, Im in Central Scotland, you cant miss me ive got this massive airbox.

well, I can see two problems for a start.

1. your car wont work very well with the engine outside of it.

2. You need a really really really really stupifyingly massive airbox to be noticed.


I suggest you either :

1. Make all your journeys downhill. The weight saving of a no engined car will considerably reduce roling resistance when you have to push it up the other side.

The really really really really big air box, with careful design, could also be used to dispense with the unneccesary weight of the brakes, by using air as a dynmically passive auto arresting pshycohfractulating, action liposome, wrinkle lifting diffuser of the momentum you may have had by coasting down the hill.


On the positive side, if you can point your question more specifically, then we might be able to help you. At the moment, im wondering if you are just on here for the wind-up.

Welcome, and enjoy. Whatever your flavour or size of your air box.

not sure if the action liposomes are essential - can anyone confirm?

Hello...

The guy who recently bought my mate's ZX9R engined Locost also lives in Scotland - Edinburgh I think. Goes by the name of Steve Webster. I could pass on his email addy if you want to contact him - then you'd get to see exactly how everything goes in. Can't be many bike engined Locosts in Scotland.

Good luck

Liam
