I know these Have been done but im looking at my corsa from outside the window thinking about what i could do with it appart from drive it and be bored in it.

Does anybody know about throwing bike engines into tin tops? Ive seen there are plenty of mid engine mejobbys chain driven to a dif for when you have the engine in sideways but has anyone put one in the front of a car?

Yep Ford did it. The Ka and the Fiesta with the 1250 engine. This unit is/was a japanese motor bike engine originally.

I think someone has done a saxo / 106 kit too from memory.

Just drive it in reverse

Leave the corsa bog standard and graft a 2lt cavalier motor in there,

There was a VW Derby (i think) in one of the mags, think it was PPC with a bike engine at the front driving the rear wheels. And a Mini in the same mag driving the front wheels via a chain driven diff.

I want to RWD a Saxo for my next project and thinking of a bike engine for it. There's aguy on the Saxo forum doing it, sure he post's here as well.

Get a small light hot hatch and install teh same we do into 7's and you'll have a real giggle machine.

theres a fiesta mk2 on ebay bike engine in the back at the moment

i know its a weird one, would be better off for rwd. in all honesty i dont think id get the weight down enough in the corsa enough to make it really worth while appart from having a hi reving engine.

might look into a 2lt or 1.8t,

CORSAs with bike engines enjoy

I had an experience with a fully chavved Corsa the other evening. I'm quite proud of my 204bhp but he left me behind. We both ended up parking a couple of spaces apart in the retail park car park. It transpired that it was fitted with a C20LET putting out about 240bhp at low boost. Dialing up the boost gives him nearly 300bhp.
