Not mine but i thought it may be good for some one on here maybe. No resere but does not come with engine but the guy is offering to fit your own bike engine in it.

Needs ballast in the front to weigh it down a bit. Sits too high!!

Beast though. Would love to see the gary's here it i rocked up with that.

I'm a little sceptical of how good it would be to be honest.
A lot more weight than ur average BEC (space frame mini/kit car etc), with the little torque a BE provides, i think it may struggle to get much BHP and/or ft/lb per tonne.
Apart from being a laugh in the wet it would be far from 'wow' quick.

Well its certain to be a hell of a lot faster than it was!

you'd be suprised how fast a standard vts is! Would have to be fairly tuned BE to make all that effort worth while.

I still wouldnt mind taking it for a spin mind you.

Totally agree, they aren't exactly the lightest cars in standard form (over 900kg) and that one doesn't look particularly stripped out. I wouldn't be surprised it it was still well over 700kg with the bike engine fitted.

Anyone else notice the tumble drier vent pipes for the airbox feed?
