graeme, lifes too short to spend building cars properly so im going to lash them up with whatevers lying round, im more exited about this one than
the kitten ! i do fully expect the reliant diff to grenade itself pretty quickly but with a few blobs of weld in the diff and i reckon im on for a
four second 0-60.

Seems like a good way to experience terminal understeer. Won't the diff explode when you first dump the clutch??

once the body goes back on il build a cage and im under no illusions about the handling but in a straight line it should be ok. i know from
experience that the pig axle will take 100hp and if i dont launch at full chat it will last a few thousand milesbefore the pinion bearings give up

Speaking from experience, I have raced these plaggy pigs on the short ovals, they are easier too roll than a snow man down hill........
Your mad, barking mad.
Surprisingly quick as they are, god knows what it will be like with that motor,,,,,,,
Mad, barking mad, like it though.......

Froggy,
Your test station........does it test for sanity?
The 3 wheeler will upset Chavs better than that BEC Smart Car that we've all seen on video clips!! are you fitting Wheelie Bars to stop it
turning turtle on the first launch??
awesome

Eh? Hang on a minute, isnt a kitten a 4 wheel model?
Surely that is a regal or robin?
