i wonder if any of the 659cc turbo engines would fit. its mid engine too! under the seats

Hayabusa Turbo imho

not yet zip, ill see my dad first, dont fancy the slipper! nah it would have to be a daihatsu engine firestar 3x, maybe do a low boost supercharger on whats already in? i could make my own carbon fibre panels too!

 

[Sirrel Squirrel]

Couldn't you be really clever and mount the engine on the flat bed part somehow, now that would be extreme

 

[vanpeebles]

this aint mad max

 

[Firestar_3x]

this aint mad max

But it could be

As for the supercharger idea i don't know how much space you have to play with, but even a small power increase will make a huge diff since it's got no weight to it

GET IT!! Get it and make it into the OCUK mobile!!


i want it

 

[vanpeebles]

i just noticed something wierd actually, its single seater but both doors open, would be strange to be able to get in from either side, and left or right hand drive rules dont really apply

 

[Firestar_3x]

Its like a McLaren F1, but without the image, speed, handling and price, but apart from that its exactly the same.

 

[vanpeebles]

hey i reckon the handling would be ace, mid engine and rwd

 

[roboffer]

That rocks

 

[saitrix]

It can hold more stuff then a McLaren F1! I still say get it, looks a fun to drive car!

I couldnt work out if it was rwd, cause what does FR stand for exactly again? Front engine, rwd?

I wish i had read 2 posts up before making this post.

 

[vanpeebles]

yeah front engine, rwd drive, but its actually mid engine mounted, so MR really

 

[Firestar_3x]

Not that perfect weight distribution is a problem, it will tip over before it starts to slide

 

[vanpeebles]

not much width to those wheels either

 

[saitrix]

Well how about some lowering and find the widest steelies you can fit on it?

 

[vanpeebles]

 

[Firestar_3x]

Guess the Copen is the pace car?

You have sealed your fait now you much buy that green machine!

You sure you got the correct specs? Because vanpeebles said earlier on it was 30.5bhp. The specs you have shown is 180bhp/tonne.
