bike engined mini

Postby gringo » Fri Apr 28, 2006 9:42 pm

just checked out a site called zcars.com where they convert an old school mini into a rear wheel drive with a 1300 turbo hayabusa bike engine in the back!!!! the whole setup incorporates a rollcage, new suspension even an electric reverse gear! does 0-100 in roughly 3 secs...... and revs over 10 000rpm. they sell a diy kit online. i reckon our local tuners should try and make an affordable version of it here. IT'S SICK!!!! :twisted:

On a similar note, could a smart ever stand a chance against a Ferrari F430, hell yes!

Its also got a hayabusa engine apparently and it fooks off like no other.

And for the BMW fans, another reasons why here is nothing better than a Beemer, enzo my arse :twisted:
