:|!!! now that is awesome... there is also an awesome car on.... top gear.. that was powered by a busa motor! that thing was amazing, it almost clocked fastest lap time... and it was a kit car to, only like 30,000 GBP. not to bad considering it was beating 100,000+ GBP cars.

[Jockney Rebel]

siaken was that the Atom thing ? like a 4 wheeled bike

[crazymofo]

the atom had a supercharged honda civic engine in it, they compared it to a cbr600rr

saiken, are you talking about them SMART- gsxr cars? little plastic smart car with a gixxer thou donk.

cheers.joe.

[saiken]

Thats the one! lol, i was looking at saving up and building one... or a caterham, but then decided i may as well just get a bike, which then lead me to discovering street fighters and falling in love =D

There's a guy near me with a busa powered Westfield car, he was going to turbo it till the first drive , recons it had enough as it was .now for sale

[EXBEN]

Pffffffffff...........Enough power..............as if there's such a thing as that [:o)]:D

[BANDITROD]

^^^^^^^^what he said^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^[}:)]:D

[saiken]

lol, so true. never enough power... unless it has a jet engine in it.... but even then...........

[Booster]

Ben i tried to talk him into a turbo [8D]

Helicopter engine? Are you builing a streetfightered Y2K?[8D]

[Booster]

Turboprop, what i want to do will have a full fairing, very full fairing . i only want a 500-700hp version but i need to learn a lot and this was relatively cheap, may have to put it in a boat as its a bit bulky for bike.

[Gix11]

I don't care if it ends up in a bus, just promise you'll show us the build up mate. This would make for well interesting viewing.

[EXBEN]

Hey Booster $2200 sounds cheap whats wrong with it.............Were'd ya get it. I've been looking for an Alison 250 for a while but $10000 is the best I've seen.
Do you want to sell it???[:p]

[Booster]

That Allison went for 9 with spare hot section and gearbox, if i hadn't just brought this i probably would have bid on it.
Yeah i was planing on reselling,needs accessories, i can turn up another 2 runners of these and spares.
mine was a training engine the others spent some time in a tractor pull tractor.
I'll give you a call tomorrow and let you know more , the guy with the other 2 wants $3500

;););)

[oldskool]

Fucken cool bremo very cool.

[Bastard]

the car on top gear was the westfield XTR2 standard busa engine mid mounted with the chain driving the rear diff with a split sprocket the road legel version had different headlamps and an electric(shit) reverse when tested we hit 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds in race trim on road tyres. I was involved in the design of the original prototype many problems with keeping the fuel temp down to stop vapourising.we also built one called the megabusa front mounted engine converted to shaft drive with an inline reverse gearbox 0-62mph recorded by a magazine think it was fast car was 3.2secs and was only beaten by the zcars which had twin zx10 engines.

[Booster]

Darryl's is a front engine, those inline reverse boxes arn't cheap ,somewhat shocked when i heard the price .

[Bastard]

reverse gearbox made by quaiffe and westfileds own is very eazy to repair/rebuild. the westfield factory even sell reconditioned boxes. westfield had many problems with these boxes if darryl's has been upgraded it should be stampe by one of the flanges with the 1 or all of the following letters C= UPRATED CHAIN D= MODIFIED DETENT IN SELECTOR D= MODIFIED DOG ENGAGEMENT.

Thanks i'll check.
