Renno, check this custom build out..

[DragKnee]

So I know you mentioned your ideas of making a rail with a GSXR 750 motor yesterday, and I thought you'd like to see what a local shop just recently finished making...

Full Pictures of Build Here: http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad64/dfcarl/SonaBusa/

Less than 1800lbs with driver, 200HP 12,000 RPM Hyabusa motor & transmission
They got it RWD by using a 1980 Toyota Corolla rear. Built the tunnel and the driveshaft. slip yoke with a carrier bearing.

When I first saw the pic on my phone I thought it was the 20 valve variant of the 4AGE with the individual throttle bodies. Was thinking shit at that angle I hope they have the oil system sorted. Got to looking and finally read it was a hyabusa.

Silly motorcycle engine nuts.

What a wast of money.

What a wast of money.

You either gotta love the hobby, or not.

The money I've 'wasted' into cars and motorcycles in the last 9 years is simply absurd. But, if I had the chance, I'd do it all over again. :beerchug: My passion for cars & bikes is what makes me get my ass outta bed every morning and go to work.

Putting a low torque motor into a heavy car (a Saab at that). Makes no sense. Trust me I know a thing or too about blowing money on a hobby.

and I'm almost done with this guy. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3882095/1974-mg-mgb/

The car weighs 1500lbs without a driver? I'd hardly consider that heavy.

All I know, is that the shop says the thing books it pretty damn good.

And on that note, this thing sure isn't heavy lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apd1KBjLV8k

I've put $13,000 in my Zx6... haha so I know what it's like.

Man, that kart video was awesome.

It's my dream to buy/make a really nice kart someday, but I don't know much about cars sadly xD . I believe it's the cheapest way to get into the "feel" of open-wheel racing... I guess I'll have to have a truck to haul it around too, which sucks...

"Previous owner had Kart up to 181 mph before a tire blew out."

there was this kid in cleveland, he was the coolest kid in school and everything, he liked cars as well, one day he put a 400hp engine on a rusted fiat...

he encountered a red light, the car stopped but the engine kept going over the intersection, he was the biggest clown in town after that.

 

[RainMotorsports]

That's why you build rusty rwd cars not fwd fiats jk

Renno, you don't wanna know.

(It's a cheap brand of Italian cars that is notorious for being as shitty as possible. My English uncle calls FIAT: Fix It Again Tomorrow)

I guess it's something like... Hyundai/Seat in the USA? But worse... if you can imagine it.

Think Ford Pinto...
