I dont really see the point but then I never do!! That R1 powered Go-kart impressed me - it really could fly This though I dont see the point or why anyone would want one

Beardy what sort cost would sum1 be looking at just for them to do the conversion, if the car owner supplied the engine. the basic basic conversion so its fitted and running,
as the car owner is a mecahnic who can do alot of the after work (bits and bobs) Himself.

Not 130 bhp more like 170. I'd not do this in a saxo and would question those 60 times.

Why not just stick a LET in, bet it's cheaper and more reliable. Probably quicker aswell....?
power to weight
R1 engine is about 130bhp and weight nothing, plus RWD
Quickest Corsa 0-60 to date is 4.9 and the saxo will easy run faster than that, PLUS the added factor the engines are standard.....
comparing front wheel drive with rear wheel tho dude!
i can see the plus points of it, but then the negs too, like how long will an engine last? all good tho, would love to see how it peforms on track

would it be a lot harder to fit two bike engines?
surely then it would really be worth it?
