has anyone got any pic/info/threads etc for either a corsa or nova running a bike engine ?
i still have my nova shell sitting, and am having thoughts about going down a different road for it.

Mid engined would be easier to work into the car imo.
jus interested to see who has done it/and info on their build

Wouldn't a corsa be abit heavy. after all that engineering, would it be worth it?

i may go twin bikes next year if can sort a reverse gear out. single as said i dont think would be torquey enough to make worth while imo
but if search for berrisford autograss, drd racing, z cars, jma they do bike powered grassers, cars etc, may be handy.
if look on mig for my user in projects you'll get a rough idea of work involved in a rear engine car

I know exactly what work has to be done, had a good in depth look at a mini and had a good look and watched a mark1 fez that was at crail a couple years ago, the engineering is not going to weigh the car down much more, but as said twin engined is the way to go-unless you own a mini.......

raptor for reverse is that what you are meaning, as a raptor engine would be sh#t in a car......
you can use a starter motor for a reverse if you are wanting to make it road legal, personally, i wouldn bother

Yeah, i agree they are shit engines, but they have got reverse, or surely another yamaha box can be modded to take the reverse gear
