You're not anorexic are you Mikey!?

:lol: Nah my body's my temple mate. I dont eat junk,but i find pasta and bread too bland and cant hold my beer - so I've always been low on carbs. I eat alot otherwise,so I'm built like a greyhound as a result.

Good for small-car motoring,but i think if any more weight will have to come off,it'll be taken off the car and not me..

I only weigh 52kg :p. No wonder my 1l polo seems quicker when it's just me lol :D.

Being 5'11" my BMI is 18 according to the salesman at my local NHS-Pharmacuticals Ltd.. I was 55kgs most of last year but 52 is proper light. :shock:

You should put a bike engine in it! ;)

Heh the thought did cross my mind... Hayabusa Turbo lump anyone :)?

The bike engine is all about revs,you wanna go normally aspirated.

R1 unit under the bonnet,throttle bodies,you'll have circa 180bhp at 14,000rpm and it'll still be a 1.0i :smirk:

heres the video of the philj 1l with a g40 bolted on :D

Any idea how much this would cost to do roughly :)?

No. There are companies dealing with gearboxes for cars (reverse gear) but they're dear. Z-cars are a well known one for bike conversions,they were doing it ten years ago.

Id look to building a very short ratio Polo box and adapting it to fit the bike engine,but thats a daunting prospect..

Agreed.

dont forget that 1l g40 before he bolted the charger on he blew it up squirting nitros oxide into the throtle body while at the limiter
