YO!

Me and a mate of mine has started building up another kit car, using a tiger chassis, GSXR1000 engine etc

Its more than likely gonna be running the standard thorttlebody set-up for now, with a totally custom exhaust, suspension and brake set-up.

Few pics;

Not a massive hit this thread

Bit more progress tonight anyway...

I'm sure it'll be mental to drive once finished! Any idea what it will look like though?

I hope it is.

The panels have been sourced through tiger aswell, but because the chassis has been modified to suit the bike engine, some of the panels will require re-manufacture.

This is what we have in mind....

SICK

Only seeing this now, NICE :)

What does a standard Gixer thou produce BHP wise?

Fire it in one of your GTs Max, stop all this fucking about with cams and ports....

But then again, where's the fun in that?

Hahaha, i could do. Would be crazy.

I'm not sure on the BHP of the GSXR engine, i know its a fucking lot! But then again it revs so high, so it isn't gonna have much torque, not that it will need any!

:-D

The GSX-R1000 engine was a redesigned GSX-R750 engine. The R1000 had a 1 mm (0.039 in) bigger bore and 13 mm (0.51 in) longer stroke, newly designed pistons with lower crown, and gear-driven counter balancer. The engine weighed 130 lb (59 kg) which was slightly heavier than the 750 engine but 31 lb (14 kg) lighter than the engine of the GSX1300R. The performance of the engine is a peak of 160 bhp (120 kW) at 9,500 rpm, as measured on the crank and 143 hp (107 kW),[2] when measured on the rear wheel with small variations between different instances of the same model. The redline is set at 12,000 rpm. The maximum torque of the engine is 80 ft·lbf (110 N·m) at 8,000 rpm. Combined with a total (dry) weight of 374 lb (170 kg) this gives the GSX-R1000 a top speed of 179 mph (288 km/h), a 1/4 mile time of 10.1 seconds at 141.7 mph (228.0 km/h), and a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) time of 3 seconds.

This things gonna be crazy

Finished designing the wishbones, so will get pics up of them...

My brother built a Quacker 900 powered (iirc) lo-cost (the one you buy the manual for, and do the rest!). It was totally stripped. Seats were literally molded, with a small bit of foam for your arse. Was an animal, I've never been in anything that accelerates, and continues to accelerate like it
