bought the t-shirt, then I had to sell it. Cause it sent me broke, it demanded to be serviced every 5 minuites with synthetic oil and went through optimax like the a big thirsty V8

And before you get excited , motorbike engined car's aren't legal in Australia unless you pay $7,000 or so to get the engine tested for car emissions rather than bike emissions , they have different rules unfortunately :cry: :evil: :cry: :evil: :cry: :evil: :cry: :evil: :cry: :evil:

Remove one of the wheels and it is perfectly legal. ADR's ... the bane of my life. Was contemplating a Busa Clubman, then the ADR's wouldn't alow it. :x

I'm having horrid visions of a 500 hp Reliant 3 wheeler (the thing that mr Bean picks on ...) instead of a hyabusa mini here ... How about a massive chain driven drag wheel filling the rear of the mini driven by the hyabusa and the normal front subframe , would that work as being a 3 wheeler for the ADR's ?



Disclaimer , I know this is highly improbable , unsafe and unstable for anything other than straight line but imagine the acceleration ......

Hee hee , I was bored so did a dodgy drawing of what I meant above .... Have to put motor in the passenger seat area but still , if you wanted to do a cheap and nasty drag mini it could be fun .... Lethal...... but fun .

SSP racers live!
(probably meaningless to anyone under 40, but they were one of the coolest toys of the early 70s)
