Details? ;)

Little death-machines like a lightly modded LS3/Miata I got the chance to ride in are so much fun.

a fully raced yamaha R1 engine and box, gearbox works the exact same way as a bike but with a gear stick, fibreglass doors bonnet etc, completly stripped

what is a LS3? i take it that it's a very fast toy like this!

The LS3 is a motor made by GM. Check the link:

GM LS engines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

LS series motors are very popular for cramming into tight engine bays of lightweight cars on this side of the water.

I bet the sounds from the R1 motor in that car are quite surprising! haha

If I were to jam something into a lightweight track car, it would have to be the Hartley V8 motor based off of two Yamaha GSX1300R motors. 2.8L V8 that sings at 10,000RPM and possibly higher. :D

Check it out: Hartley H1V8 Motor Specifications

just been looking on that site, and their is some serious stuff on there, never seen that before, do you think that you would ever do a project like that? the power is unbeleivable, everyone looks around expecting to see a bike at the lights, and their sits this tiny mini instead :bustingup

PLEASE post a video when it runs. :D

I would love to mess around with a small, high-strung V8, but my car's body and chassis that the powerplant/driveline will be dragging around is not lightweight. It's going to need a bit more motor than 2.8L. Stinks that I've got some money tied up in the shell, otherwise I'd get rid of it and go with something lighter/smaller.

OT, but speaking of stuffing big GM V8s into vehicles...
here's a pic of a BossHoss m'cycle I had the chance
to wring out for most of one day. Fabulous, but a bit
scary at first, even having ridden many species of
m'cycles for 45 years. The sound is amazing, the
pickup is linear and very fast. The handling is so-so.
GL, mD

Don't worry, A vid will be posted once on a track, it sings at 8000rpm, it's unbeleivable honestly..
