Otherwise, nice engineering.

So where do you put your shopping?

Could you tell me what engine it is? I have no idea what so ever what engine is in there.

So he has put a bike engine in his saxo as he wants bike performance.

In the process has made it 10 X more expensive than a bike and just as practical and yet will be slower...

...why not just buy a bike? Confused

Sut the bonnet and the boot, and yep, it's still a Saxo!

£10,000 around that is how much that kind of set up costs. I know a company is putting R1 engines, Fireblade engines and Gixer 1000 Engines in saxo's for a price of £10,000 again as a rough estimate.

Its all about being different though, and having a bike engine in a saxo is by far being different.

HEY! I've put a 1.2 litre engine onto a motorbike! Laughing

Oh wait, it's already been done! Doh!

At the end of the day mate you either like it or you don't going to try and track down some footage of it in action. Then we can see what it is really like.

The engineering behind it is cool.

Why do it? Because you *can*.

Its kind of bizarre, but on the bright side, it'll sound like a beast, shame it still wont move like one. Rolling Eyes

Looking at the last picture, is that chain hooked up to a large sprocket or some kind of shaft drive? (I have no idea.) Razz

Saxos are still womens cars bike engines or not. Pedals are nearly on top of each other they are that close together.

So is there any advantages what so ever?? im assuming its lighter, but surely less torque therefore probably little if no improvement in acceleration?
Top speed would also be sacrificed?

My only criticism is that the wheels are exposed inside the car - you'd have thought after all that time and money they could've put some covers on them?

Would love to see the inside of that engine bay if he went through a puddle Laughing

My opinion... Kool!

I like it Laughing

such a lot of bloody work. If u look EVERYTHING has been custom made which takes a lot of skill Thumbs Up

Still I agree with the wheel arches. I think there should be some Laughing

The "Sexo" is a bit gay but apart from that, what advantages would there be, Would it be any faster...

I bet it sounds well nice Very Happy

Waste of a good engine. Razz

It's a shame about the 'sexo' bit as it kinda drags the whole car down. Thumbs Down

i dunno about u lot but i think its amazing how a lot of car drivers (especially those into modding) take the piss out of us bikers, yet some pratt goes and sticks a bike engine in his modded saxo ??? Confused

Never mind though....it wont last 5 mins with the engine exposed by the lack of arches anyway, 10k and he didnt think to put arches on it. 42 carrat plonker i say!
