The experience is like a go kart.
I have been on the interstate, but When possible/practical I avoid it. It gets pretty intense.
The sitting ride height is not much lower than my miata was, so it doesn't freak me out that much.

But the type 4 has its attrubutes. Sky is the limit for upgrades, simple to get running. TRUST ME.... this is a big deal having done the kit car thing before..... It also keeps all the heat behind the passenger compartment. Flat 4 keeps the CG low as well.

Yea, but the transmission in a busa does not hold up well in a car. The other frames are using suburu engines. I personally would like to see a Goldwing enigne in one.

I bet that thing sounds pretty cool though with a flat 4 in it. im in love.

A N/A 13b with a street port is a really good match for a very lightweight vehicle like yours. And the lack of torque makes it easy to modulate mid-corner without losing it. There are a few things I still miss about my FC.

Plan is to yank the type 4 and see if I can fix it.

Here we can see the wild cheery picker in its natural environment preparing to pounce on its next victim. It's spotted mostly around cars that are low on power, have windows where they should not, or have been rendered immobile.
Oddly enough, it usually leaves then better off than when they were when initially spotted, right before it retreats back into storage.

Lol. That's the best caption for a pic I've seen lately. Type 4's don't like to be revved super-awesome-high do they? Time to call in Pauter Machine.

Like this guy Jake Raby in Atl. He makes the best type 4 , hands down. And its good, real good. But I am not paying ten thousand dollars for an old vw engine that MIGHT make 200 hp.
Used ej20t off ebay, with trans and ecu? 2k. used rx-x rotarties? ~2k. Liter bike engine that is a couple of years old, revs to the sky, and makes 200 hp with a tune? ~2k.
And no, they dont like to rev, aparently the fan will let go if you keep the revs above 7k for awhile. Iv;e benn told this motor should be good for 6k :/
A boy can dream.
