didnt they also use yamaha 600's?

they had something on the SAE carts in an old magazine some where... hmmm


i say screw it, spend 3,000-5000 on a shifter car and hit 90 on an autox course



and what are you talking about hcivic?

aircraft engines DO have distributors and need a battery to get starting.

i will have to read up on it, they work somewhat differently than regular automotive engines i just dont remember exatly how right now.

Or these
Mazda: Miata 1.6, Rotary 1.3
Hyundai: Tibi 1.8, Accent 1.5
Chevy: cavi 2.2
Geo: Storm 1.6
Nissan: Sentra 1.6
Mitsu: Eclipse 2.0/Neon 2.0,
Toyota: Celica 2.2 1.8 2.0
VW: 1.8, 2.0


Which do you think would be best. all engines<1995

Mazda's 1.8 and 1.6's use an Iron block, so no.

Hyundai.... WTF are you thinking?!

Chevy's motors are simply OBESE.

Geo. No go.

Nissan's 1.6L DOHC motor is pretty stout for it's size. The SR20DE is only SLIGHTLY heavier, so that might be a better option.

Eclipse 4G63 N/A motors are nice. The Neon 2.0L 420a is a POS.

The newer Celica 1.8L ZZ Motors are pretty sweet. If you get one, make sure it's the 180 HP one out of a GT-S. The GT motor is ok, but my sacrifice 40 hp for NO added weight?

VW's use a HEAVY Iron block as well.

Have you ever though about finding a SVT Focus motor? That might be fun.

Jack, Pete SAE team is using the CBR 600, and so does the 2 others that I have seen at verious autoX's.

A motorcycle is probally the best way. Keep the frame under 200lbs, engine is extremly light weight and with no internals can rev to almost F1 levels. I belive that they just use the stock motorcyle tranny.

200lbs thats very light. Thats like a go kart. does that include seat, accs, brakes and suspesion?

I've always wondered what a big ol' deep-sounding harley engine in a Civic would be like. In most cases more power than stock, and an AWSOME sound

Probelm with a motorcycle enige is that they are a little harder to get around here. Its not like everyone has one. There are a lot of people that have them but its either a cruising bike or a dirt bike. Very rare to see a street bike. I think Ive seen about 20 firsthand in my lifetime around here. Bikes are not good in snow.
