That's a better idea. If this is going to be a dd I would think about something else, since bike engines need more maintenance and rebuilds typically due to high revving, lightweight components, etc. What kind of clutch would that thing need for a heavy car chassis?

SITUNE's RWD CBR 900 Turbo'd UK Escort.
Alot easier to setup for a RWD then a RWD. They just make a mount that slide onto where the sprocket goes onto the the driveshaft bolts onto that.
Sexy...
and just think you'd have basically a seq. tranny. They updated the site but took alot of the stuff down on it but they used to have a couple videos of it that were pretty cool. They had it NA for awhile and it still scooted around pretty good.

A bike engine in a fwd would be too much work just to have the hp numbers of around a z6 and the torque of tug of war match with a infant. All that work for just less then stock numbers. Revving your engine to 13k and going as fast as a civic cx is hardcore. :1 In a rwd it would be a ---- ton easier but I'd think you'd still have to boost it to get something better then a stock feeling. Yeah I know the weight difference would be probably pretty dramatic as the weight of the bike's engine and tranny would probably weight as much as just the car's tranny. Something I always wanted to do only if I got a light rwd shell and bike engine cheap or free.

The bike w/motor is 500lbs. (no driver)
Lets say you get the EF to weight 1500lbs without driver.
You end up with a motor that is pulling 3x the weight..
..that's like putting a B16 in a car that weighs ~7000lbs. The 1.6L of displacement just doesn't have the umpth.
