I was thinking about this all day cause I've been thinking about trying this out for the longest time and may have my hand on a cheap light rwd carb'd automatic car with some good aftermarket support. Also found this which is extremely helpful after reading through it. I'm thinking the easiest bet would be to use a FI bike engine and just use a fuel cell and just rip out all of the old carb stuff and fuel line. Since bike carbs are gravity feed and the need to run a fuel pump then run a fpr to lower the fuel pressure and then have to mess around with probably getting the damn things rejetted. The best part I like is using a bicycle speedometer in the car. lol. That says HMT all over it!! I'm thinking if I can sell the 850T and the Z I can get the donor car and find a crashed bike for cheap along with the small stuff and then pick up a SMiley/Mitec Plasma/TIg with the remainder money left over to use to fabricate everything.

Watching some of these cars, will make you think all night long. 0-60 mph in 2.8 is ------- fast, but 0-100mph in 3.8 is insane. This was done at 1000 pounds in the mini mini. Pretty cool stuff. If things go ok this winter racing. I will start this project. I have 90 festiva, 94 ninja 1100 cc, and a couple turbos around. Can you say spending ticket! My record is clean now so I guess it is time for a street car again.

I'm hopefully picking up a 82 Corolla. I've been hitting up ebay looking at the bike engine car kits. I'm thinking of either a blackbird engine or R1. Reverse will get dealt with later down the road. lol. It's so overrated to go backwards.
