Re: Its seems that everyone is using Honda motors on custom cars, VIDEO
i would really love to see somebody build something like this. my only concern would be weight, obviously a lot of the handling and power is in the weight, the atom car only weighs a little over 1,000 lbs. i was thinking more along the lines of a turbo hayabusa motor or something of that type. >:D

Re: Its seems that everyone is using Honda motors on custom cars, VIDEO
There is a UK company that builds its own crank and crankcase to merge 2 HB engines into a V8. I think boosted they got 1000hp for race use at like under 200lb with tranny. Your gonna pay race price though.
The best P/W honda car motor seems to be the S2000 at like 240hp and like 275lbs. Then again, you could do a DART block buildup with a forged bottem end for reliability. You can tell I thought about it before... I was surprised how neutral it was for the engine almost being cantilevered over the rear. I always thought when I built my custom tube frame car it would need to be mid engine.. |

What about a lotus 7 with a s2000 motor. Not as bad ass, but it would kill anything on the road. And I've seen them built for way less than $20G.

Yawn.
I have seen it all before and I cant afford any of it. Can you? The stuff I could afford like the Mustang, I wouldnt buy because its Ford junk. The same old Viper and Corvete. I already have a truck and I dont want a Cadillac. This is where it comes down to personal taste. I have seen and done it all, I have owned 400HP big block muscle cars, turbo 4 cylinders, V12 Jags and every thing in between. I went through a British car faze, a German car faze and I did the V8 buba thing. I am board and want something different. I can't be the only one. |
