.. Im gona make him a offer for R12k or R15k nd see if he falls for it.. Ive got sum nice ideas that can take shape in d form of a bantam! Hw does a 150kw compact V6 motor sounds in d nose of a bantam? Reduce weight to 850/900kg nd i cud easily sit wit 160kw per ton! Gona kick sum serious opc nd mps a55 .. Nd that wit n/a.. Also future supercharging wud be of hi priority nd i hav a wonderful feelin

Will the brakes cope with the power?
|

|
|
@arnez.gp | 4 January 09 |
|
Custom mountings should be your biggest concern. .The brakes wont survive either. .Are you going to keep the standard suspention?Have you worked out how far the motor has to be for good weight distribution?A nose heavy car aint good for daily driving. .Soo much to think and calculate Xav. .But im sure you have all that covered lol

@rsi.xav | 4 January 09 |

Oh nd custom mounting brackets.. I luv makin them lol! Did u know arnie, that d diesel bantams got electric powersteering? Nice..

Bout engine weight.. Im nt sure hw much, bt i tink d all alloy KL motor is a great deal lighter than the 1.8 diesel. Its still a cast iron head nd block. So 1st of al i must get hold of d bakkie nd ma 2nd biggest concern is to sqeeze d KL in d nose of it.
