That's because you haven't done anything in it

Get on some trackdays to keep you occupied and actually use it

Bike engines can be cool in track cars that weigh 500kg or under... as cossies weigh over twice that, it wouldn't work at all due to the engines relative lack of torque and because of its where it delivers its power

Jules, I reckon you need a new challenge me old mucker!! I have lost count of the amount of engines/gearboxes etc etc you have had in your 3 door since you've owned it! But on a serious note i think if u were to change it...you need to do something different that will pick your brains n cretae a challenge! Personnally i think it would be far more exciting! IMO of course!

Did i really start this thread
Not bored anymore as i went out today and bought a new garage door
Will see how i feel in a few days but with me once an element of doubt is there it does tend to grow into a radical change of direction
