austen, i would buy one already done as i want a car to drive, not something to sit in the garage for another 4 years and not get done 
7k will get a westfield, 14k will get a caterham.
saying that, i plant to actually do a few hours on the 3dr this weekend, so it will be nearly ready to map i hope. else ill break the fucking thing

no it wont, but i doubt ill get 7k for the fooking 3dr...
not fussed about what engine it has, as that can done later.
ideally i would like an audi powered elise, and they can be had for around 7k. of course then you have another 5k of audi engine and fitting to go lol

This sounds even better
A quad rotor nasp
Just imaging what this could do in a westy

By just saying Bike engine it means nothing.... there are loads of kit cars out there with old fireblade engines. They sound amazing.... but are slow as fuck after 60mph... 100 odd bhp and about 3lb ft of torque.
A new Hayabusa engine has ALOT more power....
as someone else said though... BECS don't make for good road cars in my opinion due to the short gearing. good fun on track though.
If you want to see your mates car UTTERLY destroyed by YB engined westy.... let me know

Its the light weight chassis and has a brand new fireblade engine. But I struggle to see how it could even get close to YB performance.
He has a complete hayabusa in the workshop which was bouhgt, with the intention of replacing the fireblade lump.
well we are in essex near colchester, so may have to take you up on the offer

Wahay!! I've lost my Virginity!!
The price of the blocks made in Brum seem reasonable over the cosworth supplied version
who,s doing theese then,!,looking to build a n/a cossy on one of theese blocks but the price is holding me back.
