3 cylinder iirc. And boy are the fast. Don't mess! There's one round me with Lexus lights and a universal 5" exhaust. Proper monster it is

I don't know why the lads with these don't just stick a sparkler to the roof when the drive. They drive em like bumper cars so they may as well look like em

3 cylynder


remember the old honda ballade and rover 213 mk1, well they had a 1.3 12v engine with 4 cylynders, 2 inlet and 1 exhaust per cylynder - nice torquy engine they were for the capacity, shame the cars fell to bits around them

as said 12volts are indeed 3 cylinders, there not bad if you compare them to the marginly slower 1.28v that has a whole 45bhp like mine used to have

A lad round my way has one of these... he`s tries not to make sound so bad when people ask him about it by saying.......................... are you ready for this............................ " It`s half a V6 so it`s really quite fast!!"
