Motorbike engines are so good in kit cars

That ain't no bike engine.

Probably a N/A Zetec or Vauxhall XE on throttlebodies.

look at the angle the throttle bodies stick out of the bonnet.
Thats the sign of a motorbike engined kit car cos it leans over on its side.
With throttle bodies on a car engine they stick out the side of the bonnet
as the engine is square upright like urs.

Unless Tony's got a manifold that angles the throttle bodies and I'm just talking twoddle

Trust me I'm a kit car anorak

Looking at the angle of the air filter i'd say its a Vauxhall engine. Looks like i'm the biggest kit car anorak .....

Wait a second, thats probably not a good thing .

i dont think it rev's long enough for it to be a bike engine, doesnt sound like its being pulled round to 13-14,000rpm

I'm still sticking with a Vauxhall XE

Doesn't rev high enough for a bike engine.

As for the angle of the throttle bodies, if you buy individual Jenvey TB's they are angled against the head and stick out the bonnet if you use long enough trumpets to assist low down torque.

No chance that's a bike engine!! Goes damn well, not Andrew Forsyth is it? My dad is also called Andrew Forsyth, and has a 230bhp Zetec Caterham...and it seems his namesake might be a bit of a nutter The guy in the vid looks quick and slightly nuttish, so when I showed my dad he thought that's who it might've been. Do I get the prize?

Oh cool, thanks for putting that up. And it's not my daddy, so this must be the namesake we've been wondering about! Do you know if he shoots target rifles too by any chance? He's driving that thing like it's on road tyres! Good vids you have
