I fit Ferodo DS3000 or something to the front of my old AE92 Trueno years ago, stupid expensive (close to $300 from memory) but amazingly good. Maybe they do rears? Also these guys might be able to make you some if you send the back plates: http://www.racebrakes.co.nz/

The R1 is nice and compact and should work for fwd depending on the size of the diff and sprocket. The lowest power one is 140hp (carbs). I love the sound of the vfr800 (my brother had one years ago too), like a little shrieking v8. But its awkward to make it fit in fwd or rwd or mid mounted. It's 105hp so would want to supercharger or turbocharge it. Diff ratio is the real problem with small diameter wheels/tires.

It might also come down to trying to get the gearing right too.

Apparently Mini flares do fit, lots of work to do before that stage though haha

Lots of cool info, I'm going to have to look out for an AMR300 even if I end up with a bigger bike engine for the N360 instead, I have to find a use for one. So cool...

I quite like some subtle wheel arches and wheel like this, look like maybe 12's or 13's?:

I had a Clubman 1100s that was a fun car, so for 'simplicity' keeping it fwd might be a good idea. I have another car for rwd'ness. Right now I am waiting to see if the panel arrive from AUs without being held up by Jacinda or something.

That's quite a different front end, bonnet even the lights. Kind of looks like Mini lights? Wheels are cool.

Sounds like you are the man to know haha

Man, 20psi! I had a sc12 on 4agze which is basically the same thing but 1200cc. For a short time it ran 10psi and no intercooler, the outlet pipe got FCUKING hot real quick and the ECU must have pulled timing because it ran like a sack. Then intercooled and it was happy. (Then turbo'd and it was even happier lol)

I'm at work and Chrome was locked down not that long ago, I've got admin rights but it'll just get removed again. Because: pissy.

Two and 8.6:1 from what I can find.

Cool thanks for the offer, have you used one yet? Interested to know experiences with draw through carb set ups.

Cool, are you selling it?

The big amr500 might be a bit much for a 360cc two cylinder?

Sanded this stuff and ordered some primer, then went to measure the N360 just because.

Yep I found that, some info but most of the photo's were hosted by photobucket so are gone now.

Cheers muchly.

The plan is to fix rust, get it running with 360cc engine and get it on the road. But I can't stop thinking about what I could do to it, the fact its so light keeps me coming back to a bike engine using the bike gbox. Ideas so far: 1. Tiny turbo RHB31 VZ21 the 360cc. 2. Tiny supercharger AMR300 the 360cc 3. FWD bike engine car (BEC) using R1 1000cc and modified Civic fwd diff and shafts (might need to cut firewall). 4. VFR800 rwd if I can move the engine far enough to the passenger side to get the output shaft close enough to the middle, then a live axle with normal diff. Problem is the ratio needs to be at or less than 3.0:1 which isn't going to happen since most small diffs are around 4:1 or 5:1 5. Semi copy that vfr800 one of youtube and use an IRS rear end (mx5 or S13), run normal prop shaft and no reverse. This would be at best 3.6:1 so it would be revving its tits off at 100kph. 6. IRS rear, modify the diff to run a sprocket like they do with the fwd ones. That way the diff ratio is open to what ever size sprocket(s) are used. This also means it would need to be a mid mounted engine for the chain and it's much further than I wanted to go with the car, not even sure it could be road legal. A sprocket diff solves the diff ratio problems and makes it easier to have electric reverse but it also has its own problems. I could possibly run an inline car gearbox but again it gets very complicated with driveshafts So..... the easiest options: FWD - leave it factory and 27hp. FWD BEC R1 (compact) and sprocket diff RWD The easiest way to make it rwd is a no reverse, live axle leaf sprung, 'normal' prop shaft, front engine (has to be compact enough to mount north south). This literally keeps me awake at night.

The dashboard is in such good condition considering the body is so neglected: Waiting for doors and panels from Aus, the doors and some other bits should be on the way soon. Some other parts will need to wait a week or so to cut out. The doors are rust free but a bit of damage to fix, still a much better starting point. Have a lot of ideas about what I could do with this once it is fixed body wise, so I did some rough measurements of the engine bay: About 54cm from the current subframe to the top of the engine, could gain a bit from modifying the subframe and free space to the bonnet. Almost exactly 50cm from the firewall to the grill (under the support). On the passenger side there is a heater fan motor housing jobby, it doesn't look like all had this but it could give some more space. Roughly 80cm wide if I try fit a v-engine which could overlap the sides: C Live axle (well dead axle) leaf spring rear so there is the possibility of a live axle diff for rwd?

I've recently discovered these, I've stuffed around with with SC12's but never knew about these little buggers. A bit of a search on here and it looks like some of you guys have played with them, stupid Photobucket has fcked the details from 5 or 6 years ago though, so I thought I'd start a topic specifically about them. $200 USD! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/mechanical-supercharger-car-gear-supercharger-Turbocharger-Roots-Supercharger-for-Displacement-1-2-2-2L-model-AISIN/32273573307.html It makes me want to buy one and think about possible applications later... An AMR300 might suit my Honda N360, it could even be a bolt on if driven off the cooling fan pulley. The carb is mounted with a rubber joiner so it would be easy to swap to something else. Maybe I could use a bike carb? It may not be a good idea due to rarity of parts but the idea is so tempting, surely it would be ok on 4 or 5 psi? Who has played with these and carbs?

Two stroke!

Cool, I called them but no answer or voicemail. Will try again though. Thanks

Cool thanks, if I can't find one a bit closer I'll let you know. I'd be looking at hubs, discs, calipers, driveshafts and maybe wheels so probably a bit to send.

Cool thanks muchly.
