mikuni Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Sweet man. Are you the guy who build this car? We have talked about it several times while discussing possible bike engine conversions. Very keen to see more pictures of the setup, with details if possible. So sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyabusa Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 sweet. yea he did the first one and kicked my arse after i had just spent way too much time and money building a 4k with quad throttles and link, week later we had a crashed busa in the shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Grumble Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Love this car, I was racing at Taupo on the weekend (stink for me we are in the same class ) and got to have a bit of a watch, I just love the engine/box sound your car makes, so mean. What is it geared to max out at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Very keen to see more pictures of the setup, with details if possible. +1 also any issues you had would be very interesting to know about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyabusa Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 oh yea i remember your car,was a good day. top speed is 180kph which seems pretty good as it is mainly used on gravel where we're not really up there all that often, although at the last rallysprint i did we hit the limiter in 6th at three different times on the 10km stage. would like to gear it to about 200 at some point. latest issue is the clutch which started slipping the tinyest bit at taupo track day, have priced a new one and heavyer springs.lasted a lot longer than i was thinking it would and who knows what sorter hammering its had while on the bike ( i know i gave it some lol ) and im not shy with it off the line. turbo is defenitly happening, probly next year. i have some events i want to do as it is first.

bubblegoose Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 you need to get in touch with 'big CC' in the uk they do all the turbo stuff and have built turbo busa's over 800rwhp! so im pretty sure one of there clutches would suit you perfectly, and maybe gearbox if you got the cash (there also working on a 1000cfm supercharger kit which would make some interesting results in you starlet ) [edit] http://www.bigccracing.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Mint as, I also thought the busa engine was alot smaller, prob cause its from a bike! as far as bikes go they are real big bitches aye big tanks and fairings and large motor due to having to keep a big bore to keep the stroke down. Massive difference hopping on a r6 or something small rather the small bike any day. Edit: just re-read the thread amesome car man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
