stick it in the boot of the most innocent looking donar you can find, or buy a retro pickup like a mk vw caddy and plonk it in the middle of the bed, polished up nicely.

Get a clubby and put it in the front. 13x7s might JUST be able to get some grip in 3rd

lol, i was thinking try and mate it to a transaxle and make a mid-engined single seat mess around?

Drift it?

[01smartc]

Just the engine

Im an engine builder so its going to be rebuilt... then either supercharged or twin turbo'd

Should put out around 300bhp

Now a go-kart...

How would you do that?

Start it up and listen to it?

Buy an Austin Princess and put it in that!

Google v8 go kart if you want some ideas sounds pretty dangerous but hey! Or maybe a v8 allegro

I know someone who put a twin turbo rover v8 in a laguna, its used to eat gear boxes because it produced so much torque.
