[Mini Mad Drakeley]

im wanting to make a mini thats front engined, rwd and has a turbocharged hayabusa motorbike engine. i want it for a near everyday car but the only problem i can see it that theres no reverse gear. is there a solution to this or is it possible to put the engine on a cars gearbox?

im wantin the hayabusa engine for the power and also cus it is alot more rare than the R1 but thanx anyway its sumthin to consider

[minimad01]

Otherwise you can buy an electric motor for reversing, which is quite common on bike engined cars.

Quaife make a box to go inline with the prop shaft which reverses the drive, theoretically 6 reverse speeds.
