DaveK Posted November 13, 2004 Author Share Posted November 13, 2004 Dave No the alloy blocked engine is going back into my sports libre car as that will make that a better proposition to sell it with as a dedicated hillclimb car. The Caterham with this "cooking" engine can be used as a track day/race or hillclimb sprint car so it widens my prospective market for a sale. I don't really want to sell it ☹️ , but i've been seduced by a car with a potential 1000bhp/tonne so everything must go. Mind you i have got a spare hayabusa engine fitting kit so if things don't go to plan a class 6 return may be on Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I don't really want to sell it , but i've been seduced by a car with a potential 1000bhp/tonne so everything must go. Sorry to be the one to tell you this but K2RUM doesn't have 1000 BHP per tonne Nemesis Don't click here Edited by - Nemesis on 16 Nov 2004 10:11:56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
