Love it...Purchased my first Midget in 1976...3500$ new. Presently driving a Z3 BM trouble U...nice as well purchased a few years back with 27k miles...but lacks that wonderful raw feel of the Midget.
I forgot to mention: Your MG is absolutely brutal...sounds like it wants to go and go. What a nice job you did. *****Where did you get the Instrument Cluster ( on driver's side, single unit. )??
More on the build ..ive got a 77 midget n eng is ceased..think this is the way to go what are u USEING to connect and or trans or I use of both so you have a rev.gear..lots of ???.need answets
I'm wanting to do something like this. I plan on leaving the car transmission in and replacing the engine with a 1300 Hayabusa with its transmission. So example:you want to go forward select a gear 1-5 on the car transmission before taking off. backwards? Select reverse. Then to take off and drive you shift the bike transmission 1-6. The bike engine and transmission joined to the car transmission with a drive coupler,splines to go over the splines on the car transmission then the other end of the coupler has a sprocket to accept power from the output of the bike transmission. You most likely would not be able to shift the car transmission while moving because it's a non synchronized transmission but it would still be having the effect of 2.5x the hp and 6sp sequential manual from the engine upgrade and having an effect of 5 different drive ratios from leaving the car transmission in place...oh yeah plus you still have reverse.
Sam Boofle fastest street bike you don't have to.sell your house to buy. There is one powered by a dodge viper engine and another powered by a jet engine. I know jay leno reviewed the latter.
Yeah I saw that review, and I've also seen a pic of the viper one now, but the busa is a bike that is mass produced. Also they're pretty well known I'm a car guy and I know the busa
