I understand that dare no longer supply kits. The G12 is not road legal under sva and now iva legislation on a number of account as I understand it. It is also so low that I would not want to drive one around Birmingham. Parked next to a Lotus Exige it look so small and the Exige is not a tall car.
Thanks for that. I see from some of the other threads, they will supply a roling car for around 20k plus the VAT.
Caterham money then, and about the same size.
Thought it would make a nice hillclimb car. But the biggest anual event here in Mallorca, is closed road sections in the mountains, and you have to drive between sections.
I can use the Seven anyway. When it's finished....... Just thinking ahead for a suitable stablemate/next project, when I've finished the three I have now.

Yes it has to be driven on the road between sections.
It's not actualy a hill climb as such, more of a rally.
There are timed closed road sections, where you have to arrive at the end in a certain time. You get penalised for getting there to early, as well as too late.
Then there's a balls out race class, where you have to do the section as quickly as possible.
A new built car wouldn't actualy qualify, but you can enter as a "00" car, and do it just for the fun.
It's run over 3 days, and covers most of the mountain roads of Mallorca.

I know, its a very nice engine, the Zytek has a bit more cc the H1 with a lot of power is me thinks more fragile then that Zytek...
but thats a guess, also the H1 is expensive but I guess the Zytek too
both very nice engine's though.
radical uses powertec I believe? but I guess almost the same principle as the H1...also expensive and a bit short? lifespan?
but those type of engines transforms those lightweight cars in real monsters
The Hayabusa engine is the toughest bike engine out there. Jack frost runs his top speed bike at just over 700hp. Turns the boost down, and rides it on the street! That's from the four pot bike engine.
400hp from the H1 is with 4mm overbore to make 2.8 ltr, mild cams, and a bit of headwork. Very mild state of tune. In fact it will be a bit more, around 420.
There are now stroked cranks available to make 3.0 ltr. Lifespan shouldn't be any less than the normal Hayabusa engine.
Billet flat plane crank too, so should sound nice with seperate exhuasts each side, without a balance pipe.
Nicosil bores.
The H1 costs the same as a new BDG. around 22k.
The powertec is a 73 degree V the H1 a 75 degree V.
There's also a H2 now, which is a billet case to take the 4 pot hayabusa top end 4 inline, and connect to a car box, i.e. Hewland. 60kgs!
I'd consider that with a Turbo for my Caterham, but it looks like he's using the alternator end of the bike engine crank, for the clutch take off. A bit weak me thinks? (Although I stand to be corrected on that one, maybe he turns the crank around the other way) I'm still saving for the H1 to put in my Seven, with a Drenth sequential.

don't know to much about those special engines...
though a h1 in a seven is screaming fast, like that Caterham 2800RS Levante.
or that SV with V8
