after 20k miles across US, it's still a blast. 2003 motor: smaller 1st gear, 2mm crank, cut all gears, ragemotorsport gear drive to Quaife diff, PC 5 autotune w quickshift, 172HP @ wheels, 1400LBS, 153 mph. Assessory drive cover replaces starter cover and drives alternator and AC compressor. Stator / rectifier is wired for back-up use only, should I have mech problems. The quaife allows sequential shift 6 spd fwd and aft. Instrument cluster from bike.

whole car pic?

Had to convert pics from jpeg due to file size. The header was ceramic coated a few years back. The remaining exhaust is ss. Why two cans?, I tried to get the motor reasonably quiet so that navigating the highways are less troublesome. I just finished a new glass airbox. Tossed the old OEM filter / custom box and installed a cold air set-up made from 1 tube splitting into 2.25 x 10 inch, equal length tubes (reverse header). It was all guesswork. The dyno this weekend.

Note the 'busa character on the rear bumper.

Just curious, what kind of gas mileage do you get with that little beauty?

 

[marcair]

NOTE: original 5 imperial gallon tank; geared for 6k rpm at 80mph. Never really tracked mileage, but a guess is ~20 - 25mpg 'aggressive'.

Almost doubled the original engine size if I remember my 660s right. How did you get it over here?
