hi, been working on this over Christmas, its a reliant kitten (4 wheeled version of the 3 wheeler)

plan is to build a drift car (might not work out like that though but ah well)

engine that is going in is a aprilia rsv mille 1000 it'll be running reliant rear axle with welded diff and a custom prop

10.5k, it's only 125bhp and something like 70 torque but the cars 500kg

Only opted for this engine because of the sound they make, nice v2 sound

Haha definitely one of a kind, handled great with an open diff but needs better shocks at the back

more done to the kitten, prop is now done! at last, the adapter I made was wonky so I had my mate build one...what was also wonky so we just welded the thing together

bodys back on, wiring is kinda done, just needs the body loom connecting to the bike loom...but I drove it!!!! out the unit and back in and loved it! clutch feels nice and springy so should get some nice 1/4 starts only problem was the gearlever wasn't man enough so a little bit of 5mm plate sorted that

tomorrow ill attempt to plumb the brakes up and finish the wiring then go find a roundabout

today I tided the loose wires up and finished plumbing in the brakes, also welded a cage around the prop tunnel just incase the prop decides to fall off

managed to get a quick drive in it, only was able to take it upto 3rd but felt pretty mental =P

made a adapter for the air box today, also the clutch slave cylinder has a crack in it and the gearlinkage is naff so ordered parts to replace the both
also had to fit a bigger rad as the reliant one was blocked so fitted the rad off my old kit car on, works a treat

Why dont you fit a pair of ram pipes on top of the carb, then fit a bigger air box, it'll improve
torque for free?.

well...what a nightmare this car is lol problem after problem

new problem now is the sprag clutch has gone so it wont start!!! but the fun I've been having in it means I don't care! =D

but got myself a rollcage and some joints for a anti-tramp bar for the axle

ill give the cage a paint up before it goes in though

Would need loads of work to get a turbo to fit probably full custom internals ect would be pretty cool though
