It's a shame about your Fabia being canned, I was looking forward to seeing it's progress. :( However this project looks just as good. B)

I was thinking of engines, and had a mad thought. How about a Bike engine? :wonder: You get a hell of a lot of power for 1 litre (or there abouts), plus a sequential gearbox, you of course have to add a reverse gear, but there are parts to do that.

There is a firm in Lincolnshire (Aldbrough, near Hull) that specialises in it. Zcars has put bike engines in old minis, Saxos, Fiat 500s even a Smart car. They normally go in the back, but I'm sure I've seen a mini with one in the front. I've even seen a mini with two bike engines in the back, other ones they have added a turbo and got silly amounts of power. :D

Here are some of their projects: http://www.zcars.org.uk/pe.php

If you can put a bike engine (R1 or Fireblade) or even a Honda VTEC in the front of small car such as an old mini, I wonder if one will fit in a Citygo?

Is there a 16" wheel option on the CitiGo? :giggle:

I was actually thinking 16s would be perfect! :D;)

Big enough to cover the 312mm brakes from the TT and only one inch bigger than the wheels already on the car so not too daft...

I am hoping to keep it looking as standard as possible, the goal is a blisteringly quick Q car.

I'm hoping changes will be limited to the area under the parcel shelf which is not visable and a little to the rear footwells, which won't be noticable.

Not saying I won't put one of my Carbon Fibre Tillett seats in for a track day though, otherwise I'll be flying all over the place. :)

But not needed for Santa Pod and the like.

Oh, this is getting more interesting by the day.

As far as wheels go, 16's but as close to OE pattern as possible?

And I presume Q car is code for wolf in sheeps clothing?

Richard you should approach a TV company and ask them to film it. If this was on TV I would watch it and it would make the perfect series. Sell the rights and that pays for the project, lol.

Cant wait to see how you solve all the issues on this project.
