Sounds cool...........looks kinda slow, like a festiva could out run it. This has been around quite awhile, never seen any performance numbers for it......1986 Comp Prep SVO Mustang(1 of 83) Four cylinder turbo! (Think first Fox body "R" model!)
1995 F-150 Extra Cab and it was free!
1991 Festiva L, Surf Blue with A/C
1995 Jeep Cherokee 2wd 5 speed 4.0 and it was free!
1993 Aqua Festiva and it was cheap!
1994 Brake Swap and it was cheap!
1969 Ford F100 Big Block Ranger and it was free! (coming 2/12)Comment

Re: car with a bike engine in it
[quote="todd00"]wonder what kind of gas mileage this metro is capable of, with a 650 bike engine in it? any idea?
Don't know about mileage, but wouldn't that 650 make it a 0.65 liter?
I thought about doing that with a Goldwing 1800 motor. Thats where the project got stalled.'89L 110k mi. BP/G swapped
'90LX 68k mi. wrecked 12/14 RIP
'90 F250 4X4 108K mi.
'13 Kia Rio 5 LX 70k mi.
'18 Kia Soul 40k mi. Daily
'64 Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk
'66 International Harvester pickupComment

May be true, but also consider the HP that .65 liter can produce. My nighthawk is a 650, and it produces 20 more HP than a stock festiva.Don't know about mileage, but wouldn't that 650 make it a 0.65 liter?
Maybe more than that if I got one of those ebay chips for it. :lol: :lol:

Hey make a Briggs and Stratton spin fast enough without blowing up, and it'll have more horsepower than a Bugatti Veyron. Just very little torque. Honda has been doing this little magic trick for years.
Horsepower=(Torque X RPM)/5252, IIRC.Axlander9289, brother of ThisVelologist
