What type of Escort is it? If somebody else has downloaded this please leave a post.. My connection is too slow for me to waste time getting it if its anything other than a Mk1 or Mk2 - unless it is particularly impressive.

Cheers...

AndiThompson

it's a Mk II, bloody quick anyway, sounds pretty cool too..

Gompo

Oh cool, thanks mate.. looks like i will have to give it a go - even though its nearly 30megs!

Cheers..

Not sure about the styling though (or lack of ) Looks very quick for a bike engined car. I though bike engines didn't really have enough torque for cars.

It's a common misconception that bike engines don't have enough torque for cars. An 1100 Kawasaki engine will certainly produce more torque (and power ) than an 1100 Ford engine as fitted to a Mk2 Popular Plus. Or a 1 litre Metro engine...

I saw a bike engined bedford rascal a couple of years ago with a yamaha R1 engine in it and it really struggled off the line and rascals don't weigh alot.

that black bath tub, xr2 or whatever it is called made by craig and co has a 1300 cc bike engine, weighs **** all, and is still a mare to get off the line.

R1 is about 75 in 1st ... 175 in 6th

yes but the rear axle ratio would be different between an R1 and a rascal. I have it doing a 0-60 run on home video at home and first gear was very long. I don't think the aero dynamics on a rascal would allow it to do 175 mph but it would be funny if it did

p.s. my 98 fireblade (918cc version) made 70.1 lb-ft @ 7780 RPM on holeshot racings dyno and R1's would make more. which is probably a bit more than a standard bedford rascal.

suspect the gearing may well be the factor here. a R1 1st gear will probably top 60 in first(not sure not ridden one) and a standard rascal gearbox probably does about 15 in 1st.
