here are pixs of my mini marcos with its cbr 1000, this car is the reason i joined to help learn more about this motors, thanks again to everyones help.

 

That is cool as chit, man!
I'e seen these motors in go-carts and such, but never in a small car.
Very neat!
I have to ask how fast it goes... Also, do you have any pics of the dashboard? Is there an inside tach and speedo and stuff? Just wondering.

 

I wonder if they would let me on the golf coarse with that thing?????????

 

cool little car as for the golf coarse the golfers might get a bit pissed

 

beautiful.

 

That thing must go like **** off a shovel.....!!!!!!

 

thanks all, she moves very well, about 1100 lbs so more weight to get going than a bike but no need to worry about flipping it on a wheelie when you mash the pedal to the floor.

answer: i used the gauge pod from a 1991 cbr, i cut off the upper row of dummy lights, wired in the instrument lights and the blinkers as well as the tach. i could wire in the speedo and calibrate it but the nifty little box that does this costs $450 so for right now i drove a couple standard speeds next to the wifes car so i know what the tach should read in what gear to get me 55, 30, 45, etc.

only issue i am having now is carbs, i fully rebuilt them and replaced a couple broken parts, they seem to run too lean with the k&n filters, the bike shop that was helping me adjusted the needles to be a little richer but it still drys up with fuel above 7500 rpm, any ideas from anyone about a new needle size? or what the fuel pressure should be at? i have it at 2lbs now. thanks, jim

 

cbr900rr do not measure fuel pressure on board because they don use a fuel pump, they gravity feed from the tank, but you might want to try to go up a couple sixes on the main jet if you are having problems in the 7500 rpm range then i would go up 2 to 3 sizes and see what that does for you

 

Nice little motor there Jim , did you keep the Honda gearbox as well? Sorry if that's a stupid question

Nice to see these engines live again!

 

yes, uses the stock 6 speed sequential tranny and a ford sierra diff at the rear.
