Oh MAN if I had the money... As soon as I do have the money though, I'm buying me a Smart, a Suzuki Hayabusa, and making them into one...

I'd go for a turbo Hayabusa, in a Barracuda

That is sweet, I love the whole sleeper idea.

Man if I still had my first car:

It had a 1.3 liter 4 cyl engine, which would be perfect to do a Hayabusa swap to. The car only weighed 1500 pounds. Even with the normal motor, the thing hauled balls!

Was kinda sad when I had to sell it.

I would love a turbo hayabusa smart though... Pull up to the red light next to the guy in the mustang and see the look on his face when you rev the engine. Aahahaha

I do not think that cars is 1500 lbs. I could be wrong but thats pretty light.

They were (from memory) about 850kgs, that's about 1800lbs?

Those are insane fun little things, we had a few turbo ones over here, a friends friend had a modified one, you shoulda seen the look on peoples faces when a bog stock looking Daihatsu Charade would leave them behind!

I've always wanted to get one of the earlier turbo Charades and mod the crap out of it.

If I was going to put a bike engine in a car it's be a FIAT 126, there's tons of bike engined 126s in Europe, some one managed to fit a Chevy V8 in one too, does 9 second quarters.

Thanks

Doh'! I was off 300 pounds. Close enough guess though. Mine was also a 2 door instead of a 4 door and had a lot of the inside paneling removed. The entire AC and power steering system had also been removed.

The only thing I hated about the car is that they are so rare in the States that it's impossible to find parts. I remember the passenger CV shaft going out and the car sat for 6 months before I could get to the nearest driveshaft remanufacturing place and get it rebuilt. (I live about an hour away from everything). I bought it when it had around 180,000 miles on it. When I sold it, it had 230,000+ miles and it was still running strong.

Other than that, I loved that thing so much. Small, fast, sporty, fuel efficient and reliable.

Then when I bought the Jeep, one of them had to go because our driveway was like a wal-mart parking lot because of all the vehicles. Had to choose the Daihatsu because the Jeep had only 60k miles on it, had a better market for parts, and had a lot more storage room since I am starting college soon.
