Probably in excess of $20K.

Been there, done that. Check out my Sport Tech at my website listed above.

I don’t recommend you do this conversion. The Miata is to heavy for a bike engine.

Cool - high revving, sweet sound, and good gas mileage.
How much would it costs, approx, to swap out my engine from my Miata to a motorcycle engine?

dose it go in reverse? if so how did you get it to do that. and is this available comercially

The Morgan was definitely an inspiration. But an extra wheel and an extra 80hp hasn’t hurt the concept!

this is actually twintech’s modern remake of the old
Morgan 3 Wheel design.
type in “Morgan 3 wheel” to see the similarity in design.

i always wanted to do this but in a regular mini car it would sound awesome going down the road
December 15th, 2009 at 10:25 am
just to be honest i think it sounds like shit just like all the other harleys load and poppy
should have used a street bike motor
December 15th, 2009 at 10:25 am
wow awsome… what kind of tranny?? did he build it himslef?
December 15th, 2009 at 10:25 am
That is cool.

i love the sound of the harley man!!cool idea and work done!!keep it up!
December 15th, 2009 at 10:25 am
FINALLY… the Harley man’s car… awesome..
December 15th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Strongly resembles the Ariel Atom.

While this is really cool… A sport bike motor could easily put out at least another 40-50 horsepower and get better gas mileage. I dunno, different strokes for different folks I guess. I would have gone rear engine and Hayabusa power personally… Then again that’s what I “would do,” you actually put your money where your mouth is and did it. Good job.

I have always considered Harley vtwin motors as well as other vtwins to be like small block chevy motors in their performance and sound and attitude they bring to the road, but putting a vtwin into a lightweight 4 wheeled chassis? Simply awesome. Where do I sign up for one with a 5/8 scale 32 ford roadster body????

Hi Cofer-engineering-robotics here in Tunnel Hill GA. Runs as well as my 80cube Roadking. What kinda transaxle is that in the rear? NEAT TOY.. Makes me want to finish the CCR Tbucket frame here. I think I like it better than a Trex. Neat build.

ive been wanting to see something like this for a looooong time
December 15th, 2009 at 10:25 am
It’s a Facet low pressure pump with a bypass to simulate gravity feed.
December 15th, 2009 at 10:25 am
that’s pretty wicked,… wat kind of feul pump did ya use for it????
December 15th, 2009 at 10:25 am
It sounds GREAT!

To the poster of the video, I’d recommend you check out dpcars [dot] net. Guy named Dennis Palatov, with similar scratch-built-car ideas, but a different goal.
Congrats and keep up the good work.

If I could keep my foot out of it, about 35 mpg, but it’s too much fun to not to use all 120 horses so I get about 25.

what kind of fuel economy does it get?
