Remiss of me not to mention a strange project a forum member on the UK Z1 Owners Club recently did, where he fitted a Z900 engine into a mobility scooter. What could possibly go wrong :pinch:

I've joked about doing this with a spare Z13 engine

I just hope the guy isn't finished the "project" yet. I see a nice set of aluminium wheels with Kart slicks and 4 wheel Brembo disc brakes. And I think if he gets it up into fifth gear, maybe a shute for the back of the seat. What a scream at the 1/4 mile track.

Oh that just awesome and hilarious.

I have a spare running motor and if I don't sell it I was going to put it in an MG or a Fiat or something. If I do I will definitely post it here.

Need some inspiration? How 'bout a KZ13Smart car to outdo the Smart Busa?
