| I've reached a critical point in the build of the City... engine mounting...
The plan was to use a ZX10 (4 pot, 1000cc 150bhp Carb fed) which i already have, with the idea of being upgraded to ZX10R or ZX12 in the future...
BUT a grasser mate of mine has just offered me a PAIR of Aprilia Millies (V twin, 1000cc, 140bhp, joined together to make a 2.0l 280bhp V4)
Obvious benifits of the Millies are... CHEAPER when i break one! They run injection, so easier to tune, a lot more compact, and all importantly... lighter!!
Help!? | |

| Yup... but i've answered my own question now.
The sheer mechanics of running both engines, to a solid axle, then to the diff if pointless. The amount of loss caused through the running gear will outweigh the power gain! | |

| Get it up and running with what you have already imo. The upgrade later to the bigger engine like the original plan. 2 engines would make an already complicated and long build even more hastle...........
Basicly I just want you to finish it and give me a go | |
