twobone Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 http://www.albico.net/page14.html 480 KG Fireblade Seven. I bet that thing just rips!
Spaz Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I own a CBR powered 7 a lot like this and I can tell you it flys. 0-4 in about 4 seconds. I never knew Catherman made one powered by a CBR 900. Thank you for posting.
danilo Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Caterham (indirectly) makes a Hayabusa powered Cat.. in Canada :-) So you Can buy one http://super7cars.com/
turboeric Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Caterham (indirectly) makes a Hayabusa powered Cat.. in Canada :-) So you Can buy one http://super7cars.com/ Sadly, not for 18,000 pounds.
twobone Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 i know its nuts.....the cdn model is selling for 2.2 times the price
supersportsp Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 480 KG Fireblade Seven. Porker. How about a 400 kg Westfield FW400 with a 190hp/150ft.lbs 1.8 K series Rover. http://www.google.com/url?source=imgres&ct=img&q=http://www.jonrb.com/cars/pics/fw400.jpg&sa=X&ei=YKNZTeKDN4-WsgPMg4i6BQ&ved=0CAQQ8wc&usg=AFQjCNEo6_49P7MZAYMVHtrKB86Y91JUTA
yellowss7 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 That's my motor, and yes it's very light. But 400kg. Wow!! My Caterham weighs in at 529 kg. or 1164 pounds vs the 880 lbs of that westfield. Wow again!!! Tom
Hank Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) I like rollcages that stick ABOVE my head thankyouverymuch. And if you hit just the right way (think Murphy and his law here) that cage will bend over and snap your head off. Edited February 14, 2011 by Hank
BusaNostra Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 i will not move & live in uk just for seven....my baggage is lighter here in the usa
JohnCh Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 That's my motor, and yes it's very light. But 400kg. Wow!! My Caterham weighs in at 529 kg. or 1164 pounds vs the 880 lbs of that westfield. Wow again!!! A carbon fiber monocoque is a great way to reduce weight. Just wish they were still making that car... -John
danilo Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 i know its nuts.....the cdn model is selling for 2.2 times the price Surprisingly pricey! But from looking closely at one, there IS a quality improvement over 'normal' Cat product. (The man used to race those huge orange Can Am cars) Still, he charges for it. Shipping from the UK for a Car is surprisingly reasonable and Registration is only required for Street licensing. In which case a 15 yr old car will be happily 'allowed' street registration. A 1996 Cat, plus a wrecker Hayabusa for 3 to 5K $ and you've got a 'project'
Automoda Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Yes. 3 cheers for the UK and the Magic Roundabout. After about your fifth pass through it you'd have your tires warmed up and you could really have some fun. http://i.imgur.com/Nj9zn.jpg
