4age is looking a hell of a lot cheaper than messing around with k motors

though k motors do have a nice sound, power and revs are the limiting factor

 

I'm not out for over all power. i am doing it to be different really and would love to having a wickedlly cool k motor that will pull stupid rpm ;D. the thing you got to remember is the motor is going into a kp starlet and onlys weights like 650/800kgs and anything better than the factory 2k motor is blisteringly fast haha. if i was going for over all power i would convert to 13Btas we can do so over here in NZ and have it legal on the road with out worrying bout the :) as long as it is certifyed.

true, though 3k's with there shorter stroke are a fair bit more reliable at higher rpm than a 4/5k

love to see pics when you do it though

haha yea trust me i would love to have myself a starlet cup car :dance:. or just the 3k-r.

 

my thing should be reliable enough to stay a daily driver once it is done we are not going stupidly overboard but everything is going to be done propperly

 

once i have some more bits and pieces sorted and have started to mock stuff up ill post pics in my project thread.
