reTRD Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 4age is looking a hell of a lot cheaper than messing around with k motorsthough 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.
