drove a Birken

[JesseSays]

This is basically what I drove. The car I drove was 2L Zetec powered, and pretty loaded out as far as amenities go. Everything was finished off quite nicely.

I think the "power of the dark side" has caught me totally. This was the 3rd Se7en type car I've driven, and they are just too cool. There are things that these cars can do that nothing else besides a go-kart can do. These things make Miatas and Mini Coopers look huge. I want one....really really badly.

So, K series powered 323 goes on the backburner as project car number 1.

Project is now a Sylva/Fisher Motorsports Fury.

thoughts right now are to have a full windshield car, but without the doors or anything like that. Probably 3sge powered, since I like the torque over the 1600cc powerplants that are most often seen. I'd do a Honda motor in a heartbeat if there weren't so many issues coming from the things rotating the wrong way.

Probably very dark metallic green, with possibly a stripe of some sort. MiniLite wheels for sure. And most definately an IRS rear end.

Yes....this will become a reality, eventually.

thats sweet, what r top spped on those things, and did you beat it when you drove it or just babied it??

I was trying to show the owner where the course was, as he was getting lost, so I didn't really drive it in full anger. On the other hand, like I said, this was the 3rd Lotus Se7en-a-like I've driven, the other 2 in anger.

Top speed on the Seven bodied versions is comparitively slow, due to horrible horrible aero. They are ~.7ish, which is DOUBLE cars like ours.

Being able to touch the ground while driving around by sticking your arm out the window, anything above 100 mph is going to get scary in a hurry.

I've wanted one of those ever since I was twelve.
Didn't someone do a rotary-powered one a while back?
