Guess your considering the Atomic. Mods could be made to the chassis to take different engines. You should take an engine/swing arm to RTR when you order and they will just charge an hourly rate to make mods. That could be £100-£200. On the other hand as you mentioned you had 2 engines... oh now you got me thinking, a 4 wheel drive twin bike engined car perhaps, now that would be EXTREME

No bike engined Rockets so far but so many people have now talked about it, it's bound to happen soon. Bike engined cars are glorious for driving very quickly and making lots of noise but utterly rubbish in a traffic jam. The bike engined Rocket looms ever closer...

Hi Andy p here I was looking at putting a 1300cc suzuki engine in my rocket but the I V A and reverse for bike enging kit cars is a prob . but after having a drive in stiggy's rocket it made sence to go with the ford motor.

Closer than ever now. Took a deposit on Saturday from a chap who "IS" definitely going to build the first bike engined Rocket. He has done his research and reckons that the weight saving of the powerplant over the Zetec unit make this practical. I think Blackbird powerplant was mentioned but R1 and GSXR1000 were also talked about.
Can't wait for the shoot out at Curborough (providing he gets his skates on...)

Hi all
my 1st post, this is exactly what im wanting, was gunna buy a 7 styled kit car to put my hayabusa engine in but love the rockets looks. are you any closer to designing a chassis to take a motorbike engine/box ? or can a car chassis be used without much hassle ? hope it can be done soon as im itching to buy a rocket...
