It's been fun, but this place is done. I have no hatred, and appreciate the good times. But this place now belongs to Tony and his pink mini.

Are you thinking of the beer-drinking fella named after some genitalia ?
Wonder what happened to him...

Not a bike engine per se, but our lemons car has 1/2 a bike engine in it... BMW K1100 16valve twin cam. Running the Micro squirt engine management. We are all new to programming ECU's and while it goes pretty good out on the track (we are currently chasing a dead spot around 3000 rpms that makes the car fall on it's face when exiting a corner...) I drove it to work a couple times and then drove it over to Port Angeles for a race weekend and it was TERRIBLE on the street! Couldn't pull away from a light unless it was at 3000+ and then would do a big burnout, not what you want when you are trying to be inconspicuous...
Worked on the tune a bunch more and the car is now very streetable, will pull from a light and drive very sedately.
Not sure the point of all that rambling other than the need to tell someone we figured out some ECU stuff.
Still has a bit of a dead spot when coming off/going back on throttle though...

There's a guy in LA area who did a rear engine K series conversion and thanks to Alex's reminder I do seem to recall it was a Zcars.
I'll crawl back under my rock/bridge.

Not loud at all.
Brians car is unbelievably civilised, and I'd bet a slab of beer that it is quieter than yours*.
*Your imaginary Mini that is, the one you won't photograph or video, and certainly won't ever have the balls to attend MME or MMW with.
