Mind you, it's rather special! It is a 2006-conversion, of a 2003 car. RHD.
It now has a low-mileage Suzuki Hyabusa engine, where the original motor sat and, although it doesn't have forced induction, has just over 200 bhp at the output shaft.
A 6-speed sequential button-shift and power-retaining chain-drive, means serious shove from what looks from the outside like a barely-fettled Smart!
fair play you nutter. MC sequential gearboxes can be a tedious, but as occasional cars should be ok, and nice to have something unique, specially if u r a car buff.

Why would instant shifts via a button be boring? Huh?

have a look at the westfield site, they explain it best there. The going up and down, but its all part of the character, just would be hard work all the time, no probs for a fun car.
The Honda S800 Coupe now needs a new home and the racing bike and supermoto motorcycle will have to help pay for it! (The Honda should make £15K, the Husqvarna £6K and the Focus bike £2K.)
Mid-February i should have this and have just been told of everything which, ideally, still needs doing. (Which isn't much, really). I have found out that air-con and sound-proofing, among other odds and ends, has long since made way, in the name of simplicity and lightness. Might be bloody hot in summer!
That's amazingly cheap. This is not a give-away, but has had a huge amount of money spent, on getting the weight down, the power up and the traction up, whilst preserving reliability. The brakes/suspension mods were £3000 alone.
