Its a strange feeling sometimes by the rev,s - 10,000rpm in top feels like 160 mph, but depending on the diff you may not see 120mph!
A polite word i too had a Scamp with a Honda CBR1100RRXX motor, it had a few changes of rad the best i found was a alloy mk2 Golf 1.6 one,(cheapish £55) but you will need a fan.
Best for air flow was straight upright with a 13 row oil cooler 1/4 inch in front. Whilst i know its own rad does a great job in the bike it may struggle with the extra loading of the Scamp chassis.
Air flowed around the engine as mine was in the front, yours is couped up behind you.
Was it carb,d or injection, A dynojet kit helps.(Carbs)
Ttfn 4x4 Rob.

I'm sure I'll get used to the sound, just like I have in every other car I've driven...
Top speed's not the reason we're building it, so I'll be happy with a ton.
We're going to see how the ZZR rad fares up first, and yes we've got a fan.
Got an oil cooler as well.
Engine will have ducting.
I'm leaving the dynojet kit bit to Reg... He worked in the motorbike shop from the age of 16, and only had bikes as transport for 10yrs solid.


Elaine.

Now then go back to where /who supplied your chassis mine was front engined with some fibre glass bodywork, built in 1999/2000. engine from car to bike in 2003.167 bhp. 0-60 about 4 secs. bloody good fun can get on your nerves on the road.(Too many im just going for a sunday drive dear about) Best around Cadwell park, the only track for me! Im looking forward to the end result very interesting,cheers for now Elaine

Got ya now!

Mine be at Stoneleigh next year.

Elaine, Rob meant Striker when he said Scamp.

Thanks James.

James, yeah we gathered that (in the end). In our defence we never saw it, so couldn't remember it
I wonder if Allan's still got his? I'll have to drop him an email to see how he is these days.

Engine is back out now due to a leaking clutch seal.

So whilst its out its having:

295 head
twin hs2's
sw05-07 cam

should be good for 55-60 hp when its up and running.

The block's painted yellow and everyone knows yellow things are the most powerful and fastest!

Whoopee!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, I've got about 3 of those 1100 speedos, I used to have one in red scamp, it was o.k. just had a job finding the right gearing in the gearbox, I still use the ange drive on my present scamp.

Which shade of yellow

Mk3rob wrote:Which shade of yellow

I think I've had most of the shades of yellow, if you compare the new paint in 2000 to the 10 year old paint now.......

not major update really just thought id show you what the dash looks like on the scamp.



Also have got hold of a steering wheel which seems to fit the scamp.



dont know what its off though...does fit the steering column but does anyone know what it would have been off?

(have now found out that it's off a triumph tr7

A bit of a progress report...




seats fitted.



offered up some frontera bullbars ive shortened.




painted my logo!


its geting there!

Good Man...keep it up! Good choice of engine colour....very traditional....and therefore very retro-cool

Looking good.

It lives!!!.....not properly tuned yet but engine unit is now complete and running (soz for jerky video had to compress it a lot!)

Its a step forward.....

Love the snorkel, didnt realise the floods were that bad up norf.

Woodstock could do with one of those, well the exhaust spends most of its time in the back anyway
and
it would keep the kids feet warm

just a small visual update...



just got all the fiddly stuff now like heat shielding and roofing to do now and then it can go for its MOT hopefully.

Hopefully the 'reveal' is on for this weekend. We have the dry ice and strobes, but struggling on the girls side !!!

Anyone got any suggestions/ideas !!!

In this weather i dont think it will make any difference

Oo er missus

Just bobble hats and wellies would be interesting
