    just missing a "U"


    I got a ? yr S80 Hijet
    seat belt tags got gone
    Vin JDA000S8000301202
    2WD / LHD



    the engine was in the bed and missing parts....2 main caps/dist.lots of bolts
    gold mine of parts came with it, almost everything to rebuild the engine
    all stuff I do not need
    if anybody wants a list of goodies all 10 yrs old N.O.S. (still in wrappers)
    pm me your e-addy
    if i piss off the powers that be....edit this out of the post please
    this is stuff that i don't need and will help with the cost offset
    if you are near North Carolina i'll make a deal if you show up

    I got the bed off and washed the mung off of the truck
    fabbed a pair of metro wheels to fit on the back for rollers
    I have a 2007 GSXR 750 wreck....nothing like a little more power on a budget(somewhere near 150 HP)
    engine has been sitting in the basement for 2+ yrs
    going to make a few measurements this week and start fabbing a cradle

    wish me luck
    worst case ..... will have a 2wd roller for sale in the future

    So....you're going to put a gsxr motor in it?
    Why not go with a busa motor?

    150...180 hp.....same to the butt-o-meter
    what is a busa gunna do.....spin the tars faster

    modified the cradle and got the engine sitting in there with tack welds
    tilted the engine so the drive shaft shouldn't bind
    have to get a different drive shaft and work out the electric reverse

    anybody need some S80 engine parts(new in plastic)?
    I think the carb is NEW!!!! but some dirt from sitting with the float out.

    Speaking of this sort of thing...

    Did anyone ever see the smart car with the busa engine?
    Looks like it turns like a boat & is pretty funny looking while it's doing it.
    I'm excited about following this build.

    Get some pictures up here dude!

    I already cut a hole in the bed actually only a little bigger that the access hole

    today, I got about 80% of the shifter linkage built

    yesterdays stupidity was....
    nobody to help install the engine/cradle
    so I put it on a jack behind the truck and dead lifted the back frame rail to my chest
    then walked backwards over the engine and dropped the truck
    back is hurtin' today, some days you would think age=wisdom
    whittled the throttle cable end with a Dremel to fit the bike linkage

    still missing some bike parts so i'll probably start modifying the harness instead of buying good parts just for the wires/plug attached to them

    exhaust is mostly on
    shifter is good....using stock truck parts
    throttle is on....using stock(modified) truck part
    clutch is almost on...using stock truck part....I have to weld a part and a bracket or two to be able to use stock parts
    still looking at the coolant tubes for a match up looking like a Geo Metro part might work with a modification
    need to find out fuel pressure for the injection and get a pump
    a couple of switches and bypass an interlock an it might be very close to running
    and another lawn mower battery
