Get the dturbo!

[padge]

don't get a white one, there shit.

[Wor Jimmy]

I hear the white ones are slower like

Get the dturbo!

I'd rather a Diesel anyway

[sam]

D turbo

[Wor Jimmy]

Keep an eye out for me peeps? Within 100 miles of Ne63 / under £400

[Wor Jimmy]

F it.. Under 200 miles lol

Clutch is easily enough controllable with a cable, likewise with the throttle, however changing gears with a pedal, need to have a hard think about up down changing.

Clutch and throttle will be pedal.

Gearstick will still be the left hand. but just up/down, or forward/back in this case lol

Forward = down shift
Back = Upshift.

[Wor Jimmy]

Got an engine and some parts lined up

[Midnightclub]

So, you're using the 306 chassis for the trike base...??

Nope, Just engine lol nothing special

[Midnightclub]

Riiiiiiight! That makes a lot more sense lol.. Was trying to work out in my head how you'd make a robin reliant-306

Updating the post now lol . cheers for the heads up.

[cully]

goodluck getting that through IVA/SVA

[Tom]

If you find a way to make an xud box sequential i will be wanting one!

[Eeyore]

Good luck! I'd love a sequential box!

[Wor Jimmy]

goodluck getting that through IVA/SVA

Like i said.. its all subject to change
For now my main goal is to keep it under 450kg
I've got a check list of what is needed for it to not fail..

had a hard enuff job finding out if i could actually ride this thing on a Full UK bike licence. Any engine size.. must be under 450kg, 3 wheels.

Is there any manual cars with seqs? not the semi or autos.

Failing that a heavily modded bike gearbox lol (Torque/power maybe an issue as it may just blow the box up)

[Martin306]

Regulations are strict, but there's no reason that won't pass MSVA.

Also, as for the sequential thing, that would be easy with a few bell cranks and levers since you'd have space to do it.


there's a guy in the netherlands that put a TUD5 into a motorbike slightly on topic being diesel and not proper car

[Tom]

Sequential shifting is just such epic win.

[procta]

be interesting to see, be like building a kit car in away.

[Wor Jimmy]

Sequential shifting is just such epic win.

I'm doing it out of lazyness... by creating more work for my self..

I Love bikes, and keeping it up/down on gears will make it so i love the trike more lol

---

Basicly yeah, just more bodging made to look right

[Dean]

I've seen a manual box turned into a sequential box, but involves electronics, solenoids etc.

Basically a control box to move in a H pattern, but with only up and down shifts, looks a bit complex.

---

Either that, or finding a DSG Gearbox and adapting it to fit on a 306... but that would be paddles on the steering wheel rather than a stick shifter.

But I imagine that DSG Boxes carry a hefty price tag.

Clutch + gearbox clutch arm.

[Wor Jimmy]

This part is just for fun.. Might not be on the build..

I don't see why this Can't/Won't work
But I may try and mount the gearbox at the front. with the engine backwards? Is this possible!?

The gearbox doesn't even need to be attached to the engine. the the shafts need to be connected

I'd be KEEPING the XUD clutch, taking the clutch off the motorbike gearbox and attaching a straight cog/gear to the clutch input shaft

[Tom]

Would of thought all that torque plus the load from a weighty car/trike/vehicle would destroy a bike box :/

[Martin306]

just fit an auto box, sequential right there!

you can get shift kits too for some gearboxes.

[Wor Jimmy]

Quuuuuuite possible.

I've got a fj1200, runs at 130bhp on the crank / 95 at the wheel / no turbo @ 80ft/lb ..
bottom ends/boxes are bulletproof

Stock is about 100ft/lb on a standard 1.9 Xud DT?? (feel free to correct)

I've seen these FJ boxes running 30+ psi of boost from a turbo on a drag bike (not sure what that adds in torque?)

Only one way to find out (if cost / Practicality allow)

Trying to use what i have to keep cost down .. Maybe.

Link me these auto box thingymajiggies you are talking of?

[Mitch]

I think stock torque is 145 ft/lbs could be wrong though..
