Tailgating my Hatch doesnt increase the horsepower of the F5A
Don't know for cert. but reckon an F6a/b could be set up to sound like that. Otherwise there has been some talk of Hyabusa engines being used... not that this Hatch demonstrates that sort of power.
So many delays to getting my MB back in order with 993cc & 5 speed transaxle... neighbor issue gone, donor shell up on rotisserie, new sheds on the way.... another project also..
Bike motor in the rear for sure - the intake on the side is a giveaway. CBR900 engines are popular, but your guess is as good as mine!
F8B EFI turbo - Three pots and a snail.
That green hatch doesnt have much oomph just a little noise and could be much faster with
well sorted supercharged g10 or F10 in the rear with lsd, fwd G series box would be perfect
or even better G13B with some cams, pipes and extra compression.

anyone found more info on this little green beast?
I think even a small 700cc bike engine with sequential gearing would be awesome for a hatch the problem is sorting out the rear drive when layed out in the back like this one has done. I reckon it would be easier at the front using a Honda v4 from a Pan European but its 1300cc! with a prop shaft to the back with LSD sierra diff.

If you can provide a write-up with pics it'd be great to feature it on the front page of the website.
