    I'm building up a trike as well. Its a Schwinn Meridian three-wheeled bike I call "The Nerd Mobile" that I bought for crusing around the neighborhood to garage sales and to the grocery store. I keep threatening to modify it by adding an engine and bicycle gearing to replace the single speed unit it has now, but other projects have taken priority and my design keeps changing.
    The latest idea is to add a front electric drive wheel kit to it and power it with light-weight vehicle batteries and a small generator from harbor freight to have a sort of gas-engine/electric thing as a sort of power assist for pedaling. We'll see if it actually gets built like this or if I change it. Right now its just fun to ride around.

    I have a 2003 Mini Cooper S that I have taken from stock 168hp to 240hp on the dyno. It is a blast, and still returns a combined 30mpg.

    I think we need to see that idea come to life.:waytogo:

    I think a motor out of a moped would work. Still get good gas mileage to zip around.

    Here's my 91 4cyl off road project.I am by no means an offroader but I love to hunt and I needed a good truck to get me to those tough areas we have here on Guam.I have brought this truck a long way but still have plans for the future.It's also fun to go from a dropped truck to a lifted truck whenever you feel like.[img/[​IMG]

    87 custom
    My current daily, a 94 camry 4dr 5 speed
    Hopefully drop it before work today
    Put some tiburon 17's on it, an intake and exaust, have a header I haven't installed yet( all funds got re routed to the 22re I just picked up)

    Also have a 85 celica that I hope to finish by Christmas (my present to me)
    22rte that has 30k miles on a rebuild(got it out of a 86.5 rust runner I picked up for 400 bucks) low milage w58, supra ct26 w/t3 manifold. Oem truck clutch

    I just need to figure out what injectors to run, swap on the 22re head I have laying around, get a 89 up upper plentum or just hack and weld a 60mm flange on the turbo manifold, and get a intercooler piping kit.
