    Very cool project!!

    Did you pick the Mirage motor because Chevy Metro 1.0L triples are getting harder to find??

    (Reality check: people are probably looking for 100 hp twin cam G13 1.3L DOHC Suzuki motors over the 55 hp G10 triples ... I sold a Suzuki motor to an ultralight airplane builder just a couple of years ago.)

    Man I bet this thing is a ton of fun! When I was in high school this one dude I knew built a dune buggy like thing like that with a snowmobile engine and it was pretty quick. I can imagine with a car engine it's even faster.
