  • www.hoonigan.com/ We don't care if you put out more power than this car with your 7 speed Huffy, we're still going to thrash it. ACP Pushed his MG Midget harder than any of us thought it could go and pulled out some legit Rockford turns. Don't know what that is? Educate yourself.
    Also, ACP and Scotto have a show coming to the Discovery channel Monday, April 17th @10pm. Check it.

    I had a '64 Renault R8 in high school. 1700 pounds, 43 hp from 1108 cc's, 4.12 gears. The water-cooled engine was hung waaay out back. With sacked out swing axle rear suspension and rock-hard weather-checked 135/15 Michelins, it would do the sweetest donuts all day...

    Don't know if it's possible but it be awesome to disconnect the Busa motor from the transmission of the motorcycle and then have like Collins adapters or somebody make you a special adapter to go from the Busa motor to the midget transmission so you still had reverse and everything and actually made that into a really super nice car with real power, nice modern suspension, and stuff.
