3TJ TRX850 Update
Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2012 12:44 pm
Well it's been a while since I mentioned this but I now have some news.
It's not good but it's news.
Fitting the TRX engine in a 3TJ it beyond my skill. The engine is just too long and it would worry me about catching the front wheel between the exhausts under breaking so I have halted the project.
I'm not saying it can't be done but various cutting and welding of the frame would be needed to get the engine far enough back and high enough up. I just don't feel skilled enough to cut a frame, weld it up and know it's strong enough.
I may just use the cycle parts to build a 4/6 hybrid though? Could be fun on the road!!
