Robin Hood News

[Guest timswait]

A light-weight robin hood!! I thought that was an oxy-moron, can you get scaffolding tube in aluminium now or something? Next thing you know they'll be making one which fits together!!

[Guest timswait]

Having said that, it does look pretty cool. My 2b's been behaving reliably recently, someone told me that when that started happening it was time to look for a new project!

[Guest Malcolm Binns]

How about a bike engined bolteon? would be the first robin hood capable of the required power to weight?

unless you fit a proper engine in a hood in the first place instead of the pinto anchor

[Guest chris]

How about a Zetec SE ? ALL aluminium 180 bhp @8000rpm and only a 1600cc!!

Also, has anyone noticed that the configuration of the engine is the same as the good old pinto(ie inlet and outlet same )?Ideal pinto upgrade I would think for

the future.

180 i laugh in the face of such small hp

[Guest chris]

230 plus bhp in development as we speak!

190 bhp was achieved using standard crankshaft and rods!
