It'll cause pipe rot by not allowing them to reach full vibrational density at higher RPM.

Do it. Probably get a heat shield for that can while you're at it.

OP here. So, I feel I ought to elaborate a little.

I'm in the market for a fun second car, something light and analogue which I might maybe track occasionally (I used to race karts a long time back; was shit at it, but it was good fun) but that wouldn't be its main job. I know the more normal, sane thing to do would be just get an MX5 or ZZW30 or whatever. However, this particular car just happens to be being sold by a friend of a family member, and it just seems a much, much more interesting option.

Questions is would I just be buying the entirely wrong thing for the job and cursing myself to a completely miserable ownership experience, or would it still be entirely competent if rather excessive for use mainly as a fun road car?

That barely registers as a joke, that just looks fucking retarded.

Nonracer detected.
Pretty much every racetrack has, or is getting stricter and stricter on noise rules.
You have to keep your car or bike quiet enough to race, or the track ultimately gets shutdown for noise pollution.
Noisefags and emissionsfags are ruining our little hobby

Is that different to car fuel?

Go for a run out in it. They’re brutal. Make sure it’s got a reverse (electric or otherwise) and see what it’s like in traffic

They are pretty unique. Busa engined cars are the most “car like” out of all the BEC options but for fast road use they’re overkill and are still more suited to the track. All that said, 10k of car for something that will be faster than a 911 Turbo is a steal

I see, so the post was poorly written.
Perhaps rephrase as
>These are the pads from a motorbike's fuel tank
>>
>>28824970
Some of these had Transit fuel tanks that were chopped and welded. OP, is it a Q plate? Factory or home build? Reverse or no reverse?

there’s a reason nearly all of these have low miles on them and tend to be used as track weapons

They can only be used for very short periods of time without being utterly useless.
