higheroctane69 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I have the zx 12 in my buggy with a five link in the rear a arms up front. Oh and have 930 cvs. Love the streetbike motors fast reliable power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Is a ZX9 motor a 900cc? If so that might be a tad small for a 2 seater, but a small single seater it might work out ok. It might make ok HP, but the torque may be lacking. I'm not 100% sure as I am not too familiar with that motor. My car also uses a 5 link setup with 930 CV's.
