Hi All,
Just about to get into the world of autos.
If you could pick any auto engine to tune/improve/make fast which one would it be and why?
Thx Wayne

piaggio rolling nut 125 2t engine, either air or water cooled. Tried and tested, lots of tuning parts available, makes from 20 - 35 bhp depending on the state of tune.

Cheers mate,
I've heard of the rolling nut engines, I fancy LC. Do you know which models/year have these motors?

Also where's the best place to pic one up? Currently looking on gumtree and eBay. Are there any decent auto forums about?
Stay tuned..............

Sources of a LC two stoke engines would be Piaggio Hexagon 125-180 and Gilera Runner/ Italjet Dragster 125-180, great engines even standard and as previously mentioned- mountains of tuning goodies Paul

Dragsters have been hard to find, and I'm struggling to work out which runners are 2t or 4t. Was there a year when they went 4t or were both types produced in tandem?
Stay tuned..............

Try lambretta autos on Facebook.
Or lambretta innovations website.
2t engines are most peoples preference. A few people are using 4t engines now though.

Gotta be 2t for me
Stay tuned..............
If its for a lammy auto conversion it would be a lot easier to use the air cooled engine, thats what i did when i built my S2 auto, no need to worry about radiator positioning, routing water pipes etc. They are only a couple of bhp behind the lc equivilant and 25bhp is still easily attainable.
The a/c engine was used in piaggio typhoons and the aprillia sr 125's.
Try PSN scooters in Batley, they might be able to hook you up with something.
