Hey
i have a typhoon 125 and an aerox 50.....and i was wondering would the typhoon 125 engine fit in the aerox 50.
If it does isit almost a stright swap?
if not how hard would it be to make it fit?
thanks

its a cut n stick job, not a simple swap, look at typh engine mounts and look at rox ones.

ok thanks, im only doing it because the typhs needs an mot and its not goin to pass easy lol. so at 1st i was going to sell the typh for £300 and buy the aerox off a friend, but i couldnt sell the typh :( so i bought the areox anyway :) for £250 (02 plate, 15K kilometers and mot till sept 08) :). not to much of a bad deal ehh??
ill try have a look tonight at the mounts.

puttinmg the typh through an mot is FAR easier than doing a piggyrox.. mot it and it should get good money as therer pritty sought after now

yea but, i wouldnt mind going though the hassle of making the rox look better. i may just sell the typh for £250 and then spend the £250 on tuning the rox up :)
but i wouldnt be able to do much with £250 and a rox lol:(
Wat would you do if you were in my shoes? :)
MiNoR cOnFuSiOn#6
sell the rox an sort the typh... the money from the rox weill get you a 172 and 25mm carb.. good for 15ish bhp alone. will cost a grand to get that power from a rox engine
A D D S T E R#7
yea i guess....but i dont have a job so i wont afford 2 run a 172 (unless ther not that bad on petrol?) and my car :( how many miles to the gallon u recon il get out of the 172?
thanks
MiNoR cOnFuSiOn#8
mpg? :msn1: r u for real?

172 does over 60mpg easily.. i dont really know with just a 172 fitted as its not somthing i concern myself with. also i usually fit a hell of alot more parts than this. doesent kill fuel tho (can do around ten miles on 3 quid running a 25 on a semi ported barrel)

could just get a job.. pritty sure your benifits dont cover your insurance anyway..
everybody needs to work. qonly way to get the things you want
