Hey Guys and Gals,

My name is Justin, and I just traded a few things for an old 1985 ATC 70 with a 110cc swap. <=== Not sure how cool that is, but I thought it was pretty sweet. I actually took a gamble on this, the kid said it didn't run but all it would need is new fluids. Needless to say, without the new fluids and everything it fired right up, i think the throttle is stuck open though so I gotta get that figured out. I traded about $150 of my old military equipment for it, so I think I made out on top. Anyways, just wanted to state my hellos before I head into the forums.

Thanks,
Justin

Here's a pic of the bike. I can't wait to ride it!!

Welcome aboard! I've seen people put chinese clone motors into 70's, but never a Honda 110 (bigger bottom end) that must be a tight squeeze!

well, thats how i got it, and it seems to fit snug. never know these days, it COULD be a chinese clone (with honda logos? if it's possible), but the kid i bought it from goes to a local tech school for automotives, and his teacher had the engine laying around and let him put it in. So not quite sure if it's the real deal or not, but if it's not he sure did a hell of a job making it look legit. i had it running earlier, but now it just won't start. So i think i might have to do a valve adjustment. i'll work on that tomorrow.

anyways, thanks for the welcome!

That looks like a legit Honda engine, based on the head mounting hole on the front of the engine, never seen a chinese one with that mounting point. The reason I say it must be a tight fit is that Honda used an larger bottom end on the 90/110 engines versus the 50/70 engines. All the clones I have seen, and even the late model Honda TRX90 engines are built off the smaller Honda 50/70 crankcases.

Welcome fellow Okie. I have been wanting to trade a friend out of his 70. This really makes me want to get one.

That's an awesome trade man, I want a 70 as my next project. Welcome to the board, what's done to your srt since I can't help but ask lol

Thanks! where abouts in OK are you?! Yea, I love this thing! i just wish i could get it started! haha.

actually, i sold it a couple years ago it was my favorite car ever. i bought it new, had it paid off in 3 years, before i got out of the military and fell on some rough times and had to let it go. i spent more money on that car than i did my ex wife (when we were married of course ) and between two deployments i was able to rack up a engine build with pro comp cams, comlete valve train, and all the bolt ons, ie BFMIC to IC piping to and intake. had a lightweight battery kit. and picked up a DCR twin turbo kit (DCR = Darrel Cox Racing), and a nice 75 shot zex wet kit (which i never used ). anyways, i basically gave it away for $6,000, and a week later the kid i sold it to totaled it so needless to say, i'll never be the same. i'll post a pic here in a bit.

Here it is... or here it WAS. It really killed me when the kid told me he totaled it. cause you put all your blood, sweat, and tears, not to mention you live on ramen noodles just to build the damn thing, just to have it all trashed before you can really let go of it. it really sucked. hopefully one day i'll get another one. but they are super hard to find untouched with decent miles. mine was an 05 loaded model, and only had 47,000 miles on it when i sold it in the summer of 2012.

sorry to hear that man! im big into cars too, had a turbo mr2 for 10 years that went through 4 motors, countless turbo upgrades, and everything else imaginable from suspension upgrades to power junk. 300rwhp is alot of fun in a 2,000 lbs car lol. I sold it off for a 2003 Lightning with 14k miles last year, never thought I would get rid of the import for a domestic.

[srt4_owner]

oh yea?! i love them mr2's. i like the early 90's turbo models. i've seen some pretty sick little mr2's run some vettes and porches down. my srt put out 563whp with 621tq. i just couldn't keep the damn thing on the road though. everytime i'd take it out, if i got into it, something would break. i don't know how many times i had to drop the tranny and replace gear links and such. it sucked, but man when it ran, it ran. i've had an old MKIII supra, 240sx, a couple hondas, and nothing compared to that srt. lol. i had a rela emotional bond to that car. hahaha. im diggin your 3 wheeler though! im just now getting into this whole game. i just finished building an old intruder into a bobber. and i picked my ATC up for cheap so im still learning about all of this. the swingarm on your 3 wheeler, is that aftermarket? like can i do that to my little ATC? or is that only on the bigger bikes?

p.s. i gotta wait for the admins to approve the pic of the srt that i posted lol. so it should be up shortly

[JasonB]

thats cool man, i totally understand how it goes with things breaking! I beat my mr2 with too much boost lol. lifted the first motors head with 20+ psi on a 50 trim T4. Did the same thing to the second motor, both had such bad detonation it looked like I tossed a handful of rocks into the intake hahah. The third motor was as stroker with forged and ARP everything, HKS 264 cams Apexi FC stand alone, 1mm over sized ferrea comp valves, gears, and the usual bolt ons (IC, 3" turbo back exhaust, etc). Nothing like a big turbo spinning and LSD with rear wheel drive! I had a serious bond to the car but i dumped so much money in it and would have kept doing it so i moved onto the Lightning. I miss it though!

Thanks for the compliments on my 310, i love that bike! its a custom swinger +6 longer than stock. The 70's dont have swingarms since they are a hard tail machine. There are frames out there for 70's that are suspended but thats a whole different game. You should just find some appropriate fenders, get it running and enjoy it. I love 70's, going to be my next purchase!

[srt4_owner]

damn. yea, those body styles are my favorites! how do you like the lightning? im a fan of the SRT10. i've seen a few times the lightning and the SRT10 truck go at it on the track and they seem to be pretty neck and neck

Ebay Brother. Some of the aftermarket parts are pitbike (CRF50) like the thumb throttle and exhaust. That motor is a clutched 110 4 speed electric start. It hauls butt. I sold it last year but there will be another in my future.
