yes it's Maxi or he might be using the name 1275gt,
unfortunately Maxi's build has been fraught with set backs, and as yet I think is still not finished

Re: what do us think of bmw k1100 twin cam
short block engines have 8v heads
big blocks have the 16v
the fuel economy would not be that bad, if you go injected you can tailor the system to your driving style.
check out
http://www.specialist-components.co.uk/
or
http://www.force-racing.co.uk/
both companies do these kits.
also check out

for the machining work

What you want is a suzuki swift 1.3 GTI twin cam. They run on the smell of a fart and you know who to talk to about that one
