So weve all been waiting a while for this video, we have been building this motorbike engine swapped Reliant for a while now, and we have drove it before.. but sadly we had issues with the gear changing and we could not drive it in any other gear but 1st.
Now we want to see how fast this thing really is, so I am considering taking it down a drag strip when it's done.. but we had to fix the gear lever first. Now we spent the last couple weeks making it all work, so we had to install a foot clutch and a new shift lever.
So lets test it and see how fast this thing really is!

You said when introducing your Rialto..."basically a facelift of the Robin Reliant"....nooooo! It's Reliant Robin. Nobody says Focus Ford!
100% get this down santapod 😂
I shit my pants just watching this video. Forget super cars. What a machine this is!
so hes still talking dribble then. At least 90 percent of top end sports cars are made out of fiberglass farrari/lotus/potiac firebird/ maclaren. Yes it has 3 wheels but so does the morgan. it dosent tip unless you want it to by pushing them into corners to hard. unlness like this bloke you lock the diff up as top gear did to make its unsafe. The bodys are bolted on not screwed onto a galvanized chassis.( the only other production car to have a galvanized chassis was BMW ) the only reason hes telling you its unsafe is because it makes himself look like a rebel. old men and women have been pottering about in these for years. I did 90MPH in my old one (Not recomended though) i also crashed one into a Mercedes and wrote the Mercedes off with no damage to my reliant other than scratches and a broken mirror. fiberglass is flexable steel isnt
Fix shaft
Fit Roll cage
Send it at
The drag strip 😁🤙
And wheels. Pretty sure his tyres are like 10 years old if not more.
Forget all the garbage supercar videos... this is mint!!!! We need more of this Lee!
The way that thing accelerates is more like a motorbike than a car. Great work
wanna hear the kicker when i was younger we had one of these 6 up in the 3 wheeler and towing a trailer going on a holiday with a stock engine and would still do 60 mph
Your old man sounds like. A legend very much like my uncle who had about 12 of us as kids and parents in a clapped old vw camper watching road markings through holes in the floor 😂😂😂
@@Benharcombe😂😂😂😂
@@brun_s there good cars i had mine at 90mph with a passanger i could of pushed her a little more but i was too scared lol ( i did connect the air box to the carb and replaced the filter with a piece of nylon stocking then hit the fan switch )
You should weld a small plate to the bike clutch lever so it more like a pedal
@@scottjohnson1740 it’s Ali 😂
@@itsleelockwoodsomeone can tig weld on a plate, might give you more feel for the clutch
“Reliant Robin” not the other way round
Lee has a Rialto but there we go
Add to that the fact that it's a Rialto, and it makes as much sense as someone making a video about a Ford Escort and calling it a Capri Ford. I lost all interest at that point.
I wanna send you a video of what I’ve made with a r6 engine in its abit safer then yours 😂 but it’s shits the life out of you soon as you get past 6k revs in first and it takes off your just holding on after that
Hard to believe Ford had the maker of them hateful things completely build the RS200 for them. Funnily enough an uncle of mine whos been dead many years had a Rialto 1 winter he came out and it had been put on its roof. Later that year i bumped into a mate from the next village it came out mates of mine had done it this was late 80s as im 54.
That burnout sounded like a V10 F1 car
Hopefully you can refine it a bit more
My god I'm shittin myself and i aint even driving that dam thing, u gotta drag strip that beast 😂
Love it man 😂
Love it man 😂
It would be passing the m/ bike test , just to be able to drive one ,IF I could even find one .???, always been fascinated by them , used to go for rides out with my cousin & her husband, in the 80's !!! Thanks Lee, for the nostalia!😂
For energy fulvic acid is the best i use before training. Its all natural too n long lasting mellow enerby not like caffine.
Some patrol cans have a screw pipe attchment to use.
I took my one down Zeals abandoned runway and GPS'd it at 96.6mph having done all I can to the 850cc and it was screaming at that speed and the front end was "bouncing" as the airspeed was buffeting under the front panel... one false move and would have corkscrewed into death... I did toy with an engine replace myself, I was eyeing finding a 2 litre Ford V4 but being all cast iron was way too heavy and too tall and a ballache to marry the Reliant box to the engine. The motor I was serious about was a K series 1400 out of a Metro, all alloy, box fittings not too far off the old Austin 7 fitment, injection options and it would have jus' squeezed into the cavity without major surgery too. Saying that, 100mph and getting there very smartish is pretty good enuff for my old bones, I will at some point put on a Weber ICH as I have an inlet manifold from a kit I bought, old carb is past redemption but finding a good ICH isn't that hard and will give it that revviness the SU lacks although someone in the Reliant world was working for a racing set, a full injection kit including manifold and I bet that will shift like a nun after her first curry...
Looking good Lee! I’d say before Santa Pod - Get the chassis strengthened, roll cage, bucket seat. Some good brakes to stop this rocket😅
Then E30 vs Reliant on the drag strip 🎉
Racing Vespa and Lambretta's use something called an "ez-clutch" which is a bolt on device, one side has the actual clutch cable and the other side has the actuating cable and its designed to exert little pressure from the actuation to solid hard pressure on the actual clutch cable so you don't end up with a tired hand, you might find such a thing useful? Brembo I think were the pioneers of it and wouldn't take much to convert to foot action. I have always wondered why you just didn't use gear paddles around the steering wheel for gear changes.
Why don't u run a hydraulic clutch instead of cable
You can find Reliant Robins getting hit by trains on YT. Fibreglass doesn't need to be thick to be solid, it's all about the curvature of it.
Whats a robin reliant?
is that like a escort ford or a golf vw?
Another Best Content ever 👌
Omg well done chap 👍👍👍👍👍 it looks and sounds savage just remember breath lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Loving this green machine 😅❤ epic Lee 😎
Hello Lee do you still have the original engine and gearbox? Thank you, Andy.
Hi Lee i saw you on the m6 today at j6 look like you was having a blast with ur friends
Tried holy they are fucking awful
Paint it yellow and you've got yourself a Trotter van 👌🏼💯😎
mate this was hilarious 😂😂 scary enough standard let alone this abomination lol!
Always a good day when Lee uploads😎another top tier video as always Lee buzzin to see the 190e drive video
You need to mount the fan on the front of the RAD or get a fan that sucks air.....
I'm surprised that drive shaft didn't come through the floor 😂😂
Great video mate, put together really well 👌🏻 so want it to work for ya 🤞🏻
come on you should have expected that
I think everyone here wants to see you take it down a drag strip now you have said it 🤣
make some vents in the hood or maybe remove front grille to get more air flow to engine
please keep going with this build , it sounds fucking mint 😂
Brings a whole new meaning to ' plastic rocket' lol😂
Nice one Lee !!!
Tip: don't hold the HT lead in your hand 😂😂
move over clarkson, lockwood for top gear lol
15:10 proper death trap. Love it! hahah
Be careful the balance in those cars is terrible
It's a reliant robin not robin reliant,!!
That things an absolute weapon 👊🏻
yeah boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Deadly yoke 😂 🤣 🤣 love the mental content lee
The one we’ve been waiting for 🔥
Wow, just wow! Some power!
Braver man than me 👍👍
Apparently some used to get them to do wheelies I'm not sure I'm not having my leg pulled but they did used to live behind the Bond Bug factory.
Wrong place to speed test it
My mate had one of the these back in the day.
He pulled up at the traffic lights and nearby there were a load of kids sat in a bus stop. They all ran out tipped it on its side and ran off laughing.
Even he thought it was funny when he was telling me.
Keep going with this build make it work properly stiffen everything up, this build is sick
How many fast forward?
Death trap 😂😂
That was fast I think you should try to strengthen the flex from the fibreglass & fix the drive shaft then take it on a speed test
Holy shit that looks fast
lmfao wtf Lee
Let's go
Hilarious!
Rev happy !
One of the most popular cars in Britain? It really wasn't😂 It didn't feature in the top 10 cars sold in UK for any year in the 70s or 80s. They only sold 63k of them over between 1973 and 2001. That's only about 2k a year. The worst selling cars in the 70s were selling 50k ish cars every year, the best were selling 130k cars every year
@@waynelewis5656 popular by mindset, that’s what I was going for 😂
Have you still got the Aston????
I need to do an update video on this.. it’s done and sold!
Mate stick a modern bike engine in it with the quick shifter and auto blip would be mega and when your going up the box come off the power and slot it up a gear no need for a clutch
@@coastalrider1155 it has quick shift :)
1ST
You gota try MOT it that video would be 😂
Hahahahaha DONE
Lawn mower guys hate torch plugs😂
You should do it the same as the only falls and horses.
I meant with passing m/bike test !😂.
I've just turned 60 , thinking of getting a 125cc runabout, but, would rather have one of these!!!😂
Those drinks sound good!, did you know they put Taurine in Cat food as well?, thanks again Lee 😂
Waste of time
