Pro Street Trabant

[Trabant800RS]

awesome!!!!!!

[djodjoplayer]

hallo sexy driver, is er plaats voor een avontuurtje op de achterbank? xxxx

[landyladv8]

Yeah that thing rocks!

[Isochest]

This should be European Car of the Year 2011.

[dafalgan15]

@Isochest Agreed. Until I get my Nova over to Europe, that is.

[BuzzLOLOL]

. LOL! .. A Pro-Street Trabant... too bad he didn't get on it off the line with a little wheelie or burn...

[dafalgan15]

@BuzzLOLOL

That's because a Belgian was at the wheel. Need a North American to show how to properly roast the tires.

[aro8181]

Wow!!!

[G0IMB]

You Belgians are true heroes of the European Spirit. You have combined the best: A high powered engine with a car which has been sadly forgotten.

[dafalgan15]

@G0IMB Yeah, well unfortunately the Belgian authorities don't let us customize our cars the way we'd truly like to. They love taking the fun out of being a gearhead.

[gregory535]

lekker pascale ;)

[hemiisbest]

Fantastic Rover V8 sound

[moonbar33]

Come on ya pussy! :) ha ha, very nice car.

[volvomantom]

What a sound! Love how the big V8 produces enough torque even at idle to move the car pretty quickly.

[datawraith3080]

3.2.1.gone

[MegaZsolti]

you started from the trabant 600 :P

[aceeeed]

Is that a waste of a brilliant V8 engine, or an inspired use of it. I dont know. Brilliant work for those concerned.

[tquest1]

doe mor e kji! nje geweun in 3 steekn! goaaan!

[7urb0m4n]

The engine is in front of the car or in the rear part of the car ??? This is soooo beautiful !!!

[dafalgan15]

@7urb0m4n

Engine is in the front. Tight fit.

[7urb0m4n]

@dafalgan15 I want that car too !! :)

[Subsw00fers]

@dafalgan15 Why not put in a rotary 13b? If it can fit a v8 a 13b would be to fit also.

[golf1diesel]

perfect sleeper car

[v8guvnor]

I fucking love that sound and car

[leuvenlife]

what attaches the engine and the car? Is the chassis really up to that much torque ?(koppel)

[rsncaronte]

awesome, sounds like a beast!!

[meklopfklopf]

hahaha, great job, well done !!

[schippe32]

where did you get the engine

[tomescuadi]

get line lock...you'll get a decent burnout

[Titti05]

:) pls watch:

/watch?v=8vE3zeTkkuQ

;) thanks

[tuca999]

...Never mind.....the original trabant is also unable to do a burnout, so everything is ok....

[Sohave]

No it is able to do burnout look it up here on Youtube

[lizardman152]

Whoever did this is awesome. Now I want to see someone put an LS1 in a Trabant!

[mishap601k]

thats bloody awesome!

[Axel2989]

SAUNT

[EnigmaNZ1]

My brother once had a ford anglia with a 289 V8 and it was bloody scarey. It didn't go from zero and accelerate. It seemed to go from zero to bloody fast instantly. Then he had a mini clubman with a austin 1800 crammed in the front and other weird cars lol.

[civilmaddog420]

DAMN!!! Go, pussy!

[wotan20]

Those older Trabies are a real rarity nowadays. I have to search for them in my childhood memories, and I'm over 50. On top of that the older Trabies were cuter than their more squarish successors.

[fuckdainemudda]

This is so fuckin' great!!!

[MegaZsolti]

Trabant 600,right?

[UBIQUEROL]

Not anymore it isn't!

[MegaZsolti]

the chassis is still the same

[Keijz74]

R♥MBLE :o)#

[TolekBonanno]

Trabant Power!

[flokanyewest]

lächerlich

[taeve2]

Leck mich Fett! Wo haben die Kerle den Riesenmotor nur hingebaut? Geiler Sound und extrem seltenes Sück, der Kombi.

[bmpingo]

Is it automatic gearbox? Nice work.

[dafalgan15]

Yeah, it's the 3-speed automatic from the Rover. Hurst shifter, shift kit w torque converter.

[ShrewdShade]

Holy shti! That thing must go faster with gear 1 that the original by freefall from an airplane!

[bienenpabst]

tja hätt man ihn so gebaut...

[RaduGhitescu]

NICE

[mattouli]

You gotta love the old Rover V8 engine, used to get a lift to school in a P6 3500 and remember it well!

[dexcz]

wow, that's sick!!! sounds awesome man! east germany classic :-)

[TremcladClock]

Nice.

[NONTHINK63]

cool

[pfishy69]

just imagine a crash ...you would end up with a cloud of camel shit and bus tickets

[egerhardcore]

hehehe

[APSTTGTO]

That is an awesome setup. I get an erection listening to it.

[nipperoid]

should have kept it looking stock to be a sleeper

[gentoofreak]

I have a Trabi (601 Kombi) too. But my one has the original engine with 26 HP. Your one sounds great.

[dafalgan15]

cool- kerosene all the way!

[tenie2k]

a thunder :)

[jamesthebongoman]

So let's get this straight this is a Trabant 600 with a Rover V8 (3500cc?) and an auto transmission 3 or 4 speed? What you have essentially done is taken the world's best car and transformed it into something quite surreal! Bravo!

[dafalgan15]

Yeah, well the Trabant has some history, that's for sure. Not very safe though. We're putting in a small block Chevy next year hooked up to a 2-speed powerglide, so stay tuned...

[stetco86]

engine sounds really great!

[dafalgan15]

Your poor grammar and obvious lack of intelligence tells me something- a fear-monger incapable of independent thought. Probably dirt poor too. This page is about V8s and burnouts, not fictional men with white beards floating around in the clouds, so take that god bullshit and go back to your trailer park, and shove it up your ass. Loser.

[dafalgan15]

Agreed. And here comes Sarah Palin with the retard son and the knocked up 17-yr-old slut at home... Abstinence really works, just not in her household.

[APLACETOB]

go shove your god up your a**, or atleast find somewere else to shove it and leave us alone. we want to watch cars and not hear about things like you spew out!

[odakueffect]

Wow sounds awesome!

[12valvepower1]

rem: CCCP

[kuzyn353]

Ładny dźwięk. Szkoda że nie zostawił wyglądu bardziej trabantowego

[beamerZ]

awesome!

[borysone]

ahah zajebisty tramoek xD

[Yocc001]

ok! :D sorry! I was wrang!

[Yocc001]

ok! sorry! its COOL! :D

[Yocc001]

nice sound :D but its not a Trabant! its a Mini

[dafalgan15]

This ia an authentic Trabant 600 Kombi purchased in Hungary- not a Mini. It probably looks more like a Mini (to you) because we filled in the windows to make it look like a little panel delivery. Besides that, there is no sheet metal on the car, just cardboard. It's a Trabbi, dude, trust me.

[Skoda130]

The only thing I miss are the tailwings.

[dafalgan15]

i got rid of the tail lights by putting fiberglass cups in the cardboard wings. And I put the tail lights underneath the rear door.

[jason15d]

i'ts not a fucking mini, i built the car so i can know, its a '65 trabant with a 3500cc rover engine and volvo 150 rear end ,3 speed borg warner autobox + 8-point rolcage and disks alround

[12valvepower1]

you need a 454 or 383

[bv327]

the best traby evere...what i car...

[cloverleaf164166]

love it. that is mad. the sound it makes is soooo wrong. brilliant!

[volvomantom]

I love that the engine is able to make the car move at least 10mph while still at idle...

[nickypoo31]

mate, thats weird enough to be intersting. You should post it on showoffyourwheels dot com . They got heaps of stuff there.

[dieselislife]

you need to dump the ole buick-rover motor, and put in a 289 ford mustang v8 dohc.. 300 hp in 1800 lbs. yea

[EccentricRichard]

What?! The Mustang lump is a piece of shit compared to the lovely Rover engine!

[ladaladaladalada]

i found it, v8 trabant

[ladaladaladalada]

what do i type in to accsess the canadian..
