@Bowser899 It just rattles straight across the golf course next to the road... It's good to upset someone about to tee off with an unsilenced v8. Haha
That car is preposterous, ridiculous,and absurd in the best possible way!! It's like a V8 with wheels and a seat. Ignoring the obvious wheel-spin issues inherent in just getting it moving forward, how does it handle? The weight distribution must be roughly 80/20 front/rear... ;-)
very cool, brother Ryan. There are a few old moggies getting around in my town (Dunedin, New Zealand). I'd love to HotRod one. The best I've seen here was an Austin A30 with a 3.3l supercharged straight six drift racer, the guy sits where the back seat was.
I try to use it as much as I can, and use it well, whats the point in having it if it don't get its legs stretched? Might aswell go buy a shitty prius! lol.
I dont think it should have quite that many gears! what are the ratio's as it depends on that really, also as a drag car that changes things but i didnt know that!
Ha Ha that thing is totally mad!! Grand mothers drove those little beauties to church and lawn bowls when i was young!! Great stuff. What size V8 is it, and what make?
Notice that the steering seems well sorted. He isn't wrestling with the wheel, whether accelerating, on a turn, or under braking. Pretty tricky for such a short wheelbase.
yeh, it steers real nice, stable at speed aswell, its a great car to drive, escpecially now the headers have been remade, lots more power and doesn't blow my ear drums out! haha.
I couldn't quite make out the rear suspension, not too clear on my laptop. It is independent? See my ride on youtube 'touge your chevy II too' Overlong video, but gets screechy at the end. Very stiff independent suspension.
very nice, looks so mean, what engine you got in it?? thinkin of a doin a traveller turned pick up with a rover 3.5 v8 but just throwing round ideas at the minute
freeking awesome!!!

Very nicely done!

It handles just fine in a straight line. Round corners I can only compare the road holding ability to a mechanics crawler on Ice.

it's alright on the fuel, not much weight to shift about. Depends how daft you drive it though. :-)
