Is there provition for a radiator in the front, I know this is messing round with the look strait up but hey it has a great look so it should have some big grunt..

Also looking at a Chev V8 Option
Indi ·
Full PAN no need for cutting down
Indi ·
turnkey price with NSW rego- Depends on the options that you want But for a turn key with a hot engine and good fit out should be about $27,000 ).
We are in Melbourne,
Marineboy ·
Oh, a V8...
Think of all the fun I could have with that...
RTA will have a Ball with that, He He...
"So you have a Car of around 700kg and you want a WHAT in the back..? A V8, Realy" As the inspector looks over his glasses at me shaking his head..

Indi ·
Well it's only a small V8, and the car's more like 850 Kg
MickH ·
Indi wrote:Well it's only a small V8, and the car's more like 850 Kg
NO chance of a V8 in QLD........
Marineboy ·
Just say it is 2x4cyl not a V8..
You need a backup when your out in the bush..!
Indi ·
The thing is, it's got about about the power as turbo Subi, (when stock) with a butt load more torque
Marineboy ·
Ok, Will let you know if I have won the Lottery tonight and then we could talk about me getting the first one..
He He...
You should do well I think they look awsome..
Let me know when you get a few of them about and contact me about getting them some promotion, I work for TV and do a few shows that could incorperate these babys..
Indi ·
2x4cyl not a V8.. Hay, That might just work.
Also looking at 4x4 option,
However, it looks a bit pricey
Indi ·
Thanks Marineboy, I'll let you know.
That sounds Great !!!!
VDUBXTC ·
sorry to put a damper on things here dude.
But anyone looking at getting one of these things in NSW might want to find out about the new regulations comming into effect in Augaust this year.
Its looking like you won't be able to get any new ICV vehicles (Kit cars) regoed in NSW after then.
Only continue to register the ones that are already registered.
I thought about doing this my self, bringing a few different kits into the country from the US.
But since finding this information out i have pulled the plug on the idea.
As i said sorry to put a damper on your add, but i do give a warning to any nsw lookers
Indi ·
Thanks For the info Manx_xtc I'll have a look at that.
seagull ·
some one buy one a get it brendan so he can copy it a sell them on here , with a new chopper gun he can made 20 a day !
Indi ·
Gee thanks Seagull, do you think you could at least wait 5 minutes before you talk about ripping off my products.

helterskelter400 ·
haha seagull.
indi, i spose thats how brucie meyers felt many years ago...
Brad ·
Hey where abouts in Melbourne are you ? I am keen to come and check them out / have a chat
Indi ·
Hi Buggy Brad.
I will send you a u2u,
pete wood ·
No offence, but for $15k you can buy a great buggy that's already finished and regoed.
Seems quite steep. What the advantages of them over a buggy?
[Edited on 18/4/2005 by pete wood]
Indi ·
I Guess that 15 K is a bit steep. However The advantages include,
,
Fantastic Build quality and design, The fiber glassing is top quality.
The combat has a full sub frame Most buggy's don't,
One of he big advantages over a buggy is a simple one " Doors"
Not to mention how good they look
Indi ·
They are more functional than a buggy, with the option of a hard or soft top.
There is boot space in the front, and an optional rack on the back. They fit on a full pan, so you also have a back seat.
As for the price, the kit is built in the U S, a good portion of the cost is the freight and government fees and charges.
Freddie Fender ·
Very nice indeed.

I'm not suggesting breaking copyright/patents, but Seagull migt have a point about making copies, just maken legit.
Indi ·
If you have a look at other products on the market the I think that you will find that the prices are about average, Look at the Sharp built Limo Buggy -- Turn Key is about $ 25 000 For a base model, Aus Buggy's are about the same, Rhino buggy's start at about $ 40,000 for there replica Humma.
So take into account things like the Sub frame, Bull bars, and bash plates that are standard, all said and done, it's above Par with other Kits.
helterskelter400 ·
how heavy are these things.
you need to get one going and get it out in the dunes and on the tracks and at the shows. there is little doubt that there's a market for them.

Indi wrote:Reg is not a problem - Basically they are like a MANX
lol... so it IS a problem
But I like it... like a modern Country Buggy!
[Edited on 18/4/2005 by VWCOOL]
Indi ·
They weigh about 820 Kg
helterskelter400 ·
so at 820 would you need a sooby motor to compensate the extra weight and wheelbase for off road work/deeep powder sand? two blokes, beer & stuff and its topped a ton... what tyres fit under the rear guards... 31s, 32s....33s eek.
Indi ·
In the U S there is a Combat with Th Th Th 35's, Its raised a bit,(But not much) and all the joints are tuffend so it doesn't chew through bearings. it looks GREAT, The owner runs a turbo subi to push that rubber.
The standard is a 29" to 30" tire,
The standard off roader runs a 1915cc vw engine (@ 100 Hp)
david ·
hey pete wood before bagging his price aren't you selling your old buggy for $25,000 let the man say his bit and leave him alone
Indi ·
Thanks David, Your cheque is in the mail.....

Look at the Sharp built Limo Buggy -- Turn Key is about $ 25000 For a base model
Last time I looked GS Limo Kits were about $7000 including barwork dash windscreen etc.
MAX fx Beach Buggy Shell/Bonnet $3,080.00
Dash – Black $231.00
Dash Frame $275.00
Polished Alloy Windscreen inc Glass $517.00
Lower Frame Screen/Bonnet Rubber $20.00
Body & Bonnet Rubber Seal $55.00
Manual $45.00
Zinc Nuts & Bolts/Sikaflex Kit $90.00
Roll-bar incl base plates (unpadded) $920.00
Front Bar 2.5" dia $440.00
Rear Cage $595.00
Side Bars $535.00 Total $6,803.00
So a beach buggy kit whether is be GSLimo/Sharpbuilt or MaxFX/BBA is about $7000
So take into account things like the Sub frame, Bull bars, and bash plates that are standard, all said and done, it's above Par with other Kits.
Above par? or Above price? From my calculations it's about twice the price. Fair enough it's got doors, but $8000 for doors?
A new complete Suzuki Jimny is a bit over $20K and it's finished with a 3 year warranty, is totally new, is easy to insure, and is 4WD.
The jury is still out on this, the people will decide whether they buy or not. But that's my 3 cents.
Indi ·
Hi Mike just wondering if you can tell us all the price of a TURN KEY buggy from BBA, ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
They want $25,000 for there base model and sharp built want $ 24,000 for there one.
So using the same 1600cc engin the turn key combat will be around the same price.
And I dont Think that Suzuki still makes the Jimny....
Indi ·
Beach buggy's built by GSLimo/Sharp built or MaxFX/BBA are about $7000 for a kit,
and they are also very good quality, and i think that they look great.
The Combat Kit does cost a fair bit more, but I was talking about the Turn Key where they cost about the same.
MikeM ·
I don't know how much a turn key is from BBA. It varies depending on what you want.
I know Sharbbuilt used to do a $16K turnkey based on a 1500 beetle floor pan (Swing axle, BJ) with the standard 1500 motor.
On the other side of the coin, what's the Combat Kit consist of and what's it worth is AUD?
PS. I think that the Combat is cool and I would drive/own one. Howver, I'm not willing to pay $25K for one.
I'm also not trying to be a pain in the ass here, but you have to be realistic about the competition and how many of these you will be able to sell. Allot of people on this forum will go "I'd love one of those" or " I'd buy one of those" with no intention of ever going through with the deal. We're all dreamers.
MikeM ·
What is a Combat anyway? Isn't it a Wombat? Sure looks the same.
We offer Turn Key Offroad Buggies starting at $45 000 😎
Indi ·
MikeM wrote:What is a Combat anyway? Isn't it a Wombat? Sure looks the same.
Yes the people that make the Wombat are making the Combat.
With a few Differences, 1 being a right hand configuration,
and other differences are for the Australian design rules.
The Australian ca is called the COMBAT.
MikeM ·
Well best of luck getting them imported, sold and registered in Australia. I think they would make a great addition to the Australian buggy scene.
Indi ·
MikeM wrote:I don't know how much a turn key is from BBA. It varies depending on what you want.
THEY WILL START AT $25,000 WHEN BBA START MAKEING THEM AGAIN
I know Sharbbuilt used to do a $16K turnkey based on a 1500 beetle floor pan (Swing axle, BJ) with the standard 1500 motor.
YES THEY USED TO BE $16,000. NOW THEY ARE $24,000
On the other side of the coin, what's the Combat Kit consist of and what's it worth is AUD?
Fiberglass: Body, Hood, Windshield Frame, and Dash.
Steel: Body Sub-frame, Front & Rear Bumpers, Brush guard, Tire Rack, Top Support Frame, Windshield Frame Sub-frame & all Mounting Hardware
Electrical: Custom Wiring Harness, Full Lighting and Reflector Package, Wiper Motors & Wipers
Hardware: Hinges, Gaskets, Side Mirrors, Mount Brackets, Nuts & Bolts, etc. Most miscellaneous items are included.
Suzuki does still make the Jimny,
However, no new Jimny's have been bought into Melbourne, with other Suzuki Shipments, for Quite some time. ( I work in Shipping, )
I'm also not trying to be a pain in the ass here
OK, THANKS
, but you have to be realistic about the competition and how many of these you will be able to sell.
WITH NO ADVERISING( aussieveedubber excluded ), I HAVE SOLD ONE AND ALMOST A SECOND.
