Mods, if this isn`t worthy, or in the wrong spot/section then please do change whatever you feel necessary
This is my Buggy that i`ve been building for quite some time (on & off as just a side line fun thing)
I Plan to use it as a Hillclimb/autocross/street-sprint/motorkhana etc special ,,, as well as blast around the big circuits like Lakeside , QR & Morgan Pk on open practise days if they let me
i know its not a Vee-Dub but i just had to share with all the forums i play on, it`s almost finished,,, a little bit of alloy sheeting & some wiring & then a wheel aligment & a few fiddly things finished off & i`ll be ready to rumble.
Hope you guys don`t mind & please do let me know what you think
Oh!!! It`s a Yamaha R1 donk, set into a spaceframe with basically mini running gear, disc fronts & alloy drum rears, Gaz adjustable coil-over shocks all round, weighs about 220kgs total & has 150Hp,,, geared to 150mph & actually gets there quicker than any other 4-wheeld vehicle i`ve ever driven :-)
Oh yeah & i plan to throw a turbo onto it once we sort the handling out :-)

Excellent dude......Matt, glad to see your still CRAZY. I think that thing might go pretty hard, have to see it run, especially with the hair drier.....how much boost will it take?

Looks like it will go hard in a straight line and around corners.

Thaks Guys,,, & yes there will be lots of videos of it going onto you-tube,,, that`s for sure
& the donk weighs only 70kgs,,, My big fat bum weighs 90kgs so ,
with the front end suspension , Slippery diff & cradle & steering etc & only the carbon fuel cell & my fat bum at the back
it`s 60f-40r
& Matty,,, shit yeah i`m hanging for the boost now :-)
we have our turbo twin cam 16v injected mini moke running very well now & it`s got PLENTY, But this thing is already way faster than that ;-)

Good work! That's a serious bit of gear. I would normally refer to something like that as a Motorkhana special, but since you're planning to do other things with it then I suppose it's just a Special. Very insane, they go hard enough with A-series motors in them, the turbo bike engine will be eye-watering! 😎
