Here is the V6 Buggy on one of its test runs.

Troys V6 Buggy Testing

That Looks AWESOME!

Love it, top work!

Thats the kick ass buggy i saw at klubfest. It was the must beastiest offroad buggy there. It was mad.

How much did that whole buggy cost get get transformed into that beefy, high stance buggy?
very nice.

Heres a pic from klubfest where i saw it:

I thought the engine looked a bit different than usual

Cost - Can't really say. You would need to talk to Troy about that.

It is the toughet buggy I have ever worked on ..

good job on the buggy, interesting that he opted for an auto,... was it so that it could handle the extra grunt?

cheers
dub

its not an auto. it has a kombi box. 2L version I think. i am hanging to get mine goind to see if it goes as well as this one. I think it should be a good day seeing which one can get the furtherest in different situations and in the end I do not care as long as somone will be getting some video of all the mayhem

Well Hill number two on teh test track has stopped all that have attempted it so far.

Hilux - Turbo Diesel, twin lockers, lift kit, mud tyres blah blah blah .... couldn't get up

Troys Buggy - Mazda V6, custom stuff all over the place .. couldn't get up, although he didn't actually try to get up we were just trying to shoot some roost.

So ANdy maybe yours is the one, I think so ....... Turbo + locker + nutter = success or at least good footage.

Best part is the greenies can't close the test track .....

So is there a run to this place soon or what?
Hay wait a minute my car aint biuld yet hold that thought

After seeing the film what is so hard about that hill that is week as piss :sandrine i know things look soft on film but not that soft i don't mean to be a prick but come on wheres the spirt of adventure here gees i need to get my baja going and have a run down here.
Im going work on my bug later

That piece of piss hill has been tried and failed by many kick-ass 4WD's as Mr Brad mentioned, and not to mention numerous big bad VW's of all forms.
If you want to show us all how easily you can do it, join the Manx club and go along to the next fun filled testing day.
Good luck :thumb

So when is the next test session? I'd be keen to check this out.

The hill is in my yard.. I have with me a nice cold carton of VB and I will happily bet it that you will not get up the Hill in say 3 goes. If you do you take the VB, if you don't you double it ... Yep is you are so cocky then you will have no problems getting up my piss week hill if you fail you loos 2 x cartons of VB and post on here how pissy your VW powered baja is ......

So you up to it ??

STill waiting for our Kombi drag race too .....

Your wife will have a lot of beer Brad....:thumb

he will be eating ..... no $500 baja going up that hill ......

very nice buggy

Hey brad can I come to the BBQ when you get your free beer, as you will not get a chance to drink it as you will be to bussy trying to skull drag the broke Baja out of your property. No wonder people call them BA HA with attitudes like that. Just as well some people like Wes actually know how to build a real one.

I think the first post said it all...

If I can just get some more KLZE V6 powered Baja's and Buggies out there I might have to start making upgrade parts for them.

It's also good having a second car testing my adaptor / flywheel design.

Is that the one that was going in Brad's Mega Manx? Is that car still around?

bah ! works net nanny wont let me see the site.... bugger.

that's a pretty decent hill there! nice vid too. Don't want to be picky but with that manx, I wouldn't wanna take a good hit on that front bumper like a stump or something. It looks to me like it would kill the radiator. Was that the best place for it? Just wondering that's all. Very though manx though.

Radiator is well protected. Of you hit something hard enough to hurt it you wouldn't be real happy.

Protection is made from 5mm checker, 40 NB Tube with 3mm wall ....

By the Way .. you need to know Mud Bashing to understand him .. be nice I am ure he will take up my bet and drive strigt up the hill ...

cool, just wondering. Now that i had a good look at some photos. it IS well supported, tied into everything.

Mate I have seen this thing and the bar work is excelent and well designed. It is more like a tube frame buggy with a fiberglass body on it. Next time ya see it at a show or somewhere take the time to check out how everything is tied in together and you will see what I meen. i gotta say it is one buggy which is a credit to all the people who helped build it.

"By the Way .. you need to know Mud Bashing to understand him .. be nice I am ure he will take up my bet and drive strigt up the hill ... "

I've been with Tim in his Baja at Ormeau....he's a nutter behind the wheel, and I'm sure he'd give anything a go just for the hell of it, or because you guys said he couldn't....LOL
Just let me know when its on so I can watch.

I must have pissed some people off sorry for that but just to clear a few things up i am in the manx club and the only run they have had since i have been in the club i went on i almost fell asleep at the wheel and i have tryed till i almost died to get anyone to come out with me the only people that took there skirts off were kurt from volksmod andrew with the tow'd and terry from custom offroad 3 people in over a year, all anyone had to do was ring me and i would be there and ready to go in half an hour any weekend or any afternoon. So unless that hill got like 10 times worst that carton of bbq cleaner is as goos as mine and why is it that soon as i sell my car people start coming up with challenges like these anyone that knows me will tell you that i thrive on a challenge so wait till i get my car up and running and start making challenges im getting thirsty omce agian sorry for pissing anyone off did not mean to.
Anyway the 2 cartoon baja has been sold but im thinking of getting another just for things like this cause that thing has out performed many so called big bad 4wd's and big bad vw's remember expensive don't mean go's further.

Also graham there is the passanger seat spare if you want to come up the hill with me

Just help me out here i have watched the film many times over and if you get over the crest of where troy stopped is that it? or does it get exciting after that cause all that i can see on that vid anit that hard at all maybe im just mad maybe you guys should come out with me (when i get my car going) and ill prove to you all that spending 20 grand don't mean shit its all in the way you build them and drive em
