Just want to share my delight
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?

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

Looks awesome, but how will it handle with all the weight in the front like 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!
