SWEEEEEET..... More pics ASAP

You going to race it in the BAJA? Thats one of my far off plans.

Did you build the tube chasis?

I was looking at where the rear engine braket bolts to the chassis it looks like metal to metal..... I would have some sort of engine mount for sure with all the pounding your gonna see

The frame was done by Arizona Performance Offroad (520-749-3195) and its all 100% chromoly steel. Its thick gage is needed for the type of flying the car was built for. The car weights in at a dry weight of 1485 pounds.
The engine bracket in the back is steel to steel. Its 1/4 inch thick and made to keep that engine from moving around.

I will see if I can figure out how to upload more pictures. = )

Which engine is that ? I recently sold a 2.2 s spec engine to a guy building a buggy. Was it you ?

Yes Kurt, same guy. = )

Its a 2.2 with 40 Webers on it. Its hard to say what it has in it without opening it up but the heads are ported and polished. The cams are not stock either. Other than that, its a mistery. = ) Its fairly fast. I am sure I am going to want a 3.2 here in the near future.

Wow, I'd love to hear a sound clip and/or see a video clip of it in action.

ITS ONLY OFF ROAD.............................BUT WE LIKE IT! sung to the rolling stones tune! nice. whats redline?

Eric,
Holy **** that is great!! I love it .
I have had quit a few Jeeps and did alot of crawling with them

I do wonder about the engine braket bolts too, if there is a failure it will be in the softer metal , in this case the engine block.

But it looks like you know what you are doing , I do think that there will be alot of stress on those to points.

Can't wait to see some action pics.

charleskieffner · 08-25-2006, 07:51 AM

you have now entered the CLASS 1 ZONE!

kwm · 08-25-2006, 10:03 AM

WOW very interesting. Are those mufflers to a motorcycle? Man you have to make a video or something of this I woud even buy it.

bpoteat · 08-25-2006, 10:08 AM

That's the funnest looking vehicle I think I've ever seen.

charleskieffner · 08-25-2006, 03:11 PM

man have you guys been living in a cave???????????????????

his setup is STANDARD SCORE CLASS 1. go to SCOREINTERNATIONAL.com and get your fill of BAD ASS CLASS 1 cars w/porsche motors. or go to racedezert.com for more pics. the only thing he is missing is multiple mongo king coilovers all the way around. another example of how off road technology filters down to play(?) buggies.

Rick V · 08-25-2006, 03:44 PM

Hey Eric,
You still owe me a ride in that thing. I want to crush something!

charleskieffner · 08-25-2006, 04:00 PM

please note pre filters on air filters. something i mentioned threads ago about k&n air filters. in the dez its mandatory. each pit they are removed and new ones installed. on our p-cars you can take g/friends wifes nylons and put over open air cleaner and avoid pesky air filter changes or cleaning for some time.

Those are the same bolt locations that our cars use. Why do you guys think its a weak point ?
