I would pay someone hundreds of dollars to be able to experience that ride. Thats sped up though, that little pickup is gaining speed way too quick for sand.

InitialDave posted:Man, I was really hoping it'd look like a relatively standard car, or just some kind of wide-arch touring car deal, when he was done with it. It's got a bit to go; but that initial gasser style was so it can make room for that volt battery. e: HOLY CHRIST. I would kill for dashcam footage of this.

From what I read in another thread they were out to watch the flash flood, but the water took a different path than expected.

He really should have bodyworked that before painting it. a lot of work to make it look like someone just sprayed over a rusty tool. Got this in the recommended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnyrA2x6MTU I like this sped up talk free thing.

Collateral Damage posted:It's the same reason I really like Frank Howarth who does woodworking videos on youtube. He talks over his videos, but he makes them with lots of cuts, fast forwards and stop motion segments so he gets a lot of content into pretty short videos. What he does talk about is pretty interesting too. Frank Howarth drinking game: drink after every nervous chuckle.

Wistful of Dollars posted:Yeah, the 3000lbs is the bit that jumped out at me. Must be some quality steel used in that thing. EightBit posted:Most likely, the leaf springs broke somewhere, allowing his body to squat down on the tires and you see what happens. Trying to figure it out myself. There's no leaf springs attached to the rearend when it comes out, so either the u-bolts broke, or he had a 4-link or ladder-bar arrangement and that broke. I think I see 4-link brackets on the rear when it comes out, but the video is such poo poo quality that it's hard to tell. Seat Safety Switch posted:Yes, someone drag-races donks. Still don't like donks, but you can't say those are all show at least. Solar Coaster posted:This is insane. Guy stuffs a P85 drivetrain into an 81 Accord. I'm probably in the minority, but I don't dig the gasser thing. Still pretty awesome, though. I think my main issue is that I hate tires sticking out of the fenders. Get some bozu flares on there and lower and match the front and it'll be beautiful. edit: I'd have called it a Teslaccord rather than Teslonda, myself.

I think I see 4-link brackets on the rear when it comes out, but the video is such poo poo quality that it's hard to tell. It's definitely a work in progress. Paint job, fenders and all that are coming later and the gasser setup was purely based on just getting room for suspension/steering etc to fit with the battery. Probably could change later on. Also, that was the first major run (2.7s 0-60). That would be a total blast to blast around on. I love poo poo like this so much.

Also, that was the first major run (2.7s 0-60). Yeah, I read the article. I think there's a way to do IFS on it, but the gasser axle was the simplest and quickest way to get it moving. While cruising Jalopnik from that, I discovered this:  That's from one of the Mahindra Jeep-alike side-by-sides. Also, I'm not sure where to put this: 1970 Road Runner with a Detroit 3-53. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rxf2WZvEbc https://jalopnik.com/most-backwards-engine-swap-ever-gives-muscle-car-3-cyli-1759250645 edit: it occurs to me that one of those in an XJ Cherokee would be pretty nifty. Engine probably weighs more than the rest of the Cherokee, of course. Darchangel fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Mar 5, 2018 |
