V6 Buggy

[Matt_vp]

I started making a toy, it is everything out of a vp with a frame attached. I just need to finish welding the main frame out, then i want to mount the seats and fuel tank before i finish making the rollcage ect.
Heres a few pics of it at the moment.

Wow, that thing's going to be insane Where do you plan to use it? Bush?

It's got ME thinking now...

[markER717]

That things sick! I want one now =P

[walesy]

intersting project... but a 5ltr would give that extra poke! :P

[Morton]

Where/how do you plan to use it? Is it even legal to drive an unregistered vehicle randomly offroad?

[skruba]

i live in parkes fairly rural my mates gotta cuple buggys we just take em to state forest were we ride one is a red 202 and the other is a road bike 600 im pretty sure absolutely insane to drive

[Matt_vp]

A few family members have land that i can drive it on. I have lots of spare v6 parts and they are cheap enough to pick up. Plus with a bit of boost a v6 can be as much fun as a v8.

Yeah 5L would've been a tad more fun... Find out the kerb weight and power of that thing for us when you're done :thumbsup... Then supercharge it.

A 5L will bolt in aswell i used the k frame an all.
At the moment it is about 600kgs and im more of a turbo man but i do have a big blower sitting in the shed in pieces but i also have 2 t28s in the shed also. So it will be fun, i want to see if i can enter it burnout comps and motokanas ect.

Holy hell dude! Sounds like fun... What have you got in it at the moment? I think a cammed blown gen 3 v8 would suffice...

[Jo3_Blo]

Hahaha, that would be INSANE to drive.


Love that MASSIVE exhaust pipe lying next to it in the pics..............how you gonna mount that? lol.

[Matt_vp]

It has a v6 out of the best commodore made, the mighty vp.
as for the mounting the zorst, can't you see the flange on the end of it.
Matt

[Jo3_Blo]

Wait I was only joking about the exhaust.......thats not really the exhaust pipe is it?

Shit.........I thought it seemed way too big for the buggy............even for a commodore....

Yeah mate, that just happen to be sitting on the ground, i dont think it will have much of a zorst to start with.
Matt

[Fonzie]

Yeah dump it straight out of the manifold
What i meant by what do you have in it was, is the engine modified at all? Given that it'll be going bush you'll probably want an airbox with the intake somewhere it won't get splashed... Or perhaps a pod filter hiding in a box so it won't inhale a puddle.. And the exhaust is obviously massive. F*** a cat or muffler.

[Matt_vp]

Meh i see all those things as minor and will set them up when it comes around but i have an idea where stuff will go. ie air filter will be in the cabin, but standard v6 for now.

Yeah, I agree. But I've already got a buggy, powered by a motorbike engine, and it's a ton of fun (when it's working). Awesome project, keep up the good work!

[Matt_vp]

Well i got her at home ready to mount seats ect. Ill get some pics up later.
