Hey, just thought i'd share a video and some info about the paddock basher we have on the farm.
Its a 1983 suzuki hatch.
Has a whopping great 546cc 3-cylinder engine...yep thats right a motor with less capacity than a coke bottle. Out of the factory it developed 19KW (25HP), which is 5HP short of our John Deere mower lol. This powerhouse is bolted to a 4-speed trans...ok enough of the sarcasm.
We picked it up from an old relative of ours and it has just on 28,000km on the clock, not bad for a 26 year old car.
Anyway, we did the usual paddock basher modifications to it, which included ripping the back seats out and anything the car did not need. and we also got to the exhaust system with a hacksaw...and you'll hear the result in the video below![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Tis alot of fun, as it now has no weight on the rear wheels, making handbrakies all the more aggressive. Its also crazy in winter on the clay block we have out the back...
will upload pics later, but for now here's the video of a simulated quarter mile down the driveway lol (ET was 24 seconds at 53MPH)
