Build off 2013. 130bhp Superlite Dune Buggy

[scott_shot]

Thought i would join in the madness and we will see if i can get my Piranha build done in time





Bear in mind although it is done to plans i will certainly be putting my own stamp on things, All i 6 month Bearing in mind this is the first of anything i have ever done like this Lets hope i am better at engineering than Sign Writing

Let the drama's unfold!!!!

Just because you're using pre-engineered plans, does not mean that this doesn;t require a whole lotta skill. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Good luck, and happy building!

Cheers Toystory i total agree, and once the chasis is bulit your on your own when it comes to individuals aspects personal to each and every one built

Update:More About whats planed....As said built from Edge Piranha plans, Suzuki Gsx1000f Lump in rear, IRS, 60T sprocket onto CV Axles form a porsche 924 wheel to wheel.Front Discs twin piston, 1 large Rear Disc single piston caliper, Mk2 Escort steering Rack (Shortened) and loads of bells and whistles lol

Making almost every part by hand (mounts, housings etc) except the rear drive housing wheel hubs etc.

Loads more and will have update with some chasis welded together by monday

Could you get me some demensions of those please? I would love to such cool pedals aswell!

Other than that, you frame looks really good! Nice work!

 

[landuse]

Yep all done myself, granted they evolved from the much more basic version in the buggy plans, and aye thats fine will have to give me a day or two to draw up a 2d sketch but i will mail them to u asap buddy

Those pedals are nice! I like the start you have made.

And Thanks all, made all the re-doing parts worth while

 

[scott_shot]

MODS..... its not easy to say but im waving the white flag can you delete my build off thread as i have more chance of becoming CEO of the bank of scottyland than finishing in time

this way i can start a bog standard build thread save the clutter in the contest room

 

[OzFab]

What? We're only half way, don't give up yet! Just keep pluggin' away at it &, remember, we're here to help if you run into problems.

It's a big build you've taken on; if you don't finish, at least you can say you gave it a good go.

Just to let you know, there were a few starters that didn't finish in time last year...

 

[Doc Sprocket]

I can move the thread in it's entirety into the regular Project log section if you like, but- you SURE you want to pull the plug?
