I am considering buying or building a dune buggy- what engines are feasible? - mini dune buggy building
It will focus primarily on the street, but with frequent explosions on my local beach, but the trend is towards the street.
I once have the engine fuel economy and offers traditional buggy sound / feel, and I think it would be a bonus if she was stupid beginner friendly mechanic to work!
People have suggested a mini-motor, or a beetle or an old Ford ... Your opinion?

The problem we have here is that regulation is very strict, self - construction vehicles: the car must be roadworthy SVA tested, suggesting very carefully controlled and, therefore, necessary to provide that when you either build from scratch or a kit.
ReplyDeleteThis would be the choice of engine and transmission, because the emission standard.
I was also able to buy and operate, or restore an existing vehicle (something where it has a registration number) to examine or to purchase a car kit in order. There are many kits to build to the sales people were tired, but make sure it is legal and can be SVA tested.
To think long and hard about this: It's hard work but very rewarding.

I am building a beast in my garage right now. I bought an old iron to 70 beetles. I removed the front clip, fenders, doors and top. Skinned and gutted everything in the car. Then you install a piece racing front seat, roll cage, harness belts five three-point seat-and off-road crashes and chassis components.
ReplyDeleteThe rear wheels are 15 x 10 Assembly of the BF Goodrich 33 x 11.50 x 15 tires mud country.
At the moment I have invested less than $ 2000.00 for the car is street legal and can go virtually anywhere. A good bike will cost more, but I had the pleasure of building my own learning and where the things I needed. I am ready to install my machine to pay the license fee and a cruise.
The ideal solution would be to buy an old VW Beetle that which mainly used for dune buggies .. A flat 4-engine is a VW Beetle air cooled engine fuel economy and very good sound that you want to ...
