My God, you should’ve just replaced the head gasket, that car is now balls slow, you can’t even drive on the highway
be better shooting 55 mpg or 40 mg in ur 3 cylinder 50 hp engine
lol
@sangolt88 Major innovations in internal combustion engine design are nearing production readiness. 90 Mpg is a little far-fetched, but certainly 40 or 50 mpg for a V8 or V8 equivalent power would not be unreasonable. Look up the Scuderi engine and also HCCI technology.
Id love a big truck with a powerful V8 at 90 mpg. But only in my dreaks I guess.
@mypalrocco Yeah, those are not unlike my sentiments. I took the test drive before I bought it, and thought, “This is awesome! I have to get it!”. I’m actually getting rid of it soon, though in favor of a better-built, better looking and more pawerful Geo Tracker that I’m putting together. I’ve been working on it so frantically that I have not shot any video yet. It’s about time I revealed the secret, though.
What an awful awful awful AWFUL car. . . but I kind of like it! Maybe it’s pity?
good intown car but to slow for me.
that is a perfect work/school car! i just might do that
0-60=never i love it. lol throw a whoopin ass turbo on it shit you might get 6 horses instead of the 2 1/2 that it has jk i love the idea
try to put an hho generator
I suppose its too late to tell you that you could have probably got the same results by putting a nice HHO generator on your original gas engine. lol
does it roll smoke? haha
@1944johndeerel yep.
@turtlemann14 that sounds like an adventure.
i am itching to stick a 6. 9L international idi in a light frame and see what she does
a 13hp car? good crap works better than i would have thought. those little yanmars have alot of torque. i have a 1982 john deere compact tractor with a 2T80 yanmar engine rated at 16hp, it sure has alot of useable power for being so small
pretty cool
Better than a hybrid.
i’m amazed to see it go, because most lawn mowers have more hp that is really cool.
I probably would have went with a 3 cylinder with a turbo so I could keep up with traffic. But cool nonetheless.
@kimmer6 wondering baout the transmissions how are they mounted? now youve got my curiosity going lmao
@yamahonkawazuki Better for flat lands and just around town. My Kubota powered Metro is so underpowered at 24hp that it would be dangerous on the freeway.
@kimmer6 i gotta try this. hell i can pick cars up like these. running for a song. pull hte engine out do a swap. wonder how well it would pull a hill?
@yamahonkawazuki Yeah, politicians are incredibly stupid. They make the rules. . . . .
The car is for Road Warrior days. . . . slow but heavily armed.
@kimmer6 funny thing is diesel is cleaner overall. plus you cna use fryer grease. if you wished
