Hi guys, havnt visited you lot for a while, just thought i`d share my R1 bike powered buggy, i use it for autocross & hillclimbs here in Aust

 

built the spaceframe myself

the diff i made from a mini diff, made it a cone type LSD & covered it with an Orange juice tin with seals in each end & stuffed that into the frame good as gold :-)

we beat all the WRX`s & EVO`s on the dirt tracks,,, surprised me too :-)

& then we took it to the hillclimbs & usually top 5 where ever we go

 

whack the slicks & wings on & go hillclimbing :-)

decided to fit some more rollcage as it really is a bit fast so wanted a bit more protection,,, & then my girlfriend Marly shouted me a cover for the rain so my race seat doesn`t get wet :-)
