And now, for some thing completey different.

Well, I couldn't be without a car for too long. Ever since I was a little kid I've lusted after one of these, and I just saw this on ebay...

Now I bet you weren't expecting that.

However I've convinced myself it makes quite a bit of financial sense. Its tax exempt and It should be peanuts to insure.

I'm using the bike to commute, so this should be just for fun..

I'll be picking it up next weekend.

Nice, should turn heads

EDIT - No kind of silencer anywhere to be found on that exhaust ? :eek:

Christ is that thing legal?

Ben M · 6 Apr 2008 at 18:55

what's going on with the whole engine/scaffold thing?

Duke · 6 Apr 2008 at 18:55

Certainly different - madmax style

Sone · 6 Apr 2008 at 18:56

That chrome rail is there to try and stop someone ramming into the exhaust and engine ?

The exhaust setup does look abit DIY though

needs more slow bends IMO

IIRC it's a pretty expensive drag racing exhaust?

No - that's a normal Baja exhaust.

What's it running? 1600?

Get a Type 4 'box in there and a Legacy/Impreza lump. Talk to TSR about their conversion kits.

LOL

Don't forget the obligatory shots

DampCat · 6 Apr 2008 at 19:06

I'm sorry but that's frigging brilliant.

I'd be worried abotu leaving it anywhere though incase people pulled wires off

Yer, its a a 1.6 tp with a single 34 pic carb (whatever the hell that is). Its got a years MOT.

I think there's quite a few things to uprate before I go sticking anything remotely powerful in the back.

Same...some chav would pull bits off and/or kick it or nick it.

Luckily I live in a really nice area where its unlikely to have anything like that happen.

No chav's round here. Just silver foxes.

mattpc · 6 Apr 2008 at 19:17

So how much (after scene tax)

While parked, wouldn't you get rainwater accumulating in the exhaust system? :confused:

Or am I missing something in my n00bishness?

Dup · 6 Apr 2008 at 19:24

Nice, I like. I've always lusted over such a vehicle too.

Also, there are some tell tale signs of your location, might wanna PS the bin.
