My Car is Chain Drive! - Motorcycle Powered Car! 

"If it doesn't work, I" m going to blame Superfast Matt. It was HIS idea. " I LOL'd.

Maybe there is a way to make it lower to the ground? A pressurized oil tank and engine horizontal to the ground? Better for handling.

Great to see the progress! Looking forward to the next video.

You make it all look so easy. You're amazing! Looking forward to the next video as well.

Nice, this was a nice appetizer for the next episode. Your engineering always blows my mind!!

Every day I check for a video and it paid off today. Coolest project on RU-vid. 🏍️+🏎️=🚀

Nice work, and that looks like an old school BMW 2002 model. Looking forward to the next video.

These videos have had me as spellbound as the first Disneyland shows in the '50s!

Went right to this episode cuz I was fascinated to learn how you got a reverse gear. What a cool little transmission. Such great fabrication you’ve done on that engine subframe too!

I’m so stoked to see your newest video! I love your videos. As I have said several times before your fab work blows me away. I look forward to seeing your work on my favorite model BMW! Keep up the good work!

Neat! Always enjoy your videos. Thanks, and Woof to Walter.

Your chain-drive diff looked good! Still, nice that you found the Quaife. Very excited for the next video!

Can't wait for the final product

Love the content man keep it up

Looking awesome Jared….. I was thinking the chain might need a couple guides or tensioner‘s? Nice to see you Walter!

Absolutely fantastic!!

Great Vid

Great video thanks

nice job mate

Pretty darn cool.

looking forward to seeing the fiat hit the road!

That engine looks REALLY high-up.

Tip It may be possible to recycle the prop drive from an outboard motor to use as either a reverse gear or right angle drive or both.

hell yea, you make it look easy :D

Acknowledging the effort required to produce these videos but I love your content. Your solutions to the problems as they pop up are ingenious. Please hang in there.

Very cool.

i am a retired machinist/millwright so i really enjoy the fabrication skills on this. and thank you for the 69 vw episodes. i just picked one up for a winter project. also, where do you buy the orange gloves? they seem to wear well.

Your video gave me the solution for my Kei truck KTM superduke engine swap

Hi, I'm not clear why you needed Fiesta shafts. Does the reduction box use Fiesta parts?

Great 😍

Looks good, I can't wait to see you drive it. On another subject dear to my heart, How old is Walter? I have a westie that is 12 years old and Walter reminds me of him.

Amazing build! I am looking into buying a quaife diff. What ratio reduction do you have on your differential and how is your sprocket setup? Do you also know where I can get sprockets that fits the splines on the differential?

Just subscribed! I like your thinking, The easy way... or the Expensive way! I want to know if you have driven much with the short chain? I built my bike engine Smart and the chain is the noisy, high maintenance part. I was thinking about the Quaife bike engine units that do not use a chain. Any thought?

Hi Jerod. I am working on a motorcycle engine powered autocross car so have to say your project is really cool. I need to build custom cv axles like you did. Wondering if the axles are still holding up and not producing any vibration or other issues? Anything you would do differently if you did them again? Thanks in advance for any tips.

Those pod filters won’t cut it! There is a lot of tech that went into the air box design, more than most people understand. It smooths out the power delivery, it catches the reversion pulses and fuel in these pulses , meaning with out the airbox you will need to add fuel to make the engine run and its fuel consumption will suffer with out the airbox. Lastly most bike lose between 20 -30 hp when you remove the airbox and retune it. How do I know all this? I have been dyno tuning motorcycles for a very long time . I have seen this airbox removal many times , I have read engineering books on airbox design and I have a lot of time trying to design new air boxes for bike engines being turboed or engine swaps where the original airbox was not going to work. As I said there is a lot of design tech that goes into these factory air boxes and removing result in a horrible and pesky engine with a much narrower power and torque delivery and dead’s spot lower in the rpm , hesitations getting on the throttle etc. It will require a lot of retuning to get it to run half decent . Just trying to help

where did u get these cv axles? are they custom made or any standard which you have modified?

Why is the engine up in the air? Couldn’t mount it lower? Much lower?

How do you adjust chain tension

What year mazda miata is the diff from? Also how much did the gear box cost you?

Where did you source the custom sprocket for the miata differential?

Does anyone think that something similar to this would work but fwd setup?

That's really awesome. My only complaint about that, is it puts a lot of weight very high. Ok, I guess you're not building a gokart, you're re-powering a 1960s Italian sportscar in a shoe-box, but ... I love the choice of components and concepts, but I'd like the engine to be sitting at least 6 ~ 8 inches lower ~ preferably 12. ---- Thought experiment. Start with a Porsche Boxter. Now take the bodywork off and turn it into a 1960s formula one car ~ no side-pods, looks like a torpedo. Now compare your Boxter formula one, to this. How are they different? A: Your Porsche has massively radically lower centre of gravity. Thank you ~ that's my point.

Can I get someone to buy reverse gear box?

Would you sell the converted Miata diff? I’m looking for something for my kei truck motorcycle build!

What's the name of the differential you're using

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

What did this car ever do to you?

Yyyyyyeeeeeeeaaaahhhh

👍👍✌️

How’s the durability of the Quaife unit

👍😎✊

How many gears are there

Whats that chain size? 12b?

🙂

I just talked to them 15 weeks to get one , it’s depressing wait time
