Yeh they could have given me trouble if they wanted. I wouldnt risk driving it on the streets if this was in Australia, theres a lot of good race tracks there anyways.
Yeah there's a few good reasons Mate I now live in Asia and enjoy a free existence. Sitting on 130 on all the freeways with no Hwy patrols at all and silk skinned, tight twat females are just 2 reasons ... Love Oz, but at the same time, fuck Oz.
@@Colrilu very true. with something that deadly, double redundancy is necessary, so it's probably good that the gun actually needs to be cocked before it can fire any bullets.
This video really showcases how effective power to weight ratio can be. Small and light, means that even with a mild amount of power you can get crazy speeds and acceleration.
Wow, I can't believe it's been almost five years since this video. Time flies! Good luck in your new Shop. I hope to come visit some time. I have a 2007 GL450, Best of luck, XF Motorsports!
The fact that you actually designed and built a whole car like this in Pakistan is amazing. We're building a Baja SAE off-road car and I regularly come to your channel to learn stuff and find inspiration. Also love your projects in Canada
Dude so awesome. Your videos are always so humbly awesome. I just love them. I never realized you had a programed shifter on it before. And ya those D series can actually take 12 psi no problem, even 15 psi for a short while as I can personally attest to lol. Thanks for including the crash video, lol.
This car is a credit to you , well done . I like the way that you made the original suspension work so well. The pushrod modification was really good. A lot of great engineering and creativity went into building this . It would be interesting to see a similar car with a slightly longer wheelbase using an Audi inline engine and transaxle mid-mounted to give a better weight distribution . Best of luck with the current Mercedes project.
What an amazing builld you got there. Looks like a real life Mario kart. And if you ever wanted an engine upgrade, What about a turbo hayabusa engine. A motorcycle engine in that thing whould be so much fun to drive, and you would even get a sequential gearbox :)
One point about bending tie rods straight. I did that once to my go kart and thought everything was OK, some time later the tie rod broke in two while being driven. The bend was located at a point on the tie rod where a nut had been silver soldered on for alignment purposes so it was heat effected, but be careful with bending suspension components to repair them.
bro..that was amazing, its a very good build just try to add bit of rear taillights and give a little cosmetics decals may be of fibre glass body just like KTM Crossbow, that accident was avoidable, but neverthless its a lesson learnt, goodluck for future, i myslf trying to build one but using a very small engine approx 200cc engine of famous pulsur 200AS indian bike engine, ur videos are very great help, i may be using a tricar rather than 4 wheels, currently in process of creating a chasis.
Hi SK8215!!!!! I really appreciate your works! I've seen all your videos Can I ask you to make a video on how the transmission system works (engine - gears - wheels)?? how you design it? do you transform it in a chain transmission as a go-kart? Thanks for your attention an keep going!!!! I can't wait for others E55 asl videos!
@xf motorsports I saw videos of this self made car on your other channel long time ago it was very few videos. I was working at similar project at that in Lahore which had buggy tires and fzr250 bike engine. Since I moved to UAE, My car ended up in scrap yard after 1year rusting in dust. I tried to contact you at that time but I coudnt reach you. Surprise to you made this before Project E55 ASL. Best wishes for your upcoming projects.
Hey mate. First of all lots of love and appreciation from my side. You’ve done an amazing and inspirational job. I just wanted to ask something. What if we just make some changes and turn it into a coupé or more like a 2 seater. Will the frame bear the weight if provided a bit more support?
the custom automated manual shifter was very cool. i want to see this revisited. torque converters, 4 gears and low rev limiter is unacceptable for a car guy. if it really is that hard to make you can at least try reprogramming the transmission to have higher rev limit and lock up the torque converter clutch instantly when at 2nd gear or higher
Was much thought put into the length of the lower control arm vs the length of the upper arm? Also the upper ball joints are much higher than control arm mounting points. Did you simulate this geometry in a computer program or did you just try to make all the parts you have fit the frame?
I always wanted to built on my own but couldn't because I am afraid of failure 😥 very Weldon I watched all the videos and it really help to boost my confidence again are you a mechanical engineer by profession thanks love from Karachi
It took me a bit, but I was able to decipher the street signs and get a good look at the patch on the Police uniform, this is Pakistan, right? I'm really surprised how many of the signs are only in English.
Its hard to find the time but I'll try to build something like this in Canada next if I find time. Something fully focused for the track, and yeh if the market is there then I wouldn't mind sending them over.
Very cool. Didn't realize you had all that work into that thing. The automatic manual gearbox thing especially. I'm curious what was the speed limitation for the gear changes, slow actuators for the shifter, clutch or timing everything? My recommendation (I'm biased,) a KLZE v6 from Mazda with a 5 speed gearbox. 200hp 170tq, NA, 7500 rpms and an awesome sound. Oh and you can pick one up between $600 -1200, way cheaper than the Honda for everything, weight is about 400lbs., trans. 75-80 lbs. Should be terrifying :D
It was mostly the way I had it programmed. The system waited for the revs to fully match before shifting up and the engine was fairly slow reving down so that caused the delay. Could have been fixed by programming it differently. Yeh V6 could have been good too but would have probably required a bigger engine compartment. I really wanted to go with K20. Those are above 200hp too and fairly easy to turbo, but dont think I'll make the effort. It would get someone killed
I thought the K series were 200 with a turbski... no matter, those cost 3-4 times as much as the v6. Space wise this engine fits in small cars as well, MX-3 is the smallest I believe. The only thing different is the engine and transmission are on opposite sides from Honda. With $100 headers and MAF swap (different Mazda ECU, (see reliable,)) You'll be at 215 ish at the crank. More if there is no other exhaust. Everything can be junkyard sourced as well. So far as the automatic MTX, how about adding an auto blipper circuit. You'd need to know the engine rpm, (easy,) and the transmission input speed... hmmm. How about a sensor that counts the teeth on the flywheel with light installed in the bellhousing? With an easy shift mode and performance/sport. Easy smooth shifting until you press a momentary switch on the front of the shift knob, or steering wheel. Definitely should be at the track for high speed testing, and add a little foam padding for the roll cage that crash looked like it hurt : )
K20 came all the way from 150hp to 220hp variants. There was a rev match system but it still required the accelerator being pressed because the car didnt have an electronic throttle. I was getting the engine speed from the distributor tach output and the trans speed from the vehicle speed sensor.
So with a FWD engine being mounted in the rear, did you also install the shifter backwards aswell? I want to build a similar vehicle someday and I am still puzzled as to what to do about the rear axle and transmission and what I could use for those parts?
With the automatic the shifter was just linked with a cable, when it was manual I had motors changing the gears. The setup its self is easy enough. Everything that's on the front of the civic gets mounted exactly the same was but at the back
