Dan Juday Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Wow! What a kick. The snow day and beating the 911 where the best videos. The time-lapse of the Rocco going down was good too. For as easy as that guy makes it look he has a lot of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 we could do a Z with 2 civic drivetrains in it...lol or 2 v8 front wheel drive cars...lol It should not be that hard. he did weld galvanized steel though... sorta dumb. That can really do you in if you are exposed to those fumes too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingnutthehutt Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 That's okey ingenuity if I've ever seen it, but it's also something that looks like a lot of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 unfortunately it is not street legal to have a car with two seperate engines...unless you maybe connected them with a driveshaft... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I've got a 280zx that doesn't have a title, might as well have some fun before it gets scrapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 hmm...time to start another car...with the rear motor hidden...that would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I think the best part of the videos was listening to the two motors fading in and out of rev sync while he was pasting that 911. That is the coolest sound! Okie engineering? Your not giving that guy enough credit. Did you read what was involved in the fabbing of the rear of the car for the second power train? Or how about the dual shift linkage set-up. I'd happily let that Okie work on my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnutthehutt Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Oh yeah, I saw, it's crazy. I completely support the guys problem solving capabilities and give him kudos for his success. Chocolate Peanut Butter Kudos even, like these; http://www.kudosbar.com/kudos/kudos_pb.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave88SS Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 He's driven that over to a couple of our local VW meets (I think he lives in the columbus area). It's pretty sweet, although having to drive with earplugs in has to get old after a while . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
