Since I have drawn a front engined honda pro-mod buggy using the prelude dohc VTEC(I know...but they make 200 hp and are cheap,unlike the civic vtec's!!!) Ill let you in on a idea I have.... Make it right hand drive,only add a passengers seat because it has to be there....also angle the engine...

Yeah I built three chassis at the same time to see what it would be like to production line them....and they went pretty fast!!!I happened to talk to a cnc bending shop about tooling up to produce chassis that all I would need to do is weld together....currently I have two chassis's ready for a...

I kinda heard something about it.......:hillbilly: I am hoping to get back to TN with mine and see how theirs stacks up!!! Of coarse if I dont send him a stand alone harness soon I might be holding up its progress!!!!:wrench:

Hey Rusty.....its time you turn in your man card!!!Did you forget thats what friends are for.....to help you spend your $$$ :grinpimp:.Hell I got slvrbck to cut his fj down to a cowl......piece by piece!!!!:crybaby: Back on subject.....there all all kinds of engine combinations to do this...

If you wanna build for xrra you may end up having to experiment with axle ratios to get the overall top speed up to what you want....with 5.29s @ 7000rpm I estimate im only going 40-45mph...maybe!!!It gets there quick though. It is most like comparing a conventional drivetrain with a 4 speed...

To use a B series engine you have to use a B series trans.....I am currently using a d series trans and the Zc is a D series. I am not really sold on using a vtec engine in one of these buggys since one you pay alot more for anything vtec(especially a b18 type R engine....)and the high rpm...

I have been directed to this thread and only have a few things to add. I used Honda because of its light weight/high hp/small physical size and low power loss through their automatics,not to mention being a honda tech for 16 years!!!Also the reverse rotation of the engines allows for rear...
