I don't know about the whole thing with the passanger reaching over to drive though
that's funny, it would make for a more interesting ride. It has been a while and I do have the rail running now. weddle did not come out with the ring and pinnion when they said they would and I couldn't wait any longer so I used the 3800 series II v-6 I had also. weddle was supposed to release there new T1 r&p in feb 08 and instead called me on my way to the dunes oct 15 to let me know they are now for sale. I told the rep that he was too late, people can't wait almost a year to finish projects and he said I know we are a little behind but we had a couple of bigger production runs that got put ahead of this one.
so here are some pics of the v-6 engine rail I built instead, it's rear engine not mid like I was wanting to do and instead of the light weight zx3 I have a heavy ( 392 lb ) v-6. the rail has 26" wheel travel in the front and 24" in the rear with 28" ground clearance in the front and 26" in the rear. here are a couple of pics and short videos, hope you like them. the video's are from little sahara sand dunes in Oklahoma.
in the pics you can see my homemade headers since I could not find anyone that made headers for the application so I had to and then I had them alumacoated.
here are some more pics and videos. the last video is of a friend of mine I built a rail for that is using a '00 suzuki hyabusa sport bike engine with an 8lb boost tubocharger no producing about 265hp and weighing in at 950 lbs wet, he powder coated it saftey yellow just thought someone might get a kick out of the video and the woman screaming as he jumps is my wife, whe had fun going for 3 high speed jumps with him.
