Time for some more power! (new race car inside!)

[Calamity Josh]

After doing two of the four races at the national championships and being 8th out of 56 overall, someone came up and offered to buy my race car there and then:

soo off it went :cry: and the search for something new began. Yesterday the eight hour trip started to go collect my new toy- bear in mind i'm 16 ;)
So here she is:
-running 2x suzuki gsxr 1000 engines,
-fox cannister shock absorbers,
-compromotive mo's,
-simpson exhaust system,
and lots of other trick bits ;)

a fortune... lol

[Mazz]

Very cool, shame your not closer or you'd be my new bestest friend!

Imagine that bugger road legal!

One thing though, how strong is the anchor point for the top of the shock, doesn't look much there tbh

[Alex J]

[lenney]

[Calamity Josh]

Yupp :)

[Calamity Josh]

dose it burn out? your a very lucky boy to get all these toys lol
of course ;) and not really, never had anything payed for, my nova's and race cars are 100% funded by me, it's what comes with 5 jobs, college, and lucky money making on some cheap cars.

The anchor points strong enough, it's bolted through three sections of welded together tube :)

[turbojolt]

crazy, just how fast is this then?

[Calamity Josh]

as fast as a pair of suzuki gsxr 1000's lol

[Graeme]

Does it run two gear boxes? Are they just chain drive onto a fixed axle?

[Stuart]

Looking at the shifter, I'd say two boxes... probably one per wheel :o

[Calamity Josh]

Each engine has a gearbox chain drived out the back onto a common shaft, then chain drived forwards to another infront of the engines with granada joints on the end so granada shafts fit

[Graeme]

Fair play, so what sort of power is it? How much does it weigh?

[Calamity Josh]

The engines are 160 each standard and about 600 kg

[turbojolt]

over 530 hp per ton!!!!!

clicky (http://westfield-world.com/power-to-weight.html)

^write it in there and it tells you what its power to weight is close to^

[Andy]

These look like a proper handful,when he says they wheelie he aint joking lol

[millworm]

Very nice, should be very fun to drive

[Will F]

Nice toy! Trouble is, at 16, all your future road cars will feel like a gm 1.7 non turbo Diesel engine. Lol

[turbojolt]

bet he ends up on bikes when on the road, to have somewhere near the same excitement lol

Nopee would never go near one, especially after a great friend of mine was killed on one

[Jeff16v]

Just needs an entire nova shell made of carbon fibre bolted on the top, Job done.

Please upload a video of it running

[Nova-nation]

Please upload a video of it running

and poping a wheelie... and burning out...

awsome bit of kit by the way!

[Southie]

I'm jealouse lol

I was saving for a car at 16, eventually had enough to buy a 1.0 Nova 18 years ago lol

How does the running of these happen then in time with each other with you having a twin bike engine... I suspect you've got many people on here wanting twin bike engine Novas pmsl lol

Have fun you lucky lad.

[Calamity Josh]

Will get some video's of it running/ racing when I get a chance, hoping to have it out in a couple of weekends time! :D planning on taking it down the pod next summer, might take it pvs for a laugh!

[_Jake]

Yupp :)
i instantly want one!

[Benn]

An engine per wheel is crazy and awesome.
