This is what happens when a bunch of gear heads are drinking beer in the garage, wondering what would be a cool project.
I stumbled upon this by accident, but thought I'd post it here.

Im glad its off-road use only. Otherwise I can see peoples front bumpers melting into piles of dripping goo if they followed too close to this thing.

Atleast they left the brake stock.

Hmm that might just be the craziest contraption I've ever seen. I suppose not having a seatbelt actually makes it SAFER to operate. :eek:

I wonder how I could convince the wife that this is a good idea...

[SideSwipe]

only if it was jet driven and not just pushed by the engine... like a helicopter. :rofl:

HOLY. Wish I could see this thing in action.

They should have a video of it running, that thing is just awesome.

The fact there's no youtube video's of the thing doing an actual run leads me to believe it sucks shit. I don't know why they would convert it to a turbo jet, when the engine is designed to have a drive-shaft that you could hook up to the wheel.
