Suzuki Hayabusa Powered Go-Kart and Smart Fortwo

| четверг, 1 октября 2009 г.

Driving a go-karts is some of the most fun you can have while looking like a 10 year old. You’re totally exposed and open, and low to the ground, so even the fairly modest speed that a 125cc engine gives you feels supersonic. So I can only image what it’s like to swap out the regular kart motor with a 1300cc Suzuki Hayabusa powerplant. Powerslides and burnouts and, of course, freaky speed. Here’s the builder’s blog.

Check out videos of the go-kart in action after the jump.

Also after the jump, a Smart Fortwo with a Hayabusa engine video. Normally Smart cars have a 3 cylinder engine with less than 1000ccs. Mating it with the 1300cc ‘Busa high quality engine is pure genius. Check it:

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air

| понедельник, 7 сентября 2009 г.

Another reason why eBay Motors will ultimately land me in debt-management counseling: this absolutely beautiful 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air. It’s sharp color-coordinated interior, tropical turquoise exterior, and lustrous chrome accents make for absolutely delicious eye candy - but it’s what’s under the hood that takes your breath away (more pictures below). 

 The engine is a painstakingly modified 350 cubic inch, 330 horsepower powerhouse with a compression ratio of 9.1:1. All modifications that have been to this Bel Air feature superior performancing parts – this was not some high school shop class project car. The intake manifold is an aluminum-head Edelbrock performer, the carburator is an Edelbrock 600 CFM with an electric choke, and the cooling system features a Griffin aluminum cross-flow radiator.

Truly a work of art, this Bel Air had me from “Flowmaster custom dual exhaust.”
