    Now that's a quad!

    Look at the size of the wheels on this thing! They would make it a slug, wouldn't they?

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    Saw it on Import X, looked like good fun. It's power to weight ratio would be phenominal

    Saw a trike last night that had the backhalf of a series 3 RX7 on the back. Not a very tidy mod either (maybe in prototype stage).

    I heard the STi guy wanted to enter it into the Guinness Book of Records but they told it it wasn't a quad.

    then what is it?
    isn't a cage any more.. isn't a buggy..


    I saw it on ImportX too, but I was hoping they'd show more of it and more details, and see it moving around. From what I recall, it berely made 2 minutes on the show..

    Its got a subaru engine so it isn't a quad. any motorcycle engine in it makes it a "quad"

    So by that reckoning, any car fitted with a motorcycle engine is a bike?

    that's why he built it, isn't it..??


    Wellyman, so if they put that engine in a light aircraft, it's not an aircraft any more, so I just need a car license? sweet.. What about Suzuki's.. They must really be buggered, making cars and bikes and quads etc.. all those engines
    An engine doesn't define what vehicle it is
