Guess someone would have to explain what " dumped" means.
I think he means "to be lowered"...I don't think everyone puts a V8 in their cars here in the States!
Then again...I prefer a 13B or a 20B if I was going to put something other than Datsun/ Nissan under the hood of my Datsuns!

This is just a tongue in cheek prostreet thing for my son and I to ride around in.
He's only 8yrs old and we've had a great time working on this toy.
It is just a toy after all.

i thought dumped was a universal slang for lowered but it must just be australia. and it's not just lowered it's "really" low, like in the weeds. that nsr must fly with the 500 in her.

Don't the seppo's refer to it as 'Bagged'

Well I assumed it ment lowered, but ya know what happens when you assume.


Yes the 500 is a hand full. As far as I know it's the only one.
It came in at 310lbs and makes just over 110HP. bikepics.com
Ya might be able to tell who the inspration was for the Black Bike in the other pix.
If anyones interested.

I dont understand why not put in halve a v8 like a V4

Quote:Sure, GM had such a half a V8, fitted to the later Tempest. Towever, it weighed more than this Tempest V8.

I thought about just cutting off some of the v8 cyls to make it shorter but my hacksaw blade broke.
Maybe a Yamaha Vmax in side ways? Maybe I could glue two of em together?? Maybe one in the front and one in the back??? 4wd

oh this baby needs to be dumped,

and for the engine just go fj20 HAHA

maybe he wants to just take it easy for a while before he goes risking his life with an nissan 4 or rotary

Cuz I don't want the samething as everyone else. I don't want just another hopped up 4cyl.
Most all my home built toys have been a little different and sometimes a lot different than the rest off the crowd, but thats just me.
Had the chance to get a fully built 13b, for free.....Thats not what I want.

A V8 is fine but why a 3.9L Rover? have you just got one around do ya?

i say do what turns you on, but more importantly, how can we get a $500 coupe that looks like that here???

good luck with the rover motor, just a thought tho why not try a 4ltr lexus motor....a bit exy i guess but worth it for bullet proof horse power and a fair bit lighter no??

Yea, we got to build a motorcycle around, we bagged the bike thing and I ketp the motor.
It was 400$ complete running sept the intake. I didn't need it anyway.
I've had the motor longer than the car. Got the car to have a place to put the motor
Like I've said meany times, just a toy for my son and I to play with.

Nice 720 kingcab :)
