I like the fact that he ran the coolant through the frame instead of using hoses.. Brilliant!!

 

that's one hot frame.

it seems wrong in the most right kind of way

 

but then that makes for more reason to own one....

But here I saw, long Long time Ago, somethin´ like that... It was built backwards... Let me Explain: it was some sort of Go-Cart, with the EA81 engine in the Rear. I said "Some Sort" because it was really weird.

Is this what you are talking about? Look at all the images. http://webhost1.inspire.net.nz/~nyloc/Toybaru/pages/Lhr.htm

... It uses a toyota inline4 engine, a EA81 gearbox, a sprocket system leading to a modded hub, then that runs a driveshaft/propshaft to a front diff. It is just pure... crazy. WHY would they use a long inline4 when a flat 4 is so easly attached onto the gearbox??

Thats mine, it seemed like a good idea at the time! The inline engine would allow more room for a driveshaft to pass beside the engine than an subie engine, i didnt have a subie engine, and i did have a 4age. And if you havent driven a 4age then borrow one, the engines are unbelievable. About the time youd be changing gear with an EA82 the 4age suddenly gets up and goes... i think rev cutout is 8100 rpm and it loves going there.

That vehicle is pretty crude i admit, but it got chopped and changed a lot. And its more robust than it looks, that chain drive has handled everytihng so far, including fwd only tarseal abuse tests.

A good friend of mine is building a much more refined model with an EA82T + auto box. Im now building a hopefully even more refiend EJ20 dohc model.
