Title: New Pics Of The First Stages Of Baja Build
Post by: Boost_Retard on January 12, 2006, 09:06:42 PM: Chris has been working away on the baja bug, the beam is now mounted 5" forward compared to a stock pan. those will be my new front shocks..it will be a shame to get this thing dirty when its done.
LOL yeah right.

Post by: GRK on February 18, 2006, 11:09:50 PM: The bumper is a heavy duty version of what's on our rails! Chris has the patent on them :P Looks good :rockon: But I think if your racing with Chris it better go all the way around the car! From what I hear Chris likes demolition derby (Just ask him about cat and mouse games on the dunes @ night) and if your in his was you'll know your in trouble when Your ears will start to bleed from the screaming rotary as he gives you a helpfull nudge to get out of his way!

Oh Ya Chris there's still time to change your mind! I'll still bring the fire wood :P

I do have some ideas for power, but i need a solid tranny before i get a big block :)

Cale
Title: New Pics Of The First Stages Of Baja Build
Post by: UPM1 on February 21, 2006, 08:23:10 PM: Actually the car isn't that heavy, one guy can still pick the front end right off the ground. The whole cage doesn't weigh more than 150lbs and we've lost weight with the torsion springs, factory towers and front drums and brakes. I imagine it will be pretty light when it is done. I'll weigh it and post the weights when its finished.

Better be nice to me Cale or I'll drill small holes in the cage and fill all the tubes with molten lead!!! :D

I did tell you I won't make a car faster than mine right? :P
Lube up chicken boy!! :o

Post by: Boost_Retard on February 22, 2006, 04:02:53 PM: If you do decide to go the lead route, it better be a freebie, and make sure you have the right cartridges on your half mask otherwise you wont be feelin so well in a hurry...sure it will be slow, but i will keep hard on it till ya come up to lap me and then a little nudge from a 4000Kg baja might help me beat ya anyhow :P

and i dont know about this play nice stuff, i will untill the car is done, but im sure you wont be playin so nice when you see me on the track.i watched you roost a few ppl for what looked like entertainment :rockon: the problem with low buggys and tall baja with boggers is that boggers throw soft ball size rocks/mud hunks

but yes, great job Chris, the car looks awesome, i am very happy with the way things are turning out..i cant wait to get out and see some of these dunes and places i have been looking at on this friggin computer..
