    Default honda powered KID BUGGY...

    well i have been lurking around here for a while... i have a really clean 95 2 door accord, but imports arent really my passion, rock crawling is... i have a buggy that i built, 454, 40" tires, blah blah blah, its bad and none of that means anything to you... why do i bring it up, well i built my daughter a buggy too... powertrain is a '93 d16 w/ an auto trans turned sideways so there are now driveshafts where the cv axles once were, that runs to a set of suzuki samurai strait axles w/ 3.73 gears in it, 31" tires, PRP suspension seats and a full tube chassis... here are some pics and the link to the build thread if interested... i just thought i would share this w/ yall... btw she is 8 years old...

    http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=633445

    here is the most recent pic... she did an rally style race and finished 13 out of 42...

    I would love to come out and shoot an event. I grew up with a Willys body on a CJ5 chassis & a VW dune buggy then had a LR discovery that went where I needed it to go...

    BUT yeah, reps for you. More parents need to get involved with their kids and this world would be a better place. Doesn't mean they have to go spend $10k, just go out and do crazy or exciting things with them.


    *edit*
    I KNEW that would happen on the 2nd video LOL! I called it as soon as the driver reversed back as far as he did...then the line he chose at WOT

    Headed out to a small rock section at a local place... mostly mud, which isn't my style at all, but there used to be one decent sized rock pile that was fun.

    This buggy is pretty cool. I have seen it in action at Morris Mtn in AL. She is a very good driver and it's fun to watch a 8yr old climb stuff that grown men can't. I would love to build something like this for my kids.

    Also, does anybody know why everyone likes to use Honda motors when they build buggys like this? Reps to those who know.

    the engine is reverse rotation... that means you can put it in a rear engine configuration and still run the axles in a traditional manner and not be required to flip the axles so they run in "reverse rotation"... basically if i put a toyota engine in her buggy like it is there would be 4 reverse gears and one forward, so to correct that i would need to turn the axles upside down so that they would spin backwards, changing it back to 4 forward gears and one reverse... the downside to that is that it will run on the coast side of the ring and pinion, which is weaker... bottom line, hondas are one of the few, if not the only engine that spins in reverse... and it keeps it simple to build a rear engine buggy... hope this isnt to confusing...

    Why not just turn the engine around? Nothing dictates which way the intake manifold or exhaust should be, especially with a custom tube chassis. Plus when using an auto transmission there are no linkage issues...
