SueBrew Bug

Post by Tom Bishop »

I've been building (collecting parts) this buggy for 2 years.

Motor = 2L Subaru turbo
Gearbox = good for 300BHP
Brakes = 411
Body = Beamish (widened)

At the end of the day I want a Buggy 550KG and 280BHP

Pics removed but can be found later in this build (13 Feb 2009)

All I need now is a good pan. I dont care what the floor boards are like as I want to channel the body over the Chassis. i.e. lower the body with out lowering the Suspensions.

Cheers

The track also has a traffic light. Its called the tree. Cars drive up, stop and then race when it turns green.
We would never endorse street racing.

Careful guys

I've known Tom for awhile and have seen what he did to his last(burn down the mountain) buggy. So beware, he will take up a challenge any day, and let it be known when his aggression is released down his right leg and into his foot there is no stopping him.
