Sweet you gotta put flowmasters and drop it down two inches off the cround on chrome 22's and nitrous bottles under the seat. dogg.

UncleRico · August 07, 2007, 08:47:14 PM

The cage looks good, man. Did you do the fabrication yourself?

Are you gonna put netting on it?

Can't wait to see what happens when you put that engine in.

snowmanzz13 · August 07, 2007, 08:51:55 PM

actually my dad did all the welding an bending except the main hoop, that was done buy a chassis shop in west palm beach, what kind of netting are you refering to rico? that netting there on the seat is for behind your head so that your not breaking your neck with your head swinging around lol

UncleRico · August 07, 2007, 10:02:54 PM

We use to use netting on the exterior to keep your arms from flying out and getting chopped off when you flipped.

If you look at old pictures of the Pilot ATV by honda, you see the webbing/netting.

Those little straps on the steering wheel help, though.

snowmanzz13 · August 08, 2007, 02:50:15 PM

oh i understand, were actually thinking about puttin in more tubing for side bars an using those arm straps also

JackL · August 08, 2007, 03:03:50 PM

That thing is looking good man. You have to PM me when it is going to make its debut at the HoleyLands so I can get pictures and some video!

Bring's back memorie's here too, some friend's and I built a heavy duty Go cart with roll cage and installed a 640 SkiDoo motor in it in High School shop class. When the teacher saw and heard the potential he forbid us to ride it on school property of course once he went to the bathroom we immediately fired it up and tried to take it for a spin unfortunatelt like someone already mentioned you are gonna need to step it up in the clutch department it would only take like two or three blast before it would snap the clutch loose, scary quick an fast and no wheelie bar's, and I lived to tell about it.

snowmanzz13 · August 09, 2007, 05:02:07 PM

You're lucky to have a dad who you can do things like this with you, not like a Dad in the new movie, HOTROD!

These guys race these at our track. They're cool guys and I'm sure they would be glad to help you with your conversion.

dirtyrooster · September 30, 2007, 10:34:56 PM

maybe you should consider installing a toilet paper rack too. Man that thing sounds like fun!

snowmanzz13 · October 02, 2007, 07:36:20 PM

another update!!

UncleRico · October 02, 2007, 08:27:16 PM

Those little butterfly valves on the snow mobile engine make it look really mean!

Tell your pops to get a move on, I want to see this thing in action!

snowmanzz13 · October 02, 2007, 08:45:08 PM

thanks rico, you gonna come see this thing out at holylands when it's done? we should have the motor mount finished up by either 2morrow or thursday and somewhat mounted up, whats gonna take the longest is ordering a belt and the wiring but i cant wait

backinsaddle · October 03, 2007, 11:19:34 AM

Cool, I've always wanted to put a snowmobile engine in a quad, I'm interested to see if it runs cool enough, we never had any luck with our snowmobiles in the summer, you could make a short run, but then you had to shut down to cool

snowmanzz13 · October 07, 2007, 04:22:55 PM

\

as you can see, no belt, at least not the right sized one.........yet'

UncleRico · October 07, 2007, 05:30:00 PM

Have you figured out what your going to conceal the plumbing with?
