      +Chris Crowder The driver/designer is a long time family friend of ours. His name is Clayton Hollingsworth. He owns a powder-coating business in London, KY. For more info on the build, I'd hit up his son, Gilbert Hollingsworth (owner of Gilbert's offroad) on Facebook.

    My regards to the Hollingsworths. Nice build. I like that the dampers are inboard, yet they are not really a pushrod suspension--much simpler and easier to tune on a rock buggy. It looks like the upper a arms just got an extra triangle to relocate the shock mount.

    • @ramairgto72
      @ramairgto72 8 лет назад

      About 4 years ago I test drove a Solstice GXP Turbo.
      Had to take the soft top down because I'm 6'4".
      It was spring, but it was in the 40's, 4" of my head above the windshield, really the car had no balls off the line, but quickly made up for it about 45mph.
      Flying down the road the window stickers and shit flew out the car, looked at the speedo I'm doing 98mph ...
      "U" turn to go back on a 4 lane, took the traction control off, it got some tire, kept on it till the turbo caught up, smoked the tires sideways on a 2 lane.
      I would buy one, but I just can't fit in the dam thing. Great little car.
      You like yours?

    Very, very cool buggy in desperate need of better powerplant. There has to be something the right size and weigh besides this Ecotec.

    • @rippinonap1
      @rippinonap1 8 лет назад +1

      Ya I really think it was dumb to go Eco tech. It sounds like the computer pulled all the timing out of it for some unsafe condition. Hate to say it but he could be making way more power for less money if he went K24a Honda but hey the owner is probably a die hard Chevy guy so much so that he went for one of the worst modern four cylinder engine families ever instead of doin research on good 4 bangers. Just saying I've seen 200 hp NA K24a motors go for $1000 with a trans with less than 50k miles on occasion and he bought an Eco tech for no less than 2grand. He could've had a really nasty and reliable 300+ hp K series for that. But hey to each his own

    • @cms8383
      @cms8383 8 лет назад

      neither of you seemed to notice that he said he was having computer troubles
      no way he paid $2k for that engine
      you could piece that together today for about a grand minus the n20
      throw on different cams, pulley on the supercharger, tune it and you've got 300+hp in a lightweight and reliable setup

    • @rippinonap1
      @rippinonap1 8 лет назад +1

      +cms8383 +cms8383 you seem to not see that I explained the computer troubles. He's using a stock computer obviously, which if you know these motors you know it's a PAIN. I'm building a little tube chassis drift kart and I've considered lots of 4 bangers. Do your research a decent cobalt ss motor and a usable trans will never be less than 2 grand and also will not perform nearly as well as a k20/k24 which can be had with s trans for much cheaper. If you're saying you can throw those together for less than a grand you're on drugs. You can't find a base low hp ecotec for much less than a 200 hp base k24a with a trans and low miles. Then you are saying you can build a 300 hp car cheaper than a Honda motor which is insane. The same blower on the Eco tech would make more reliable hp on a k24 w/o cams. I'm a ford guy so you'd think I'd be saying dura tech 24/7 but you have to be fucked in the head to argue a ecotec over a k series.

    • @or2a142
      @or2a142 8 лет назад

      +Sean Bowman You can buy an entire Cobalt for under $2 grand, I can find at least 5 2.2l-2.4l Cobalt or Cavalier engines for sale for under $500 dollars on Craigslist at all times. Those super chargers are readily available through GM performance and will put out 300hp with stock internals even with the 2.2l's. From what I've seen it can be rather difficult to find a bell housing adaptor for a K24 that will mate with a turbo 350-400 or 700r4. However, those adaptors are readily available for Eco techs. Dollar for dollar you will spend double-triple the amount he did on a similar 4wd K24 build.

      +Wagon Burner why mount it to a th350 or any other coventional trans and tcase setup. this rig runs subaru diffs if im not mistaken the motor is mounted longways why not use what used to be the left and right axle shaft output for the old front wheel drive to turn driveshafts for the now front and rear diff. Hell even a good gsr limited slip trans mounted to any b series with a turbo in a chassis the size of a rzr xp would blow a sxs out of the water for prob half the price of a new sxs.

    Nice machine, but I got to tell you my two wheel pedal mountain bike will go up that hill faster. Time to cook, watch our videos.

      Ha Ha, would take about 15 seconds to get up that hill in 1 gear.

      I'm pretty sure you would change your mind when you got there, video does this hill zero justice, and the rocks sticking out are a lot bigger than they look

      You might be right, that truck would surely go faster downhill.
