I seem to recall that this has a crazy unconventional engine in it - subie or something.
I just had to follow that up - insane build. It isn't a subie, but a 400ci running 16:1 compression and 10,000rpm the owner said he wanted a visceral and angry, bordering on suicidal engine. 700hp at the rear wheels on a soft tune with lots more to come.
Built at home pretty much single handed in a carport without respect to his health or finances.
This showed up at a show this past Sunday (sadly I didn't show up at the same show)
This is also 100% epic - you are on form JP
Is that level of tube-frame build 100% legal in Canada ?
Apparently. It does have license plates on (at least on the front). In Ontario you have to get your car safety checked (certified) when you license it but nothing after that. We used to have to get the emissions checked every year but our current gubbmint cancelled it (one of a very few things I agree with as it was just a cash grab) But, beyond that....
Years ago (in the 90's) I recall reading of a fellow who was driving his hot rod and was killed when the car literally disintigrated as he was driving. Fortunately that is quite rare. Of course the police can always pull you over but they sure seem more diligent in the UK.
