Projects - building a kit car, restoring old dirt bikes, gravity
bike... |
| Welcome to the projects
section. This bit of the site is all about us demonstrating
our mechanical ineptitude and boundless enthusiasm for lost
causes. Please don't write to us complaining that we are doing
this stuff wrong, we know we are, we hope you just learn from
our mistakes. Our moto could be "cheap thrills"
so here we are more interested in doing things that return
maximum bangs per buck - you won't find any titanium nuts
and bolts but hopefully you will be able to undertake a project
like this without having a private income..enjoy! |

Building a kit car...Most of us have at
some point in our life had to listen to some bearded fella
in a pub rattle on to his mate about those Lotus 7 style kit
cars performing like nothing on earth. "Oooohhh, it'll
do 0 to 60 mph just like that (he clicks his fingers), and
being sooooo low to the ground nothing on the road can keep
up with it in corners, and it's sooooo light that he has to
achor the car down or it'll blow away on windy days. Well
we've decided to see if there is any truth in these stories
and has set out to see if he can build a track day Kit Car
with a budget of £3000! read

Gravity Bikes are a relatively
new thing to the gravity sports scene. Some of the Streetluge
guys from the USA told us that Gravity Bikes go like heck,
are cheap to build and are good and dangerous. Well, it sounds
like these Gravity Bikes were worth further investigation,
so we asked Dr. Neil Farrow if he was interested in a little
project. We asked him if he could build a competitive Gravity
Bike, test it at high speed, and if he survives, then race
it at Aviemore in 2002. Neil replied, "O.K. I'll do it ha
ha, and I'll build a really cool one with flames on it and
everything. Er... what's a Gravity Bike look like again? We
will be keeping you informed of Neil progress, during every
stage of the Gravity Bike's design, production, manufacture,
and testing. No doubt we'll also provided details of how fast
it goes, and what it's like to crash one. read

Why just buy a used motocross
bike when you can build one from a box of bits? Well the simple
fact is that whether an off-road bike is together or in bits
it will usually be for sale only when something is seriously
wrong with it. To add a little twist we decided that buying
a modern motocross bike was to easy. We decided to fulfil
our childhood fantasies and get a few seventies twinshock
machine as projects. .read more> |
