But a ROPS hoop like on a tractor would be much cooler...

[@NotJo4Ever13]

Totally agree. Awesome project! PLEASE stay safe!

[@calebm.5698]

Yeah, a full cage would be awful but a ROPS style bar could be a cool way to add some safety

1:55 that double sink can make a great gas tank if you cut them out and join them together. I've been doing marine gas tanks out of sinks for a few years now and it works out great.

A cheap way of softening the springs is to remove 2 of the 4 springs on the rear axle, these may well be soft than the ones on the front so you could replace the fronts with the ones that you took of the rear.

[@lsucody3687]

Must turbo or supercharge it's a dog. Otherwise it's so freakin cool just needs the low end torque from a supercharger

@@TurboVisBits 2JZ is designed for forced induction. Unless they built the motor to be NA. Otherwise it will be pretty wet doggy with the factory compression ratio.

this thing is awesome!!! i managed to move out into the country recently :D got a v twin 42" lawn tractor minus the mower attachment from a co-worker and a bunch of pedal bike frames so it seems those are gonna be the basis of my first real builds here You guys have given me so much inspiration for stuff like this. Keep on sending it bud

[@electech_5495]

For the foot-plate, you should add angled pieces going out farther and angling up And then make tapered circle gussets(you guys have a tool for that right?) and sharpen the edges of the circle gussets -so it grips your feet good and you can have a comfortable foot stance -I was also thinking a small snowmobile seat(shortened/modified) might be a good fit? -also I was thinking you should have two different clutches -ONE of them being a lever connected to the suicide shifter, that way you can always have access to clutch/brake/gas and less confusing-Hope it helps? lmk what you think!! Otherwise sweet build - Amazing machine! -Also I like how it still kinda has that tractor sound idk what muffler you used, but it has good effect!

[@tylerm872]

[@wrightfamilyracing1847]

Race seat with 5 point harness on tractor seat suspension springs on this is a must!!!

[@thethepete731]

Probably too late, but you could build a bracket that will hang the brake pedal, and unbolt and flip the reservoir. It'll feel more natural and it'll allow the pedals to travel in similar strokes. Looks like you've got the realestate off the steering tower to build a brace/mount.

[@oliververnon6966]

I think an oil bath air filter would really help add to the tractor look. Although I don't think it would work too great for this project because it will be bounced around. Maybe just stick a regular filter in the oil bath filter housing? Just a thought

[@benpennington8978]

If you try flip you accelerator up side down to even break and gas pedal pivot point just a suggestion :)

[@My.name.goes.here.]

Not sure yet what you end up doing but I would mount the clutch on the left side and the gas and brake both on the right side.

[@kasuraga]

The pedals aren't so much of a problem as long as you remember that you gotta use your left foot to do both. I've heard of race cars in the past that ended up with a similar setup, requiring the driver to only use their left foot for the brake

[@AR4PPA]

If you make the exhaust a straight up smoke stack, I think that’d help it look more tractory. A roll bar wouldn’t hurt the look either.

[@mountainmike1685]

Somehow missed it before but I love the cam shaft steering shaft. You guys rock!
