Dune buggy wheelie and driving it

Walk around of my street legal dune buggy sand rail for sale. Video shows a cold start, warm start and driving of my dune buggy. 2.3 bored to a 2.5 2500cc stroker motor out of a early 80's mustang SVO. Made it a pretty fast dune buggy! Front A arm long arm suspension on a long back frame. New brake master cylinder, new brake calipers, new brake rotors. Nice wheelies in this video as well.

That thing is badass man that's a really cool setup you got there plenty of power and it looks badass

[@user-neo71665]

smoke: black = fuel blue=oil white=coolant That smoke was blue I have 2 stroker engines one i carbed and the other efi, both will fire right up even with the high compression. You have to have a high torque starter and the correct gauge wire to it.

[@randabuffer6562]

neo 71665 it’s not that simple lol learn a little more before posting

[@jamesfitz1227]

Randizle Peregoy which part was he wrong with?

[@BobMarley-bp6sh]

@@jamesfitz1227I think he meant the starter is too small. He is just suggesting a fatter starter and bigger wire from the battery. But going by the way it started the second time I think it is possible the battery was just discharged like someone left something on and ran the battery down. It could even be that the battery isn't large enough. The battery could even be old even though it took a charge just one trip down the street. Kinda reminds me of my snapper mower after someone listened to the asshole tech and bought too small of a battery for it. Scary.

[@michelle-vl3me]

Black=oil Blue=rich White=coolant

[@johnallen9439]

Actually coolant doesn't burn it just evaporates and comes out as steam. Yes it appears white, but white smoke is different, it comes from Transmission fluid when you have a busted diaphragm in your transmission vacuum modulator. So White actually = Transmission fluid Source : Mechanic for forty years

[@RoostedFilms]

Nice rail. I like the projects that get driven and driven hard!

[@thingthing899]

love the smile on the buggys face

[@Pilinchi1]

That engine sounds great. Buggy seems wheelie-friendly, lol.

[@jausher]

Wheelies never get old, especially when you got Michael McDonald driving!

[@streetstunna600]

Love this comment! I showed Rob the driver!!

[@Whocareswins17]

Ya-mo wheelie one more time.

[@magster41]

It sure is

[@robertalessio9931]

You stoled my response!! Lol

[@johnallen9439]

Wheelies are CHILD'S PLAY !!!!! They only appeal to 12 year old boys and people who are into WWF Wrestling For the record Dune Buggies and Dirt Bikes are best used for climbing hills and getting air !!!! And BTW that dune buggy is a worn out piece of shit, whose best day was 20 years ago. And anyone going through the trouble of making a dune buggy street legal is another moron. What are you going to take with you and switch tires when you go hill climbing ? Or just keep a set of street tires on it and can't drive off road for shit. Trying to have it both ways is a Swiss Army knife. It can half ass do a few different jobs but can't do a single job worth a shit.

[@vetten76]

Fun little buggy. Great video.

[@streetstunna600]

vetten76 Thank you

[@therccelebrityspeedfresh5393]

holy cow man. that is tight bro. it got power

[@jasongano1210]

Very cool. Good job. Much better than an air cooled vw

[@9eyeh8chu9]

Hey man good job. Very cool.

[@justa4banger149]

way too cool man!!!

[@frontleverguy2216]

That thing is absolutely unreal

[@MLFranklin]

Beautiful buggy. I like the motor choice. I was never excited by the air cooled engines.

[@StupidEarthlings]

Thing is , air cooled are cheap as a mofo. AND easy to work on. Lb for lb, why would you NOT choose an air cooled VW? (But, i. A dune buggy, not a rail). Unless ur in the dessert, wtf woupd someone need a rail for. (AND, theres so many better options for dessert running) BUT., I Guess I digress.. again.

[@marvinedmond1682]

Es

[@Weirddog806]

Had the same thing but with a turbo 4.6 from a Cadillac, it was scary fast pulls wheelies in third gear in the sand with bfgs!!

[@richardwaldron222]

Things badass, but personally I’d get some front body panels

[@zulubuilds5250]

really nice

[@huntertodd8010]

Literally have an old SVO foxbody 4 cylinder turbo been sitting in the back of my family’s yard since I was a child the body is rough but it’s still all original motor and wheels. Supposedly it was a little animal back in the gap.

[@beachsidebum]

that looks like so much fun. Bet the cops are a bunch of dream killers.

[@tylerpowell3616]

I've never seen someone look upset about a wheelie.. haha

[@streetstunna600]

Lmfao!!!! This was a video to sell it. He wasn't supposed to pop the clutch that hard!! I did laugh though!

[@tylerpowell3616]

streetstunna600 haha nice it's definitely way cool what did it sell for?

[@streetstunna600]

Tyler powell $4,600.00. I had it listed for $5,000.00 and got talked down a bit.

[@parkerhammond3258]

But it's still badass and it has my approval 👍🇺🇸

[@MrCrf450rider]

Nice! Front suspension is sloppy.that landed hard

[@ventureswithjoe1776]

The smoke was from tipping the engine back when he did a wheelie

[@55418und]

I like it!!!!!

[@ArchwayPerformance]

Nice build! Is the frame your own design?

[@ZafirZion]

my 73 ghia does wheelies, not the safest but it looks cool.

[@streetstunna600]

I got to the point to where I could wheelie that sucker for the whole block!

[@majikfuzzybutt7390]

put a little turbo run about 7-9 psi and that thing would be really wicked

[@PistonAvatarGuy]

One of my buddies in high school had a Mustang with this engine, I have never been in a slower car in my life.

[@streetstunna600]

idontcare80 That’s a really cool story! Those things were tanks as well. Bigger pistons and much less weight make it a bit more fun.

[@noahstuart4046]

That was a 3000lbs car... this is maybe a 1000ish lbs big difference

[@inverted311]

PistonAvatarGuy Ford had to detune those cars so they didn’t out run the 5.0s..... Mmmhmmm, think about that one for a second.

[@stevewyatt3339]

the smoke is from dousing the valve guides via the wheelie, that is not fuel, which would be black

[@operationxxx5471]

That thing is a beast 💨

[@mohadoza9159]

cool man

[@yamaharaptor01able]

[@rickyjohnson974]

Looks fun I bet you miss it 😁

[@Denkha94]

Beautiful buggy do you have float baffles installed in the carburetor?

[@alexromero5459]

That's stick shift!! Awesome!! How many gears?

[@jackdaniels5205]

That is burning oil 100%. Smoke was blue,now maybe its also running a bit fat as well,but you should most definitely look into that oil being burned. Could of happened because he did a wheelie just before he got on it,and sloshed the oil up into the rear cylinders.

[@streetstunna600]

MotorcityFord313 Yeah, it was just him doing a wheelie. It’s still running like a champ these days!

So how do you have the engine / trans setup? looks like it faces backwards; how do you get the trans to use forward gears in the right direction?

[@frogmanpipes9561]

What are the pros and cons of the different front ends and suspension. When it comes to the axle been style or the type with A arms?

You always now the kind of neighborhood you’re in when people are parking in the front yard.

Cool. Ish. Whats the mix? 40:1 ? ;) With all these compliments, i can't figure out why dune buggies aren't more popular. (I mean 'cool ' buggies, not cheesy backyard 'sandrails'.. no offense meant ,of course)

[@markchkhotua3230]

It's really great build! Maybe I missed something, and it's dumb question, but here motor and gearbox are rotated in other direction than in standard car, so how it rotates wheels in right direction? I mean all gears front, one rear

[@cardboardboxification]

A little late but look up a vw bug

[@MLFranklin]

Very cool. Was the frame totally custom or with mods by you? Are plans or kits available?

[@zzebowa]

Dont bother, its a shit frame, too many bending forces in it

[@SkidzFPV]

I thought blue smoke meant burning oil?? I'm not a mechanic by any means but that's what I was told.

[@streetstunna600]

SkidzFPV Wheelies dump oil in to cylinder. Runs blue for a second.

[@ektzaras]

smoke. white=coolent Black=rich Blue=oil. pretty sure its burning oil

[@streetstunna600]

EVAN TZARAS Pretty sure it happened after the wheelie. This is a pretty old video and the buggy is still running strong!

[@losi8ightyew]

EVAN TZARAS Eh oil isn't always blue. Rich can be a very light blue color as well, my ZX9R(also carbed) puffed light blue smoke that was cured with a jet kit and dyno tune. The smoke I was speaking of does NOT smell like oil, it just smells very rich like fuel. Black smoke most of the time is flooding aka severe rich condition without barely any air. Point is, with smoke it's better to go with smell rather than color. If it's blue and smells like fuel, it's rich. If it's blue and smells of burnt oil, its oil.

[@randabuffer6562]
