Hayabusa Swapped EV Mini Citicar First Drive!

[@VasilyBuilds]

Next episode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX7OoYysbM9kfs0 What color do I paint it? And turbo...?

[@marcusvalentin5485]

Dark purple metallic

[@therandomguy1315]

yellow :)

[@luckymarsh1276]

You should do like a nice clean grey and like a idk like a 50mm turbo

[@chrishayes5755]

silver aluminum color or gunmetal grey

[@suiza580]

red/white/black. And i think that not need turbo :D

[@markyedlicka]

Love the pipe piece corner gussets, surprised I've never seen anyone do that before, it makes so much sense and looks factory.

[@HandDriven]

Vasily ! I’m a new KZbin builder I build hand driven vehicles as I’m paralyzed from a car accident 15 yrs ago. I’d love to. Collab with you I love your channel and feel we have a similar vibe and could build something sick 👍🏻 I’m in Pittsburgh, pa if it’s not far from you

[@Turd69]

I’m here for it that would be sick

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

hes lives in chatanooga area lol...thats a 9 hour drive 1 way at best. He just got the city car in WV

[@HandDriven]

@@Shadow0fd3ath24 that’s alright man. Sometimes big things take big plans. I’ll pack the dogs up in the van and hit the road lol rad people like him are far and few between gotta keep the hobby alive my friend

[@damienfaust2108]

Brother I just subscribed to your channel and rang that bell, can't wait to see your stuff... I'm getting ready to start doing KZbin build stuff myself

[@nikolombardo3500]

Your vid are actually great good work

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

easiest way for a reverse is to use an electric motor with a sprocket on the end and a 1 way clutch, then when you pop the engine in neutral or with the clutch in, you can engage the electric motor and make it turn the chain backwards, making the car move backwards, and it free spins the rest of the time....thats what ive done on cruiser motorcycle trike conversions in the past

[@amettamail]

Rich rebuilds does this in his hayabusa rabbit truck!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Add a small 'Flex-plate' and starter.It won't go back fast,but it'll easily move backward.

[@bmxscape]

was thinking that too, the only other way is to run it through a gearbox like a quad but there is no room for t hat

[@VasilyBuilds]

Yeah I'm more leaning towards using a flex plate/ring gear not a sprocket

[@iancampbell6002]

Def a starter and flex plate..easiest way of doing it

[@marquisethomas5611]

Kris catching a stray caught me off guard 😭

[@Stuckin330]

Lol me too 😂lol dude litterly threw is family away to be a girl . Crazy what people do

[@marquisethomas5611]

@Stuckin330 i dont watch mr.beast videos all the time because after i got a lot of content for kids recommended to me, so when i watched a recent video, i was so confused 😂

[@Angry-Italian-garage]

I paused the TV and started laughing uncontrollably

[@iamdigbick4675]

This is my first video I am watching on this channel and that joke made me hit the subscribe button. Mr Beast changed the name of one of his candy bar so Kris could still promote it. Its no longer called deez nutz.

[@DaddyJustinEj1]

​@@iamdigbick4675 that's actually not true. He was sued by a company for using the deez nuts name

[@BoomStuff556]

I was smiling ear to ear watching you rip this baby down the street! 😀 All that hard work paid off Big Time! Congratulations dude, it's an amazing machine! 💯💪🔥

[@bisket2003]

Get the body wrapped, reconsider adding a reverse function and then make it street legal! Killer build Vasillllly!

[@RealRickCox]

I’ve been waiting to see this on the road and driving with the new setup! Sure took a long time to get it built but seems like you nailed it!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Congratulations V ! Glad you have it going. NO turbo needed. Seatbelts are ;)

[@cruiser4653]

6:02 😂

[@santiagolucero2704]

Eso fue durísimo

[@ChristhompsonDG]

I had to rewind it because it caught me off guard 😂

[@hsnmhd8164]

😅😅😅😅

[@CoralReefkid]

Yeah that’s almost a full 360, definitely not “straight”

[@ChrisS-oo6fl]

Wasn’t really they funny besides he’s Traαns not gαy. There’s a difference and thus the joke doesn’t make sense unless your lacking brain cells. Vastly makes interesting content but I wouldn’t exactly bet against his willingness to focus on the male appendage during his porn seasons. You don’t exactly look at him and say yep he’s straight.

[@peterthornton2396]

I honestly cannot believe you didn’t realise you were a couple of cylinders down 😂

[@jasonmcmanus196]

I don’t care what anyone says, you will never beat the sound of a high revving street bike engine. The vibrations vibe with the human soul!

[@tonyt.5316]

Just the way I like my EV cars... Gas.

[@chevyb0195]

My dad used to own a 1970s orange city car just like that, and now I want a build like yours😊

[@MotorMondays]

We're gonna do a baby pull here. Bouces off limiter twice

[@therealcmplx]

I know right ?

[@kimnielsenthewordyvikingett159]

Yeah I'm just guessing he's no where near the traction of the bike tire since his cart tires are such a small diameter???? Maybe run duel's????

[@jacobcurzon420]

This thing absolutely rips man. Be careful in those wet conditions. I have been watching you build this thing since the beginning and I am so excited for your next video. Getting this thing all finished up and street legal, I can't wait! It'd make for a great daily driver.

[@deadeyeMckilljoy]

Make the front the same width as the back. And maybe even moved forward a couple inches. The added wheelbase can't hurt something so short at higher speeds.

[@deadeyeMckilljoy]

...gonna be a beast once you get it all dialed in.

[@jackmagnium6115]

@@deadeyeMckilljoy a bad bitch at that

[@Skiridr22]

That was a vary technical build, I’m excited to see it finally getting ready to run.

[@andrewschwartz1826]

Screaming Wedge. I love it man Looks and sounds Awesome.

[@KJMTurbo]

I was screaming at my phone this had a misfire for ages! Glad you figured it out yourself before the end of the video!

[@kavonmchellon4651]

This is great man, and i think widening that front to match the rear will help with how squirrelly it is

[@ianj8505]

I agree - plus it could use some better alignment suited for the extra small wheel base. He made it all adjustable too right? This thing is a ripper!

[@sparkingdogg]

Bouncing off the rev limiter, in the rain, with no safety gear. Fuck yeah! 🤠

[@danhard8440]

its surprising how much he looks like my brother when he was younger

[@pepperfish_]

I like this, FULL SEND!, in the rain with slicks, no helmet or seatbelts in a death trap. balls to the wall man.

[@markyedlicka]

If there's room are you planning to do a foot clutch? Seems that'd be more fun as the total mini car driving experience. Awesome build, we've been waiting months to see this thing rip.

[@Be4tJumper]

Apparently they're super hard to use and the biting point feels like an on off switch

[@dwarfcarracer2238]

Hand clutch is definitely the way to go. We used the same design for the most part in our racecars that were motorcycle powered. The biggest difference for us was the fact they were front engine and had a driveshaft going to the rear end.

[@VasilyBuilds]

That's the plan!

[@kpal2946]

AWESOME. I FREAKIN LOVE IT. So cool that you built it. pls be careful.

[@luckymarsh1276]

Did my little rain dance when I saw you posted :edit you did Chris dirty

[@guruoo]

You don't need a turbo, you need stickier tires, limited slip and most importantly, a roll cage!

[@oddguyamaar9191]

hate to do this but seems i am pretty early really waited for this one. just turned on yt and vlahhh!

[@ScotlandsGold]

Never clicked on a video faster

[@murymih]

"Poor man bead rolling" such a classic statement 👏👏👏😅

[@MADKIWI]

Smart Car next?😊

[@je7647]

came back because this build is unreal. congrats the best busa conversion ive seen.

[@gages.garage1578]

The Chris reference killed me😭😭😭

[@Roadvergeant]

That feeling knowing your builds are working and your hard work are getting paid is the best feeling ever. You deserve some rest from this bad boy.

[@fabricationnation8052]

I hate to sound like an old man but, you've already hit a house head on and broke your leg....when you're testing things, put a fucking helmet and a seatbelt on...c'mon man, wether you realize it or not, you're a role model for tons of younger kids watching this....please have some common sense....drag slicks, a wet road, an untested car, and no seat belt or helmet....plus you had someone in it with you...I'm done bitching, but someday you'll understand

[@stephensmith1779]

My Wife's Harley has a Motor Trike rear end. It uses a Harley starter on a ring gear on the rear axle. You might want to check that out for a reverse.

[@nismome123]

Awesome work brother. That thing is rad!!

[@timbahlert62]

Geiles Zeug! Danke das Du da kein Tesla blödsinn Eingebaut hast..Mega Teil! For Petrolheads!

[@mrkthmn]

I absolutely love your videos man! Awesome builds, amazing skills and your videos arent full of bullshit filler and hypebeast nonsense. Just straight up top rate content of you building amazing machines and being real! Everyone thinks they have to be a discovery channel knock off to succeed and you are the proof that being real and keeping the content on point will get you success. Keep it up!

[@murk1352]

That’s so cool brother! Your face lit up when that thing was ripping, that’s what it’s all about! I’ve been watching build things since you were a kid, glad to see you’re still at it & having a blast doing it….💪🏻💯

[@sachideshmane5088]

One thing that's really important with motorcycle engined cars is that motorcycles don't experience sideways g forces in turns because they lean. The g forces from cornering in a car will cause oil to slosh away from the pickup and oil starve your engine. Superfast Matt found this out the hard way when he blew up his CBR engined Honda S600. He ended up making a full dry sump for his replacement engine, but you might be able to get away with an accusump.

[@Deeveeaar]

Better then any lamborghini or other expensive sports car! Love it!

[@PHUSII]

A full rollcage also inside the cabin would not be a bad idea at this point! :D

[@carlmorgan8452]

Death wish 🤞

[@geecee4]

U are going to be one formidable force in building in ur future!!! I wish I had these skills at ur age. Congrats

[@LGamerr]

never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine a citicar like this. hands down the best creation I've ever found in youtube

[@danburby7936]

VASILY,YOU MGHT WANT TO INVEST IN SOMR SEAT BELTS AND A DIFFERENTIAL..GREAT JOB

[@ardavis78]

Boy, this is my favorite build so far! This one is gonna put you on the map. Definitely sharing this!!

[@23RD]

You sir are insane, need more videos just ripping it around>>

[@mikeh.753]

Dude that thing is freaking awesome. Great job building it.

[@neilbrideau8520]

"One of my biggest concerns is the drivertrain." Everything but the drivetrain will break, in my experience. Lookin really good!

[@davidowen888]

I get the feeling the City Car's not gonna be too welcome in the City 😅

[@skipast75]

I knew Kid Rock moved to Tennessee but didn’t know he had a KZbin channel building Busa powered Citicars…Sweet build dude.

[@Shadowz_660R]

Dude this thing has come such a long way. It's so freaking bad ass man you are killing the builds.

[@barrymccockner6450]

That thing is a ripper! This is why i love youtube , the next time im engine swapping a hyabusa motor into my 70s city car ill have yourr series for reference!

[@Smittybuilds]

This build has been a huge inspiration for my r1 swapped vw bug I've been building on my channel!

[@brianswelding]

A torch trigger instead of the pedal is so much easier for welding cages and stuff. Just something to think about for the future. Love your work, awesome build as always!

[@lewistaylor1965]

Looks similar to the Bond Bug which was a 3 wheeler made in the UK in the 70's...Beautiful little car

[@adrianandrews7424]

Honestly bro I can’t believe you couldn’t tell it was missing cylinders you could hear it. Nice work.

[@carljohnson-rv4on]

finally all your hard work paid off ,still here since the day one keep it up buddy

[@Henrik.Yngvesson]

Maybe extend the wheelbase with a flatbed to make it a little more stable. Could become a mini cybertruck 😜

[@madbliffe3933]

the sound on high rpm from this engine is just earcstasy ! amazing buuild :D

[@mancavecustoms13]

Sat back, relaxed and enjoyed. ;P

[@steprichards]

Awesome build! Time to finish up your mini boat, summer is almost here!

[@ultimateformulations]

Damnit! That is awesome! Makes me think about motorcycle powerplant for my silly projects because that sequential shift is fantastic! Well done man!

[@knoup8858]

That car’s just screamin for a custom flatbed. It’d be a perfect Kei truck

[@jasonboden9400]

Love this guy baby pull then the passion kicks in and he is full send.

[@jameswarren423]

That thing is bad ass my friend. He did a great job. Can’t wait to see it when all the bugs are worked out! Keep up the great work👍🏼🤩🫡❤️

[@actorhenners]

Don't stop with this mate, it's brilliant.

[@adamthomas4638]

I appreciate anyone who is building an just making do with what they have you can tell he has skill maybe just not all the tools he needs

[@sugar-3-Danny]

This is an absolute beauty of a build. Can’t wait to see what’s next

[@tristanbased-af2159]

I was going to say that doesn't sound like 4 cyl at the start lmao

[@JickJackJake]

I'd put louvers where the old window was. Stay with the 80's theme.

[@teeslunk]

That’s going to be a beast. ❤❤❤

[@kckustomwelding]

Wow another amazingly fast build love the old with the new look!!! Never stop building you rock!!

[@EdwardMurray06]

You could add a decent bumper to make the rear look better and new exhaust right through it. Great project!

[@colingriffin6843]

Driving that matchbox without a skid lid is crazy. Doesn't matter if it has a roll cage. Your gonna bouncy of every surface in that thing if it doesn't stay shiny side up

[@brucewrandol]

These lyrics make some sense. One of these days your gonna drive me to drinking if you don’t stop driving that hot rod Lincoln. The song was Hot Rod Lincoln.

[@hondaracing404]

That thing is awesome. I've been waiting to see that thing on the road already.

[@lauriperamaki5354]

'Steel is real' Best tip for any builder 🏆

[@RobsNeighbor]

I wish I would have never sold mine, it was mint, but the CV forced things I didnt want to do, Great job!

[@mobilemechanic2304]

Its pretty cool to see it moving on it's own power.

[@asian_raisin]

It's a little ripper. Love the way that engine sounds!

[@WildernessGuyBC]

I would love to see Richrebuilds reaction to this. It totally reminds me of something he would do.

[@stuff1850]

For reverse you could add a second two speed gear box. One speed forward at 1:1 and second speed is reverse. Great build

[@craigbowley6783]

Dude that thing is so sick! It looks like a blast to drive!

[@siddharthvakkaleri]

Wow, I was wondering why the engine was sounding like a 180 degree parallel twin… Then it turns out two cylinders weren’t even firing 😅 Congratulations on an epic build!!!

[@RealityCheckV]

That sound was pretty obvious that it was down hole or two 😁 Im so happy that you got it aorted out 👍

[@mckrackin5324]

I'd like to see you widen the front end and put a wide body kit on it. Well, make a wide body kit for it. lol... Otherwise, it's perfect. I've really enjoyed this one.

[@jackrichards1863]

Carazee man! That Citicar just made the resale on those things defy projections. I'm getting one fast before the market hits!

[@Marko.POLO.]

A nice paint job and a custom wide boy to make the rear wheels look flush could be sick

[@zakking5654]

one last thing you should relocate the clutch to the left side right behind the steering wheel. like attached to either the wheel itself or the mount

[@geoffburrill9850]

Wow that puppy is wild. Great work sir.

[@digitalcaviar]

knew u were my type of people when the picture of kris popped up LMFAO u earned a sub 6:02

[@anthonybedford8553]

Awesome dude, well done young man. Reminds me of a Bond Bug which never caught on here in England.

[@Sixsicdix]

Love how window is already sharp pre. Break

[@chrishayes5755]

crazy build man. beautiful thing to see it come to life.

[@Hyperbole77]

It looks so incredibly top-heavy. Driving a thing has just got to be absolutely terrifying.

[@lautarosarasua9454]

me encanta tu canal, mereces mas suscriptores. y a pesar de que mi ingles es un nivel intermedio disfruto mucho ver tus videos

[@jordanhorst6]

I think a fender kit would look dope on the back wheels. 👌🏻 also, a wing on the back would be sick!

[@davidaron4700]

You should add a quickshifter! Save your clutch when shifting. It cuts either fuel or ignition or both.

[@davidaron4700]

Okay bit further into the video you explained 😂

[@TimberTrainer]

I noticed that misfire, but didn't know it was two cylinders. Good fix.
