This is genuinely probably one of the top 3 KZbin automotive channels right now. With a grand tour budget, I believe you guys could be exactly what the culture needs

[@TheLukass71]

I disagree. I think their strength and beauty of the channel is exactly in that their budget is extremely limited. I do think they would do very well with a huge budget but they are one of the most unique and hilarious channels precisely because they buy really crappy cars and make the most out of them.

these are called moped cars in finland and they are very popular among 15 year olds. In finland you can drive a moped car at 15 with a moped car license or at 17 or 18 with a car license and they go up to 45kmh. Though atvs and utvs are more popular among teenagers now. You can drive an utv or atv which goes up to 60kmh with a tractor license at 14 or 15 years old because they are technically classified as a tractor

⁠@@johanneskivikangas8710yes we have that in Sweden to, but more so with rebuilt cars (EPA), moped cars are made fun of because they are so tiny, brittle and sound like they are falling apart. Would be fun with a video where they go full out with moped cars or EPA in Sweden or Finland

[@lknowledge]

@@fb9440 Thats because they are. I was at a shop getting my street legal ATV serviced (I mention it because thats one of the other options you can drive at that age) and the mechanic was fixing a "slightly" crashed moped car. The front end was full on bent in and the frame was just this thin metal tubing. I talked with the mechanic and he said that he would never ever let his kids drive one or own one. He said that that crash happened at 30kmh and that thing looked like it was a 80kmh+ to a wall crash. I mean it was properly scary to think what would have happened if it was going any faster. Lets just say, I was way happier having with my motorcycle gear when a guy brake checked me while I was changing lanes and was throw into the backend of a Volvo estate, than crashing this the same way. Walking away versus cut out.

Carb clearly visible at 2:41, and still you fill up with diesel? Golden!

[@whichwasher2007]

The last time i saw a car being driven through wobern safari park. It involved 3 blokes in a convertable renult espace.

[@camerongsx9122]

Realistically. You could swap a 1.4TDI or 1.9TDI VW diesel into that car. Probably get 70+MPG's and it would be reasonably quick due to the good torque the VW TDI motors put out. The 1.9TDI comes in a PD100 (100hp) or a PD150 (150)HP. The PD150's can hold 200+ wheel HP with just a turbo, big intercooler and tuning.

[@lint8391]

Why bother? Just get a VW Polo or Golf, or Skoda Fabia from that era...

[@1ns4ne1d10t]

@@camerongsx9122 1.9 ARL's with the GT1749VB are very old and very rare now. They were the original 'Red Letter' TDI engines and they were rare to get in a VW. More commonly these units were found in the 1st generation Seat Leon FR's. It's a hard engine to get hold of these days as most 1.9's with the ARL engine code have long been scrapped. The Turbo's never lasted on them and you'd be lucky to find an ARL that doesn't have a 'war siren' turbo on its way out. I had a 1.9 PD engine in the original Seat Leon FR so I know these engines well as I had one for six years. They were good at the time when they first came out but not long shortly after other newer 16 valve twin overhead commonrail injected diesels came along with 350/370nms of torque with extra overboost features and the ARL's became quickly out dated. Sadly as they were Pumpe Duse and only running 320nms of torque on an 8 valve engine they weren't the best.

[@csskrouble]

100hp would kill that chassis, it's not designed to take a lot of torque. They could simply get an diesel 15kW engine from kubota, and it would run better. I have an Aixam with an 5HP diesel engine, and although it has a lower v-max, the torque is wayy better than this.

[@theno3554]

That's a coffin on wheels. YOU are the crumple zone.

[@theodorgiosan2570]

There's an even easier swap. Lombardini makes a 3 and 4 cylinder turbo version of the same series engine. Even a common rail version. Sold as Kohler diesels in the US.

The legality of this 'car' gives me an idea for a video you should do - you've each got 8 hours to drive every letter category vehicle on the back of your licence that you're legally allowed to drive, including the odd ones like tractors and/or roadrollers.

Due to the fact that "scooters" dont need an APK(dutch MOT) this thing had never had any checks yet, so all tyres were on the cords, all wheelbearings were so shot that when it was on its wheels it would wobble and it had no cooling cause the termostate was cooked for a long time and everything was clogged.
