Heim Machine Baracuda (mini off-road buggy)

I went out to one of my good old friends machine shops the other night to catch up on old times. We used to build mini buggies together a few years ago before I got into the stereo scene.

I figured some people might get a kick out of this. (There's a couple videos at the bottom also)

Front buggy has a turbo Suzuki Hayabusa engine in it. Estimated at 310 HP after completion.

Some closeup shots of Doug's work. He fabbed the whole chassis and almost all the parts except a few things (seat, shocks, engine, rims, tires, stuff like that)

He made them if you're talking about the drive shafts and spindle/hub assembly

It's about 20K with a Hayabusa engine, powder coated, with the Fox shocks, and alot of other goodies. Of course if you don't need/want all the bells and whistles and probably a lower engine if will be cheaper. His last one had a Honda RC51 V-Twin in it and he's built them with GSXR 1000's also.

PM me if you really are interested in getting one.

That would be a blast.
