CHRIST!!! thats insane! lotta work gone into that!

doesn't the engine unbalance the car as its all on the right?

Still epic, sounds the business!

[robreukers]

Year its al lot of work 200 hours i think now.
Not really its a mid engine now, the engine on the right, and I am sitting on the left side.
So weight is still 50/50 left and right

[Speedy88]

Woah! Nice one.

Fair play! what made you do it?

Excellent mate!

Love the sound! What will the power to weight ratio be on this?

[volvosneverdie]

Jesus titfucking christ. thats awesome.

Well done dude. The kind of build that really opens eyes wide.

[Hell Driver]

That a lot of work just to avoid hitch-hikers! Surely one of the most extreme 300's there is, well done

[volvodspec]

well Rob, these are different reactions than what you got at V3C

i do hope that you'll weld a thicker (3mm or something similar) piece of sheetmetal onto the top plate of the chaincover because the current one is imo only funtional to keep your body from getting into contact with a moving chain; if the chain breaks it will rip that cover open like a tincan.

how is the cabin heat with the engine next to you?

[L14MNP]

I only say nice things on this forum

[slim1122]

why not just buy a coupling and fit the lump under the bonnet and connect to the drive shaft like they do with kitcars?

now that sounds pretty epic what does it pull like would of thought the 300s were a tad to heavy
nice one on the project thou

That is the same chain as we use on 11HP go karts and every now and then a chain will break. With the power level going through yours I would want a heavy duty guards just in case.

I should imagin having the engine inside makes upo for no heater

I like the thinking , bike engines are common in Mini's so nice to see the same treatment done to a volvo.

Interesting stuff... Good to see people trying these things with 300's:)
