Here some shots of a friend of mine's HOT ROD "STREET"MACHINE . It's a HONDA CRX the stock FOUR CYL. is in the front & front drive. Under the rear deck lid is a FUEL INJECTED 1671 BLOWN BIG BLOCK OLDS. ON ALCOHOL REAR DRIVE.
CHECK IT OUT WHAT DO YOU THINK? RICE OR HOT ROD????
SORRY I PUT IT IN THE WRONG PLACE
Hey Lodi,
It do blur the line don't it!!!
BTW, shouldn't his last name be spelled Wacko?:LOL:
YAH it does that!!! WACKO I'll HAVE TO TELL HIM THAT.:LOL:
I love it! So let me get this straight... He drives it on the street with the front wheel drive little rice motor and then cranks over the big'n just before he races? :)
NOT QUITE The front one is JUST for state inspection **):LOL: Just kidding But he,s been known to LETS SAY "DRIVE" THE HUFFER ON THE STREET AS WELL!!!!!!!;) :toocool: THE rear drive train is OLDS TORONADO...
Not sure if I would call it a Hot Rod or a Ricer..... Maybe Fried Rice?
But I like the idea. at least with this one the "fart" pipes on the exhaust will have some real sound behind them
Fried Rice....thats funny. In fact, that would be a cool little sign to put on the lower cowl of that car hmmmmmm.
Gotta say I'm quite impressed. Finally someone who knows how to actually make it go fast, without chrome: door edges, tripple blade finned wipers, neon, chrome wheel well trim, etc every "on kracken" over the counter glue/bolt-on.
I have heard many people speak of this concept (FWD and rear V8) but this is the first time i've actually seen a car it has been done to!
Cool!
I want to know what the guy was smokin' when he came up with the idea to build the little beast. would it have been so hard just to build a nova? Gotta give him props for thinking outside the box for sure!
They should call it the rice cooker
I'd say it was ricer if I seen it gettin smaller in my rear veiw, But if'n I was look'in at the back, for" some reason!", :eek: I'd tell everybody," it was a HOT-ROD" :LOL: :D
Looks like "Dare to be Different" is alive and well on Long Island. Thanks for the post, What does it run on the "real" motor???
Very interseting concept. Personally, not a hot rod, but loads of imagination, to which I have great admiration!
Wow, thats a taste of different. In more ways then one. The olds big block is a unusual engine to attach a blower too. The tornado FWD in a CRX for RWD is brilliant. However, i do have to ask, 400, 425 or 455? anyway, It is kind of hard to call. I think I would call it a "performance Hybrid!"
Very Cool ! Ingenius concept, I would'nt mind trying it myself........
hum.... 79 Pinto ... 429 in front and 429 in rear ..... Blown,I'm sure.
What year Toro set up?
That trans axel set up had to be a fun one to work out!!!!
