I thought I would write this partly as it is something unique and a lot of you will enjoy it and secondly to promote it for a close friend of mine who built it.
History behind it is that Nick (will call him this as he is Bulgarian and his name is Nokolay) was an engineer at a Hi-Tech Automotive in PE that make cars like the Noble, AC Cobras, Zagato and various other beasts. Nick has vast experience in the automotive field having been head engineer for Terry Moss racing team etc.
He then left to work for himself and endevoured to build this beast for the rerason of selling it/rent it out.
Ok I'm sure you all get the picture..... I will write this as I understand it, but forgive my ignorance as I am no engineer or mechanic!
Everything you see other than the very obvious is hand crafted in his garage at home. The grips of the handlebars, the pipework, fuel tanks, air suspension and so it goes on.
Also note the trike is still NOT complete and once it is complete & I have the complete pictures I will post them.
Specs are:
350 Chevy motor redone new pistons rings, bearings etc with ported head bla bla bla
Holly 4 barrel 750cu Carb
Diff comes from a fairmont
Brakes are satcar brakes note front brake cooling ducting
Air suspension at rear with automatic adjustment via means of under seat mounted compressor and tank
Twin Turbos not so much for the power (350 cubes is enough!) but more for the WOW factor.... Lets call them reaction blowers... :biggrin:
Stainless steel frame which weighs in at 56k without the diff and exhaust
