Hows this for fun ................ pics tell the story It's powered by 1000cc v twin honda bike engine weighs not alot and goes like a cut snake. We couldn't get his gtech to work properly on it to get times but figure 4-5 sec 0-100, traction is a challange as it's still spinning the tyre in 3rd easily. He still has a bit work to do on it to finish it off before it gets rego'd ie body work and lights etc but it already gets the "wtf" is that syndrome, i was offered a drive but took a rain cheque as my luck the cops would show up and i dont think i could talk my way out of the situation. Heres a utube link from a few weeks ago http://www.youtube.com/user/Audiofixqld#p/a/u/2/KsbSs6dLSgg and will post the link for the newer footage when he uploads it. |

I'm not sure how he will get it rego'd, but i believe he has submitted designs to dot and has also had engineer to inspect it. In qld it seems we have very tight restrictions on building cars but trikes are dont have to meet same regulations. As far as burnouts go it doesn't produce alot of tyre smoke but it does do impressive donuts , except the guy taking the video didn't get that. Will get some more vids ( i'm sure he wont mind taking it for another run ) |

That thing is awesome! I want one! What's the cornering like though? Oh and will it have any body panels to get rego or just the skeleton? Crazy! |

I think the cornering will be fairly good, the gtech showed a bit over 1g lateral but it wasn't working properly so i dont know how correct that is and also he wasnt exploring the limits corning adhesion yet. It will have body pannels of some description, it hasn't even got a proper floor yet. |

Well i can revive this It is now rego'd and a load of fun to drive He has driven down to sydney ( from the sunshine coast ) and back in it without any problems, apart from people asking what the f@#$ is that. Gets a crowd where ever he goes. Andrew is showing a work mate the basic operation who is about to have a drive. It's very cool... if only i had some spare coin and could weld... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1XXDp2w5FU&feature=player_embedded |

Well the tripod made it up to cape york about a year ago , so this time andrew and i drove it to wilson's prom to complete the most northern and southern points on mainland australia. It was a 12 day roadtrip with a trip to the motogp thrown in, about 5200km were covered which i think was just long enough 2 up ( tripod wasn't designed for long distance travel ) This thing handles great, think its the closet thing to a gokart on the road. Meet some interesting people and drank a amount of beer to wash down ingested bugs and had a great time. facebook link for any interested https://www.facebook.com/TriPodCars http://www.tripodcars.com There is a dozen or so of these kits being built around the country atm and some being made in the usa as well. This weekend he running it at the noosa hillclimb , will interesting to see how his times compare to other cars....... |
