What honda motor is it?
What kind of ECU are you going to use?

It's the 3.5 Honda. J35A4. I love the design and the size/weight of this thing. Should have done the swap long time ago. RIP vw
Ecu is factory Honda.

When we were down on the dunes about a week ago I went to where I saw the Honda V6 powered sandrail with one of the reasons being to get pix of it. It was gone but I was told about the rear suspension: it is what was referred to as a 5-link. Each side of the rear suspension had two single radius rods (= 4 rods) then there is a diagonal rod to keep the body centered. All the rods have spherical rod ends.

That's the most I can say but if I get a chance to photo it I will.

I got the 220watt Super ATV power steering. I believe the Suave Racing guys used the same one. I've had it for 5-6 years now and beat the crap out of it. Not one problem!

[fordfreak]

First test run. Not one hiccup. Absolute beast!! super happ with how everything worked out.

That is a sharp looking buggy, any pics of the motor mount area tying into the bottom tubes?

[fordfreak]

Oh it does! It's stupid fast lol Nice to have that low end torque when I'm climbing a hill. My 2276 I'd have to hold at 3k rpm and burn my clutch to get anywhere. It was either on or off! haha
