there is a guy here in Cbus with one. He used to come to some of our motorcycle meets. There is also a Pulsar and my buddy bruce owns a tri-hawk (citroen powered).

Defintley looks like something from the 70's. I wonder what mods it has?

most were GL1000/GL1100 Gold Wing powered, though I have seen at least one CB750 engined one. If I remember correctly you take the forks off the bike and literally bolt the rest of the motorycle from the neck to the rear tire to the tri-magnum chassis.

 

here is a GL1100 powered one:

Its been on craigslist for over a month. The problem is the drive shaft needs to be balanced and it basically has a tune to get down the road. Could be a good deal or a shit show since the motor is trashed.

[Otis Nice]

Ok so its not craigslist nor for sale...

 

We should create a section where we can share vids or pics. Maybe even a thread just for lol-worthy posts. Man, if only...

 

Maybe we'll get those in 2018.

 

Kidding. That thing is ludicrously lol/cringe worthy.

Man this is a clean 96 TT 300ZX

nice price or crake pipe? I don't know anything about them. Guy actually posted on the FJ forum as a 'willing to trade' post.

At 48k miles. With upgraded turbos.

 

NOT at 148k miles and a bunch of bolt-ons.

eh...I dunno. a Z32 twin turbo is a commitment to own, or so I have been told. Everything is so packed tight in that engine bay that even basic service and repair sometimes needs the bumper and headlights off. Still 1996 is the rarest year with only 577 TT's produced

 

That car has more than just a bunch of bolt ons and it has upgraded turbos, but still 148K miles is hard to look past. The ebay listing has a lot more of the upgrades listed and there are a lot:

To a 300zx z32 fanboi, I could see this being a "nice price" market price car, but for me crack pipe because $20K can by some way cooler stuff.

[Otis Nice]

Crack pipe.

Thats a cool little car. Didn't they come with like a 1 liter engine? like 60hp?

Base engine was a 1.1 liter that made 60-something hp. The Optional engine was 1.9L and made about 100hp. Most US cars have the 1.9L engine.

 

The 1.9 engine is really interesting because it is a "cam in head" design but not an "overhead cam". The cam runs along side the valve train and actuates the valves through a tappet and a rocker arm. This was an exclusive opel design and was on a lot of their 4cyl and 6cyl engines. It has a surprisingly long competition history in Rally racing and Lotus once made a 3.6L version that was twin turbo.

Looks like if you take off all the stuck on garbage (ahem..and the wheels), its a cool little car with a seemingly legit body kit....had to look up that the spoiler wasn't just some backwards one from something else lol. https://www.opelgtsource.com/store/gt/body_kits/body_kits.html
