Tiny ODBII Engines

lol fun loopholes, in IL if you use a lets say a 87 s-10 truck frame and build your own body its still classified as an 87 s-10, OR depending on what engine you use must comply with that years standards if you make a frame.
so if u find a 30 year old 4 banger (alot of the time people use old air cooled VW engines, light cheap, parts everywhere and plenty of power and bolt on power kits available for a dunebuggy/sandrail type vehicle)

as long as it complies with IL vehicle codes (bumpers lights reflectors tires, etc) then it can be licensed

maxi,

originally you posted ODBII. I was comenting on the on the ODB part not the 2 or II part.

Oh! I didn't even notice.

How about using a motorcycle engine if you you must use an OBD2 compliant engine?

[GasSavers_maximilian]

I did not know motorcycle engines had OBD2. I am surprised!

[GasSavers_BEEF]

wait a minute. if it is a motorcycle then it has a different set of rules to follow.

anything under 4 wheels is a motorcycle so just make a trike.

or buy one. www.wildfirevehicles.com (I hope that is right)

I actually looked at one. 45 is what they recomend and I don't know that I would want to take one any faster than that.

*edit* dang it, they are still doing stuff to their web site. here is a place to see pics of what I am talking about http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...6safe%3Dactive

I thought we were talking about OBD2 motorcycle engines. VT defines motorcycles as not have any sort of enclosure, so I can't go that route.

Wildfire, huh? Nifty. Wish their site was working.

The truck one reminds me of the APE.

[GasSavers_BEEF]

if the ape is from india, it may be made by the same company. maybe just different designs a little to appeal to the north american crowd.

I wouldn't take that thing over 45. With only one small front tire taking most of the stopping forces I wouldn't be tailgating in it either.
