Gingus Sport

 

Before using the Honda c90 engine for anything good we decided it needed testing. to do this we though we would give the gingus one last bid of life before we scrapped it. The plan was to make an ultra fast gingus with the Honda engine that would be a real beast. After two days of cutting welding and bashing the gingus up with a big hammer we ended up with the gingus sprot... strop... sptor... SPORT. with the engine running and working it didn't take us long to realise it was geared down far to much and it would only do 20 or so mph in top gear maxed out roaring its bollocks off. Also as the power was given to only one rear wheel if you applied power you WOULD loose control as it lifted the front wheels clear of the ground and swerved off to the right. This resulted in a few slow speed crashes into walls just trying to drive it normally. we gave up and quickly built the SPV

Note the extra cool skull gear knob on the sequential shifter and the keep your distance sticker to remind Smythe not to crash
