Suggestion for the throttle pedal: Get a throttle pedal for a 2005 Chevy Silverado. It has a potentiometer built in, it's cheap, and if the Hayabusa throttle operates via a cable, that shouldn't be difficult to figure out. Just tack on something to the Chevy pedal to pull the cable. Anything is possible with an angle grinder and an appropriate welder.

The Wabbitt will be something else when finished, but how's Steve-on doing, and when will he be back? His wood working skills would come in handy when making a custom bed for the truck.👍

My first suggestion: VW Corrado G60 front brakes. They're the same 4x100 bolt pattern, but are 11" ventilated disks, instead of 9" solid. You need the rotors, calipers, and carriers. In order to fit all that on your early hub carriers you'll need adapters from Momentum Motorparts. You'll also need to upgrade to a 22mm, or larger, master cylinder. Again, Momentum has this, but others do as well. My other suggestion, but one that is probably waaaay out of your budget, would be the IRS and subframe out of a Mustang. Solid mount the center section, solid mount your engine, install driveshaft and then forget about it.

I'm literally laughing with tears over the hilarity!!! You've outdone yourselves. Full cheese on display. Sooo goood. In other news...great build. Thanks!

It's not him don't be fooled...

This engine combo is straight from my heart. You dudes read my mind.

However you set that drive shaft up to the busa trans , there has to be a slip yoke in there , if any thrust loads (giggity) Push or pull on that trans output then youll have aluminum soup oil from the gear sets eating into the cases. The slip will need room to move in and out enough to not bottom out with suspension travel. Also there are a few sites that sell ujoint yokes that bolt up to the busa trans output.

If they make a Rekluse clutch kit for the hyabusa you may be able to get the paddle shifters to work with that

I see that cyber atv and the not a flame thrower guy just having the time of his life on that field

Lol the drawing.. "interesting how thats a different color from everything's else 😂😂😅🤣

Uncle Rich needs a damn Oscar i swear 😅 awesome video yet again

This looks like it’s going to turn out way better than it should. One question that I actually have a little personal experience of, so not afraid to ask it. It looks like you’re mounting the Hayabusa rigidly to the frame. That’s going to make it loud and nasty in the cab and not in a way you’ll get used to. I’ve tried rigid mounts and the noise and vibration was incredible and it came in waves. It was almost bearable at some rpms and it made 4” thick wall box behave like spring steel at others. The resonance made it look and feel like the box was bending to impossible extents and the volume was unbearable. And I didn’t have a roof or windows! Have you a plan to deal with this, or have you done some clever mathematical stuff and worked out where the resonant frequencies will be and corrected for them? Or is there a hidden flexible mount somewhere that I couldn’t see, to absorb the vibes?

A dry ice blaster would be perfect for all the projects you do and would save you a TON of time BUT they are pricey($16,500). They are great for cleaning and de-rusting, etc. Search KZread for Dry Ice Blasters. Karcher has a IB 10/8 L2P dry ice blaster that creates dry ice from liquid CO2 tanks which in my opinion is much easier than having to ship and store large quantities of dry ice. Or not.

It might be a built in function if the (EV) controller was designed for 4WD with separate front and rear motors.

i know that a mercedes tuner (brabus) made a smart with hubmotors on the front wheels and the normal engine in the back , think they just operate the electrics off the same trottle that operates the gasmotor , the wheel speed will be the same as the rearwheels but the torq varries depending on the efficiancy at a certain wheelspeed not so mush programming , theres no thechnical wizzardy that reads the wheelspeed trottle position or delivered power from either end just one drive being held back a bit more than the other and working a bit harder , it kind of self levels , unless one of the two drive is turning the wheels in reverse there should be any spinning wheels if there is they could do some sort of traction controll / abs system in case one set of wheels breaks loose

I was just about so say...what a huge amount of work was completed... Great job...stay safe!

Hey bud. There are a few options for paddle shifters. Pingle makes a electric ram that can up and down shift. And you can have the ecu flashed for ignition and fuel kill so no clutch for up shifts even at full throttle. Now for down shifts I would keep a bar mount clutch handle and have a vertical bar to the shift linkage that you could pull the lever then pull or push the shifter to up and down shift and still have the same clutch control as OEM.

This is awesome. Can’t wait to see that truck reborn. Keep up the good work.
