ok who's sweet "national" is this??

[T- Type Tim]

Do you guys go to dumont or glamis? And what chassis?

 

[Evans Ward]

Love it as it's very unique! Any downsides or special precautions on running a boosted application in all of that sand?

 

[TURBO 6]

Very impressive! Well done.

 

[Otto J]

Sand National, I like it!

Just wondeint if you've ever weighed it? That thing has to be light as heck.

Dumont about 10-15 times a year and Glamis 3-5 times.......Its an SCU.

It weighs 2775 with no one in it full of fuel.

Just very meticulous on maintenance.oil change after every trip...air filter service after every 5 hours of duning. Its alot of maintenance but the first press of the loud pedal is worth every bit of it.......no speed limits guys and a never ending roller coaster

I'm suprised it's that heavy but with all the caging I can see why.

 

[JimP]

Well done, your attention to detail is crazy. That's one beautiful machine!

We need more duners on this site , don't you think?

 

[86brick]

Very cool!

No I kinda like being a rarity and having a powerplant that very few people run.

 

[T- Type Tim]

true.. i have only seen 2 other cars with buick turbo power in the dunes in the 30 years i have been going. neither were as nice as yours, not even close. The exhaust note is unmistakeable when you hear one ... even a couple dunes away!

 

[GN owner]

What does your driveline consists of?

 

[gnpoweredrail]

It has an Abins AGB 5 speed transmission with 934 outboard hubs and 300m axles.
The trans comes out of Australia and is based off of a vw transaxle but is like king kong on steroids

 

[Wknight13]

Again..very nice...thanks for sharing the pictures. Gotta show this off to the buds.

 

[Red C5]

That thing is awesome!

 

[gnpoweredrail]

just sucks because dune "season" is the winter time so the car basically sits in the summer because its too damned hot to go play...Im itching to drive it again!!

 

[jdsgnx]
