Nice little ride!
"There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

You can view the orignal specs of that buggy at buggyx.com. It  has the F-N-R gearbox that came in the buggy but the original motor was yanked and a Honda VTR 1000 was put in. ( throw it in F and shift through the VTR gears ) If you contact Darren at buggyx.com, you can purchase that F-N-R gearbox. Upper and lower A-Arms all the way around. Original shocks were yanked and upgraded to FOX 2.0 remote res shocks 10" with dual springs and now has 12 inches of travel. The rear frame had to be modified for VTR install and removal. At last update cro-mo front suspension was being fabbed to replace the originals due to a little bending. The replacements are fully adjustable, and the wheel base is being increased by 5 " as well.  Original buggy had bump steer issues which are being worked out a little at a time. At the time of the video, the motor was putting out 95 HP and 68 ftlb of torque at the rear wheels. He plans to put an LSD center in the diff in the future. If you click on the video FIRST RUN NEW ENGINE, at the end of the video you can get a better view of the buggy.         8)

found it: http://buggyx.com.au/baja-v1000cc.html

I've driven against the KTM 525 - it's FAST!!!

But being a re-engined CORB I am genuinely concerned about the strength of the roll cage mostly, especially with all that power.
