Ok, what started out as a joke, is now a happening thing!

Here's the first pic!



As far as more, you're just gunna have to wait! hahahaha

Ok then, here's some more of the ol' girl. hahaha









Now I know the wheels aren't solids, but they look cool, praise be to a Talon Lawn Falcon. Lets face it, it's not going to be in regular use!

Some people might ask "Where's the muffler?" Simple, there isn't one! I've engineered the exhaust to give it enough back pressure to run properly without one. You'll have to wait for the video to hear it! I just have to work out how to put it on Youtube! Never done it before!

I know the design of the manifold doesn't give the best performance, but with this setup, probably not high on the agenda! Decided the Mazda RX8 exhaust was going just too far! hahaha

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I've lowered it too, right down into the weeds! hahahaha

I hate most aspects of it Greg, but it looks rather neat. Well done. It's like building a Harley chopper: you are making crap into worse crap, but with enough thought and labour you can end up with it looking kind of existentially natty.

Lmao...Shes FAT Greg,The Exhaust side view is White HOT,love it....All of it!That exhaust is Tough!Would love to have seen a Ram over that air box.Great Imagination,Great Colour and a lot of FUN.I know a lot of my Drag Mates would love this.Good on you Mate!!!!

Thanks for the comments, just a crazy exercise!! hahahaha

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room!

Well done Greg strange yes but truly amazing.Still think the RX8 muffler should have stayed on it gave it the smack in the that most of us need from time to time. In fact I need one now.

Now i havent heard mention of it actually being a working product so im afraid im totally unimpressed.


I would be very impressed if you gave me a link to a youtube video of you mowing with it and it coming in hard on the govenor.
I think you might have to head to a nursery and mow some saplings to get it working that hard.


Talon wheels are a nice touch.
Flames are a nice touch.
Exhaust looks good. Might i suggest little mini truck/tractor flaps on the tops of the pipes.
I like the paint off the top of the turner 18 on the front. I would also suggest you do that to the ribs on the front to give it the shark tooth grill look about it.
