Badly modified cars thread Mk2

Seems to me that if you are going to do that, the top wheels at the back should be be touching both sets of lower wheels.

No they would lock up as the lower wheels would be driven in different directions

Its another tidy job!.. what the hell its supposed to achieve I don't know.. bit of mix of brakes going on behind those wheels too.

Why did people think that colour was cool?!

Not a lot if this statement for their web site is anything to go by

"This car cannot be brought to the highway because besides the modification process has not been completed, and the car's roadworthiness permit is not taken care yet as well."

Two turds for the price of one

I fking dread to think what's going to be parked between those two monstrosities later this evening

Is that a '90's, Nissan Pulsar (probably replica) vent on that Roadster?

Sometimes your luggage needs some ventilation haha

Although having just blown the pic up to full size, it looks like the vent's one of the non functional / self adhesive stick on pad jobbies. Even better

If the top set were just freewheeling like they currently are then wouldn't they still turn, but backwards , like they do now?

But the with the top wheel touching the two bottom ones in a piramid formation (ie top wheel in the top-middle position) the two lower wheels will be forcing the top wheel in two different directions.

Your diagram shows the opposite of what you are claiming....

That shows how it would need to work - not how it would'nt work. Three gears / wheels cannot work in the formation mentioned.

Why not?

If the two rear wheels were in contact with each other,as well as the road it wouldn't work, with or without the top wheel, but with a gap between them, as in the photo, it works just like your diagram shows.

Might want to check that

Arr yes - sorry - assuming one of the lower wheels is the driven wheel (which it is here) at a brief glance I thought we were talking about the top wheel being the driven wheel - which would have explained why only one of the lower wheels is in contact with the top wheel.

It doesn't matter which wheels are driven so long as all three don't touch. ie wheel A can touch either B or C but not both, B can touch both A and C but C can touch only A or B but not both.

Which is why, when I made my original comment I suggested that the top set of wheels should be touching the bottom two sets and not that the bottom two sets should be touching each other.

I think we can move on now
