my RZR1 build

megadesertdiesel · 10-05-2009, 10:58 AM

well i cannot leave anything alone. it started Labor day weekend watching the Weller race rhino with an R1 engine scream by, the sound comming from that car was badass. then 3 weeks ago i was practicing on the Speedworld track and knew my rzr needed more and Weller was the place to look into.
so i stopped byt their shop and talked to them about the possibility of putting a R1 in my RZR. Jason said anything can be done and that sold me.
i hurried up and secured a motor off the internet and sent a shop in VA some money for it, well 2 weeks later i am still waiting on the motor which should arrive tomorrow so says UPS freight.
i have been all over the internet looking at R1 forums and mini buggy forums to get ideas and knowledge.
i started by pulling the drivetrain and selling most of it, then cut out all of the tubing i will not need. there was 2x more that i did not take a picture of.

then i was bored this weekend and decided to make an actuated lightbar with the 4 Hella 55 watt hids i stole of the wifes rhino.

next was to add the clutch pedal

tonights update
i finally recieved the motor i had it in my truck for about an hour then dropped it off at Wellers. gotta get engine mounts made, they look alot like the 07, 08 mounts but Jason had to make sure.
then i installed a fuel level sending unit for my new Dakota Digital 4 function gauge. the stock polaris sending unit would not work with the new gauge so i ordered a sending unit from Black Rhino.

After hearing corry's rhino at firebird I keep thinking about a r1 instead of rotax.

This thing is going to be sick! I can't wait to see it on Halloween. I sure hope it's done!
BTW... It's almost hard to call this a RZR with all the fab work and Terry hood, but who gives a eff what it is! It will be a monster. Think you will give BigMike a run for his money?
