Well after many years of being allowed to drive and living through my knee grow @Grease Monkey and all his Funco's, the dream became a reality. In the Funco family This is the brother to his current car that just got the re-do other than power plant and trans. We believe the car was originally built with a v8 per build sheet from funco Its a J35 turbo (low boost) with a 2d. Dont have a lot of experience with the Honda but am excited to learn so you Honda guys can be sure ill be full of questions.. @Kraut_n_Rice These Honda's have some long legs and the car handles amazing. There will be a short list of upgrades. Full prep, whole new radio kit as t…

My good friend Justin had introduced me Erik (very stand up guy)who sold me the Funco that was all original minus the LS3 swap. After my very season I decided to take it a part and do a makeover. This is what it looked like when I took possession.

Joined the Funco Family. @Grease Monkey took the wife for a ride Regatta weekend and she remembered how much she missed having a buggy so we went and picked this up immediately afterwards. Our last buggy was ~15 years ago and was a VW beam car... Listing was: 20062 Funco Hustler SSE 4 seat (#15) 420 horse Redline Northstar w/ MEFI, Mendeola 2-D, 930s, two-tube bypass Kings, radio & intercom with 4 head sets, 2 owner, factory built, professionally maintained, and super clean. Car is pretty much a time capsule... gages, lighting, etc. all original. Original paint still there but previous owner updated panels with some black vinyl. Went through the car …

In my OCD I was searching. I wanted to find a nice car for my wife and a backup for my trips. I really should not of bought another car but it's an addiction. My good buddy @Hondajimz knew of the car and I made an offer after speaking to the owner numerous times. A good friend of mine handled the logistics and brought it out to me . I will say this cream puff ran great, looked even better in person. Surprisingly it gave me no issues, love a turn key car with plenty of power. I am going to send it in for a rendition, so my wife can personalize it to her liking.

Need some guidance / Pictures for changing out a 2d to a S4/S5 Transaxle. I reached to to @onanysunday and asked him for pictures of his conversion that were lost in the change over. He suggested that I ask on here so that he could re-share them with everyone if others are in need.

Some of you may remember my last run of Cars. Last season was 4 different Funco's for me. Pretty much had a car on my flatbed every trip, coming or going from camp or storage. I ended up with a car I have always wanted and one I felt would check all my boxes after owning a newer G52 and an early light Hustler. The first trip with the car sealed the deal and it was smiles for miles. Second day with the car was unfortunate. Dogs in third gear were gone and i could not keep it in third without it popping out under load. Finished the season in a camp chair with ideas running thru my head. Decided I wanted the best of several worlds and to take what I liked it all those…

I have the 2d out of my Gen 4 for service and I brought home a S4 mock up from McMullen out here in Phoenix. This Gen 4 is an original V8 2d 930 car and I wanted to see if the S would fit. Here is a photo of why it doesn’t fit basically the back tube would have to be cut out of the car. I am not sure what the difference between this car and an original S4 car is but they are different. If that tube wasn’t there. The S would literally bolt into the car. Hopefully someone finds this helpful.

Hello, I am wondering what you would recommend for a direct replacement for my turn brake (if there is one available). I am also looking at replacing the brake and clutch assembly while I’m at it. The turn brake and pedal assembly are the original ones that came from Funco. Thanks for any and all suggestions, and happy holidays.

Just wondering if Funco uses an off-the-shelf radiator for the GEN 3 models or is it a custom built radiator specifically for the Sandrail.

This chassis was well used, its #02 and some one got a lot of dune time and forgot to tighten the suspension bolts regularly. There was a lot of wear and you can see signs of repair to the pivots. So we decide to cut them all off and put brand new Funco pivots back. We added a tube here and there for some added strength. The car is getting a rolled roof like the Gen 6, new one piece skid plate, inside floors front & rear, Rancho went through the 2D, Outfront is doing an inspection and some basic maintenance on the C&G Subi, brand new Gray Area front and rear hubs, all new tires, Jason at Next Level is doing the sheet metal - 3D roof, noise cover, full dash, inside…

I thought for sure I had a thread on here about the car, but I guess not. I don't have a ton of pics/vids on this computer, so I'll make this a quick one (well, by TJ standards ;) ). I bought the car at the start of the '20/21 season, and it looked like this (complete with two-story roofline and idler chirp): FWIW I got it with the trailer in the vid which it drives right in on the paddles. This car is an original Funco built/titled G52, and as such is the "narrow" car. Still, both paddles touch the door-seals as you bring it in on a 96-97" door. The car actually first hit the sand sometime in '15, and was only used 'til about '17 when the original ow…
