Thanks y'all for the input. These are actual concerns I have, that you have confirmed. I had a rail shipped from Washington state years ago, and it was a disasterous nightmare. I have forgotten most of the details, so your experience helps me to try to be cautious. This is a pic of the car. 

Can anyone help me with suggestions/advise about who to contact to ship a sandcar from California (Apple Valley, I think) to Little Sahara sand dunes in Oklahoma? I need to get an idea about cost. 

Does anyone use this hub? The male spline is 1.3" in diameter. It has a spline count of 30. (I may have asked this question before) I bought it at a sprint car shop, but haven't been able to find a replacement. I have replaced the pins, but it still gets stuck. I have done the usual searches and...

Oh yeah, well I built a "mobility cart" for my pet skunk that is having issues with nerves in her back legs!! (Does that count?) All aluminum, brass, and velvet.

I think mine was listed as an 05-2016 Legacy Spec B, so it is different than the one in the ad you linked. I had never seen that before, but the 6 speed is new to me. I definitely don't need anything above 3rd, but the case is definitely stronger than the 5mt. My buggy is light with low hp, so I...

I swapped to a Subaru 6 speed transaxle in my mid engine buggy. I used the stock clutch and slave cylinder. It pulled the throw out bearing apart after a short run. Does anyone here have experience or knowledge of a pull type clutch? I have studied this on the bench and cannot really understand...

Best buddies.

This is Sissy. (Skunk) She turns 8 years old in a few months. Real sweetheart. And Swifty, my dog. (Loves the dunes) And even though my German Wirehair, Blitz, has passed, I still have to include her 

I saw a BMW powered sandcar in a ad several years ago. I can't seem to find it now. Does anybody know of any? I am trying to find out how to adapt a transaxle, and what kind, to a BMW N20 engine. Kennedy says they only make one for a 2002 1.6L and 3.0L. And those are only for VW trannies.

20211020_184449.mp4 I have mentioned this before, but I run a stock Subaru 5mt, that I have converted to 2wd, in my mid engine sandcar. I finally broke it last week. I think the diff broke in half, not sure yet. I have considered swapping to the sti ra 6 speed, but that creates problems at...

Budlight, you will laugh at mine, if you haven't noticed it before. It was an emergency fix at the dunes. I need one because I still use the old cnc pedals with a stock Subaru slave cylinder, on a Subaru trans. It worked, so I just left it.

2TurboFords, did you go from beam front to a-arm? I have a buddy that designed and builds "replacement" a-arm suspension.  And to any critics, yes he knows his geometry!  (I don't) Funny, I was going to list "gates for your house" in the header for this thread. That bike reminds me of the...

My newest air filter. The sides will be enclosed with a short tube attached for air inlets to each side. So I can use normal pre-filters on them. Budlight-foot rest?

This may not help you much, but I run a stock mt5 that I modified for my sandcar. It is mid engine, though. I removed the center diff, locked the shafts, and installed a 4.44:1 ring and pinion. My last motor dynoed at 245hp/258 ft/lbs torque to the hubs. I am not a drag racer or a clutch dumper...

Those are all perfect examples.  I "modified" an aluminum flatbed trailer for my buggy, but EVEN I am too embarrassed to show it!!! Yours is much nicer. This is another set of headers I just built. Hoping they pass the dyno test.

Bobalos, I have followed your mods on here. Like it! Rockwood, I hope all turned out ok. I dune with an awesome bunch of guys, from all over. Mostly all self built cars. Those that aren't have their own special characters. I hope my duning buddy from Wichita will show his passenger side...

I would like to see people's homemade stuff. I know you ladies and gents are out there. Doesn't need to: live up to others expectations, please the masses, be perfect, made with computers or cnc tubing benders. Or even sandcar related. Maybe you built a go-kart for you kid, or a special...

Mid engine, 2.5 Subaru, no windshield. Self built sandcar. Dyno numbers and infrared thermometer show it does work, even though it is a cheap intercooler. 

I am installing this one to my new 15000 btu rv a/c today.
