Strungup Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 9 Cylinder Radial Airplane engine ........ in a Matchbox LOL . that engine is probably about 350 HP , WW1 era , early WW2 Airplane engine , and from the looks of it this guy was an engineer on the flight line , he seems to know that engine all too well ......... Making half the parts for it . The Fokker DR1 , had a 7 cylinder Radial in it . so it isnt far off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobt Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 @bob your car ? Hi Stuge, I wish I had an even small portion of the machinery to make this car, from what I gather it was made by a retired aircraft engineer in Romania, I have to make do with a Kia Pregio diesel van, at least I can burn cooking oil!

sfbp Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 10 litre engine, omg. Sure looks and sounds like Germany, not Romania (license plate, roads, inscription on car, music at end). The Internationale was a nice touch but maybe this was an Ossi engineer, not a Wessi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobt Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Yeah did you watch the Part where he fired it outside the Garage , Fire Breathing beast !!!! I had a friend years ago who had a Harley with straight pipes, if you drove it gently it made a nice sound, but if yougave it a hard turn on the throttle, it would break windows, anyway, he got pulled over one night, police thought it was too loud, they asked him to rev it, he very slowly revved it, policeman was confused, put his ear by the pipes, Jesse did what he had to do, cracked it to wide open throttle, must have very nearly deafened the poor guy, and anyone else within a few hundred feet, got a ticket for stunting. That engine must be a lot louder, if you search youtube for radial motorcyle, you'll see a guy in Australis who put a seven cylinder radial in a motorcycle, very wild Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
