So this has been a day i've been waiting for for a while, and to be honest I didn't fully know IF this day was going to come.. but with some mega perseverance, and with the help of some amazing people on the way... WE ARE HERE!
Enjoy the video :)
This is amazing! A roll cage and some strengthening to the floor etc and this would be epic! Please keep it on the channel it's the best build to date
they is a full roll cage already in the relient from factory just not scene do the the fibre body i agree a frame needs meakinga nd a metal floor adding as they is no strngth now to the stock floor even if it just a frame from left side of chassy to the right side to hold the seat and other bits that need bracing
a roll cage is an essential item....I always remember as a kid on my BMX one Sunday playing in a tesco car park (the days when shops were closed) and these lads with a Robin were jazzing around the car park and of course they went and rolled it, and some 5 year old kid went up to them and told em "you crashed because you had a wheel missing mister!"
Del & Rodney said they are proud lee 😂 you gotta spray it yellow now with a trotters decel on the side 😂
Gotta be done
Tit would probably be appropriate don't know if I can say that but I mean Rodney did about dels dream penthouse with the initials on the side mind you the vans got it in full.and then a blow up doll sticking out the back
Naah true rallysaki
That would be cool 😊
Completely the wrong car though :)
lol you need to pull the clutch in every time you change gear 😂
imagine having to explain this....
Not with a bike gearbox you don't!
@@bob521i Only if you know how to.
Not with a bike gearbox …if you are in the right rev range
Which he unsurprisingly wasn’t .
Even as a biker I suspect this would be tricky to change gear on ….especially on this disastrous creation
Not on a bike you don't
Absolutely brilliant lee, best project you’ve ever done, followed you since the early days and can’t wait to see the next project, well done, you should be proud 👍
As an avid biker, i absolutely love this series mate! Keep up the work Lee!
pllls take that women out of the car
*Excellent. So glad you'll be MOT'ing the resin rocket!*
looking forward to the MOT
U really think this would ever be road legal haha 😂
Depending on the age it might be tax and Mot exempt
Ide seriously think about having one if road legal @CuriousGamer022
@@nitromad3662still needs mot its been modified
😂
Why do people show 98% making and 2% driving. It should be 50/50 .
that’s why i always seek to the driving parts
that's why i made it myself
One of the best videos you've made , like this style of vid, well done!!
Dont be scared you young pup! Your race survived the Bloody Blitz !
In Tamworth they are everywhere....but it's where they was built.....yep I've got one to...😂
Great video, great editing and highly entertaining 👌
Id definitely be thinking of an external roll cage if at all possibly. Would seem a shame not to be able run this animal to the limits but your safety first of course. Great work, 👍
So want to drive it ! Great work
This is proper determination.
Every single video, with all the stuff that went wrong it's still got done..
If this doesn't inspire you to grab a wrench.. Nothing will.. 👍🏾 🤜🏾
Awesome Lee lad absolutely brilliant fare play to ya.. can’t wait for next drive once safer to drive 👌👍🏻👊🏻
just remember clutch on shifting too! mental mate glad to see progress! and the ebc clutch is probably snappy too!
This for sure has the quickest 0 to A&e time on draggy😂
Gonna be so funny when this machine is fine tuned 😂🤣👍🏼
Mad Video Lee 👍
It's absolutely barking and I want a go in it! 😂
Treat the clutch like a car clutch lad clutch on every gear else you'll fry it quick time lad sick that tho I'd bang some trolley wheels on front corners 😂
They would just break. Better to add a steel bar like on trikes.
Yes the pigs alive 😂 well done dude. You might want to upgrade that rear axel.. One from a MG Midget will bolt straight on.. You might also need the brakes 👊👊 keep up the good work.
utter brilliant mate get those gears sorted and your away lee you know it makes sense
I think for safety, revision 2 should have a custom chassis/roll cage.
You need a gear indicator...cheap as chips and a doddle to fit....and find a way to tie the engine, gear selecting and gear lever solid mounted to each other as they are on bikes.
Amazing video again lee
Another Fantastic Vlogs ever 👌
Makes no sense. Again
Awesome, I would get that clutch on a pedal, looks like you will have enough on your hands without having to think about the hand clutch
Yeahhhh boy been waiting since the insta story for this one!!
Well done Lee - That was awesome ! - It just needs a little more work and it should make a great daily driver ! - You're a smart lad - I'm 100% Sure you'll sort it mate - Can't wait to see it in action in the next video ! - Delboy & Rodney will be so proud of you ! lol 👍👍👍
Absolutely brilliant!
As both a biker and car enthusiast, this has definitely been my favourite series on your channel!
Superb, well done lee
It moves! This was so funny can't wait to see it get better and better 😂
Hope stays on the channel for a long time to come. Great content as always 👏
This is unreal I just wanna see it go through some gears now ! 😂
Try using the 'working' clutch when you change gear, you'll find it works so much better........
So is that it ? Taking it on the true rally tour ? 😂🤩
That would be pure laughs 😂😂😂
is that it in terms of the build? no way.. we couldn't even go that fast! just wait
No I mean now it’s running and you know you’re onto a winner, is that a candidate on true rally 😂
In case you don't know most Kawasaki motorcycles have a positive neutral, if you put it in 1st gear and the prop shaft isn't turning it won't select 2nd it will only go into neutral.
The prop shaft will have to be turning for it to go into 2nd.
I thought i'd mention it in case you sort out the gear linkage and then spend ages trying to figure out why it won't go into 2nd gear when it's standing still.@@itsleelockwood
The build the excitement is just prime e example of how us blokes are so easy to please and will never grow up
That’s going to be a beast needs a full roll cage welding into it and I’d definitely want 4 wheels 😂
Rodney you plonker!
Class mate definitelylook at making frame work stronger under the fiberglass for mounting the gear stick and the fiberglass shell... Great fun build....
Like waiting for Christmas as a kid. Been dying to see this Frankenstein move.
Come a long way after being sat on my mates driveway 😂 glad to see dug lives on!!
Absolute quality video man and a awesome build hats off sir 😎👌🏽
Love how this is hilarious….a why wouldn’t it be😂😂……it’ll be great further down the line when you’ve sorted out the botch work😎👍🏼
This is brilliant make, please spend the time tidying it all up, this is one of the best series on YT 👍👍
Mental but not the first Reliant bike engine swap i have seen. Good start, more work needed though. Good luck
All I knew when Reliant and bike engine combine some crazy Englishman was gonna flip it. Please cause carnage.
this time next year lee you'll be a millionaire or a mechanic lol
Once you get the gear lever mounted more securely and can get all gears id recommend getting a gear indicator so you know what gear your in.
Listening to this makes me really miss my Westfield Megablade. It was so much fun on the road having 10k plus clutchless gear changes, flames out the exhaust.
Motorbike gearboxes are so precise you don't need the clutch, to change up a gear just preload the gear lever and it will find the next gear itself as soon as you back off the throttle. to downshift, preload the lever and blip the throttle.
The video we all have been waiting for. Good stuff.
Can’t believe you drilled the fuel line, luck you had some spare.
WOW, this build is just amazing 😂😂...but please pull the clutch everytime you shift 🙏🙏🙏
This is a quality build... Would love to see this properly kitted out to a decent spec! I'm loving watching this build!
This is fantastic, enjoyed this vlog, interested to see it whip fully and to see how you tidy it up a bit 💪🏻
I literally couldn't love this project more, this thing is incredible and terrifying xD
PMSL! Just AWESOME! well done fella, looking forward to more of this!!!!
😂😂😂😅that made my Monday 😂😂
Just fine tune it and it will be amazing.. great video but really waiting for the e30 videos
It been a cool series putting a bike engine in a big green plastic bucket
You might be able to fix the gear shift problem by using another cable, extend the bottom of the gearshift and the lever on the gearbox so that when one cable is pulling the other is pushing and vice versa.
Need to get on Jamie’s OG battles
When you finally get it on the road you will probably need outriggers to stop it from falling over round corners lol!
Well that was definitely worth the wait!!! Fantastic effort 👌🏻.Say this every time but can’t wait for the next video!!!
Great effort lad! The video we have all been waiting for!
Great project so far but seriously need to invest a roll cage and wheelie bars then it'll be fine 😆
Cant wait to see a steel balled effort driving this thing haha
The engine is not lacking power that's for sure. When this thing shifts, you're gonna shit yourself 🤣🤣🤣
Hey #CZcams thanks a bug for dropping this video as recommend....just by watching this video....i was having the blast😂....looks so much, its the driver who has having full oriented FUN...lol...keep up the fun stuff coming ...mate.....
The legend of Dan!
The world's first reliant drift car😂
Lol yeah like that thing will drift. I mean yeah if by drift you mean roll.
You can't roll over if you have no grip
Get a kliktronic unit for the gear shift , lets you change gear via a set of buttons.
Now thats freaking sketchy!! I like it :)
This is batshit crazy. And totally, insanely awesome.
Loving this build!! you deffo need to weld in a sheet metal flooring of some kind to strengthen it all up
I always thought you were a sandwich short of a picnic mate. You have proved me 💯💯💯 right 😂😂😂
Cool, love it. Hope you do get it roadworthy 👍
Awesome job Lee I’ve loved the series 😊 can’t wait for the next one
it helps if the gears are moving, it'll be easier to put it in neutral while its running or being rocked back and forth
That is awesome! Only issue is are you not worried plod might turn up when you do these projects? Someone on that busy industrial estate is probably snotty enough to report you.
If a copper saw that thing on the road (even in that industrial estate, private land or not, still a "public place") I think he'd have a fit and throw the book at you! Bastards 🤣
I only mention it as I've had the same thing happen to me - on an industrial estate, while testing my just nearly finished noisy motorbike project just up a few yards and back.
Didn't even question me as it clearly wasn't complete, threw me in the back of their car and done me for no insurance.
Would be good to make a floor pan for the front welded to the chassis with shifter peddle box seat bolted to that ant cut more of the floor out on the body to suit. You could even hinge the body at the back so it lifts up drag style
Place the cable in a pipe lad. Copper pipe is easy to bend and won’t let the cable flex. Saves drilling anymore plates and can be attached to the base of the gear lever.
Well done. Now take it to Melbourne dragway near York, with all the other weird stuff. A guy there races a garden shed with an Audi V8 engine. Not kiddin'. 😅
What a series bro 💪💪 Wishing you all the best!
Cant wait too this all sorted and running smooth its gonna be crazy ! 🙂
Use the clutch when u change gear bro 😂
Mate I rarely comment! But man I cannot wait to see her finished!!!!🙏🙏 you are smashing these uploads
Roll cage needed love it 👍
Fantastic! It's ridiculously funny and awesome at the same time! Reminded me of Mr. Bean 😃
back in mid 90s my dad took me to school in it and was yellow lol
Eyyyyy finally, the catfish yesterday had me waiting till you uploaded this one haha. Class vid as always Lee
Can wait to see this thing on the road definitely one of your best projects even though it’s one massive bodge job 😂
Love the pace you get videos out, not waiting months for progress like my videos lol.
from looking at gear selection the shift cable needs bracing to the same metal that the selector lever is on and the engine side needs bracing to the engine mount brace that should stop the play would be very easy to do a foot clutch to swap the forwed for up gear flip the gear selector on the engine so the arm is at top rather then bottom this will reverse the selection and make it more what your used to even tho i think forwed for faster backward for slower makes more sense
Need new reliant seats 😂 love seeing the build sounds great
Please never touch my car or bike 😂
“Can’t select second” at the end, you were pushing it forward as you were before to get it from first to neutral!
13:15 that feeling!!!!! hahaha
man, significant fact, spin more then 8k for second gear, normal range between 8-12k, release clutch fully, open throttle fully, on cold oil clutch always slips, twist throttle man, dont be coward. (and, when low rpm, and when you stays on place and younot roll, in kawasaki almost imposible to swich on to second gear)
