Since I already have too much to do,
and im in over my head with all my other projects,
I needed something to do for fun today.
SOOO, what better then to add even more work, in the form of a year long project build. Was planning on starting after my 2month trip to Serbia. But i got itchy fingers, already bought 2wrecks, picked one and started taking it apart.
My ludix build is coming to an end, some minor things left,
but i feel like i accomplished what i wanted to achieve with it.
That was to take apart and build a scooter al by myself, do some mods, and a lot of learning, failing, learning better, and applying it to that scooter. Nothing high end, because it was my first build.
Been working/riding on it for about 2 years now, first with airsal 70cc, atm with Stage 6 sport pro. This is the 3rd engine underneath it Tried several exhausts, broke stuff, wiped out, few times.
Most money was spent on tools rather then parts to do al the work, like sandblast kit,Tig-welder, nice ratchetset, bigass compressor with air tools, bandsaw, 3dprinter, several donor scoots, bought some wrong parst, bought some parts that broke fast, killed 2 engine blocks. Also bought, fixed up and sold 3 donor Ludi blasters that where too good to use for parts(better then the recieving scooter hehe)
Had many things happen to it, not starting, not starting , not starting ,rebuild rebuild rebuild, wire loom lost in a fire, wireloom cut up too bad to use anymore, lots of sparkplugs, think 10 sets of gaskets, airleaks everywhere, waterleaks, all new electrics, etc
As for expensive parts I got a pretty stock drivetrain, most things I did was renewing, painting, electrics, modding the frame, making it lighter etc. Just cilinder, carburetor and intake,
it goes almost 100kmph GPS at 93km/h atm with technigas at 9000RPM,
ive invested more money in it then ill ever get back from it,
and its time for another project,
while keeping the ludix as ready to go playscoot while creating a high end one, so its worth a lot to me, but in real life its not worth much at all
Ive always realized it would never be a high end scooter,
I didnt have the skills for that, and there simply arent that much parts available for Peugeot horizontal engines.
but it was/is worth it everytime I drive it,I get a big smile. When the exhaust for it is built and installed be done with it, and ill keep it like it is for what it is, a 70 cc build, that not too dangerous to drive on public roads, and didnt cost me 1000s of € in case i crash it or it gets crushed by the cops. I got plenty of spare stuff for it to keep it going for 20K km including an extra engine.
Im working on upgrading 3dprinter, drawing and desinging parts, making an exhaust for my current scoot, planning to go on work/vacation in 4 weeks, and coming back in september (maybe ill get a container and ship al my stuff there and stay there hehe).
Need to do 101 things before I go in 4 weeks, need to do 101 things when Im there, and ill have to do 101 things more to do when im back.
The exhaust building plans are ready to go, just need ordering (read need to pay moneys) and start bulding that.
Found a friend who will make the flange connection pipes at work, al the expansion chamber flat pattern drawing ready to send when i get paycheck,
3 silencers arrived and are collecting dust atm, so is my slip roll, anyways thats all going to get used very soon)
Thats the last thing and I also still have that renthal steer bar for it it and a koso unit. But thats it, for a ludix
thats more then enough money spent on it. Itl never be a real sprinter or showmodel, but its a hella fun dayly/fun drive scoot now.
ANYWAYS(my god)
So to zone out, and pretend I had nothing better to do today thenstart working on the next project, my winter project, itl take a year before its done im sure.
The plan as its in my head atm, ill need so much help and advice btw, and ill need to learn a lot, save for parts, desing shitloads of stuff, use al my skills and tools, call in the help from this forum, friends and famely. To build --->
Peugeot Speedfight show/sprint like there is no other.
Butget in mind 5000€ and unlimited labour, and lots of help and discounts Might have to sell my car to finish it but hey...
- strip frame of everything and prepare for repaint is what ive started doing today. pictures in the bottom.
Getting ready for sandblasting (at friends job)
- customize , cut , saw and weld and what not to the frame or off it to make it strong, but light, cool and hot
- when the frame is painted, buy upgraded front suspension/diskbrake/rear suspension.
- buy sport steering bar, brake levers,with brake oil pumps, add stage 6 or KOSO headunit.
- Then MAX out my visa and owe the bank for some time to get malossi C engine.
- Add Biggest possible ROOST cilinder to that, might go for a pollinini or 2fast one maybe, will need advice and thinking.
Ill contact a tuning company to help me out with the nitro/NOZ plans, making sure itll hold the forces etc...
- Electronic egnition, overrange system,gearset for sprinting, al the bells and whistles.
- Create/desing/engeneer a nitromethane or noz injection system, Im thinking 3d printing nylon manifold with injector there (a dream i been having) I dont know/*havent researched lots about this jet, so pls dont shoot me down...
I do know some guys in the motor drag race scene, and both should be doable with ghetto-foggin into the manifold. Basically injecting the fluid or gas into the manifold, and hope it dont explode. ill do tests of this with the engine that i have under it now, just to see what exactly is goin to happen, will need modification, get idea how itl all work.
- Build another custom Exhaust for this monster cylinder, again Stainless, more segments, more welds, and with more expierience.
- Add an extra water cooling radiator, make aluminium or plastic box for some Lipo battery system to power an electric waterpump from a car.
- Build 2 aluminium gastanks, one for normal fuel system, a smaller one for the nitro injection system/Or a bracketsfor a smal NOZ tank.
- Desing some kind of torsen look a like mount.
- Build a seat, colormatch it to the paint, or do something special to it.
- Make custom bodykit from fiberglass, have it painted professionally (airbrush friend) . I like naked sprinters, but I do want to hide some stuff , and get a certain look to it.
- A whole other list of stuff i forgot atm and wll need to do/pay/make/draw/desing/beg/loan/borrow
- Some nice lightweight rims and some slick tires on them. balanced and sticky
Offc this scoot will never be driven on public roads, and be kept for meetings, shows, occasional sprintracing, and as a high end playthingy.
How i got lucky and found money to do this-->
I got a supprize gift from my folks, a 10 year old mercedes with 200 0000Km so
Instead of buying a car Ill drive the merc cus its stilla cool car in my head and the engine will eazely do another 200K
And decided to spend my savings money for a car on this hobby and go pro (or try to look pro hahah),
If itl be woth it i cant tell, butt ill upp my skills building this, and whats money anyways... Ill never have enough to buy a house anyways even if i would save it all, so i buy tools, and play with scooters.
its all coming from the fact that I used to do motorcrss, but back injuries made that impossible to keep doing (3hernia's and a discuc implant). I just like 2strokes more then ill ever love a 4stroke bike even if the 2stroke is only a scooter, and offc, why buy something everyone can buy, I love making something that noone has.
And ofcource, im super jelous of some of you guys scooters with 90+cc hyper engines, i just gotta have one too.
Offc i want a Porshe or ferrari, or some crazy high speed motercycle, but simply said, This is fun to do , and its (barely) afforable.
Here are the first pictures
