do it, but get a really good health insurance policy...

it could be a bit offun! possibly an engineering nightmare though... and you'd need a body that no-one would lynch you for cutting up. unless you made a chassis and used old panels or bits of vans that were already trashed.

what would cornering be like? depending on where you put the middle wheels i think they would wear out pretty quick

I've seen sillier things done. I say go for it if you want to. After all we're all looking for that something different to do. Not everyone wants to see the same things over and over. Just look at what the Poms get up to. But whatever you do, take your time and do it well.

Give it a go , 6 wheel steering perhaps to avoid the middle set scrubbing and breaking traction ? Just make sure the passenger cell is built like a nuclear bomb shelter though because if it works and you have an "off" it's going to hurt ...

Why not do three VTEC conversions and keep the third one after you work out all the bugs on the first two :idea:
