I don't think your gonna like that one link setup. Just like a radius arm setup it gives shitty squat #s. I love how original this build is though.

I seen some pics of it on Instagram. It's painted black and looks pretty badass. :****:

I'm friends with him on Facebook. He's taken it out a few times. He did mention selling at one point. But, I think we have all done that at some point during a build.

Damn...just can't see devoting that much time/effort/labor/$$$ into something then selling it off after a few rides.

I wonder if I could get in the "LEASE A BUGGY" program? Have a buncha people doing builds for me all the time then just rotate them around after a 3 ride maximum lease.

Yes...there would be many MANY papers to sign for liability and financial responsibility!

I didn't build this car just to sell, I built it for haters and to have fun in it BUT I started a new business at the beginning of the year. With any new business it has it's ups and downs so therefore IF someone has enough cash the Mean Bean is for sale so that I can eliminate a few bills and concentrate on my future with my business. Now that's out of the way!

I have taken it out a few times, rear locker never worked so everything I did was with open rear diff and it did better than I thought. I had a banging issue at 3500 rpm's, couldn't find it until this morning, figured out I had 1 wire wrong on TFI module. Yes it is black now and if I can figure out my photobucket I'll get some pics posted. I'm racing in the SRRS Finals this weekend so anyone that wants to see it, I'll be there Friday night through Sunday morning.
