The front doesn't look like a Pride??

[av8ter]

Fiat Pandas? Not Festivas though.

[quaddawg]

They are either Suzukis, or Maruti (which ARE Suzukis)


Maruti 800

[packrat427]

That is great !!

Looks like other manufacturers really liked the Festiva design also .

[quaddawg]

LOL, the Suzuki/Maruti existed before the Mazda 121/Kia Pride/Festiva

I believe it was designed in 1984

[Sp33dY]

LOL ... agreed .... Festivas weren't exactly the trend setters of 'small and boxy hatch' shaped vehicles ... similar shapes exist even in the late late 70s, and very early 80s!


Nice spotting quaddawg

agreed, not festivas. My dad did that trick at a carnival when he was a kid. The guy running that show just showed him how and dad diud it. I found out when we were watching an Elvis movie. I said "man I'd love to try that!" He said "I did that." Oh the days before lawsuits.

[quaddawg]

They are definitely Maruti 800's..... very popular in India, where the video is filmed.

I wouldn't mind having one of those maruti/suzuki's, very cool cars, they have alot of character for such a small car.

Thats insane. It looks like that structure is made of wood. It would be cool to go like 100 mph in there. I wonder what the g's would be like at that speed?

Great video...hope they were smart enought o modify the oil pick up.

[FB71]

why would they need to? If there's enough G force to hold the vehicle to wall, there should be enough force to cause the oil to flow to bottom of the pan...

[jglutz]

If engine mounts and has an oil pick up like a festiva..which most cars do..the oil is going to collect at the rear, main, opposite the pick up..any obsrtuction in the flow of the oil draining back to the pan will allow gravity to work.
