Hello Spaceman posted:Even when upscaling they still chose the most retarded, hard-to-find narrow section tyres they could find. Oh smart They look like regular tractor tyres to me. I wish I could catch a picture of a modified quad bike I've spotted a couple of times on a trailer. Pretty sure it belongs to one of the local rice farmers. It has these really tall thin wheels grafted on to it. It kind of reminds me of that. Same tread pattern even.

There is so much work that it's not worth anyone's time and very little of the original car will be left. If it can be saved at all. The fact it's going to go out as a race car is a drat good Viking Burial for it. RADL approves

While I was in South Carolina I was super excited that gas was $2.97 for regular, $3.30 for premium. Then when I got home and gas was $3.77 for regular and $4.00 for premium I was rather depressed.  Oh and I noticed that there were WAY more donks driving around down there than there are up here.

Hipster avatar you say? ... homophobic you say? There's plenty of donks in TX, especially when you go down to Houston. Denton didn't have that many of them, Dallas OTOH...

Nope, definitely an Olds Aurora engine (turbocharged, natch). Saw one at the Shelby museum like a month ago. The Olds engine is out and on a stand, and clearly labeled as such.

Wheelstands... Never could get mine to lift very far, perhaps the suspension was just right, or perhaps the trans just wouldn't hit the tires hard enough.   Car stuff was so much more simple when fast fox mustangs were a neat thing. Here are some Mustang wheelstand videos because quick smalltire drag mustangs are some of the most eventful things to go down a dragstrip. This makes me laugh.

It really would be fun to blast around the desert in one of those. gently caress it would be fun to hit mall parkinglot speedbumps at 2am. I wonder what the total build cost would be, probably well over $120,000, but less than $200,000. I think it mentioned in the video that the Brake system was $30,000 alone.

jonathan posted:but less than $200,000. Really? With 4 guys on it for 3 months with no overtime at $35/hr we're talking $67,000 in labor alone. I think we all know that time, head count and hourly rate are all unreasonably low. This does not count design time. This does not count materials. This does not count the motor. This does not count the cab. Or the shocks, or the calipers, or the rotors or the seemingly only 2 or 3 other parts that weren't custom made.

I think we all know that time, head count and hourly rate are all unreasonably low. Yeaaah foot in mouth, Their website has the Chevy pre-runner in one of those videos I posted. $650,000 used. In the summer I was thinking about building a desert runner out of a 2wd Ford Ranger or Chevy Colorado. I ended up scrapping the idea after realizing it would be more expensive and slower than an Arctic Cat Wildcat which I wouldn't even have to fab a single part for.

That's an impressive build. From watching the video I would have been surprised if one went for under 500k.

http://www.desertrides.com/reference/racing_classes.php This is now several years old, but I believe that the classes are still very similar. The cost listed on the site it probably low though. Desert racing owns, I don't think that it gets enough love in AI. Trophy trucks and the class 1 buggies are super expensive. If I am remembering correctly Terrible Herbst spent $50k on a transfer case for their first class 1 buggy. The Baja 1000 was also last week. Every once in a while you should be able to see the mint 400 or one of the other races on tv. It is pretty great to see those trucks around their top speeds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyLkin1KSn0&feature=youtu.be#t=18s This is short, but it's a friends ranger taking a small jump. I'm pretty sure it has a 302 now.

Any photographer saying that probably knows how to "crop" while they're taking the photo. And arguably that's the way one does it without "cheating."

 The chroma noise was bugging the hell out of me so I cut it down somewhat. Can't get rid of all the JPEG artifacts, but I did some minor selective sharpening and toned out a bit of that sickening green.

I appreciate a nicely done street subaru as much as a rally one. Put wheels/tires on that aren't stretched, and put good suspension in that car, it'll be a monster on the road.
