He is really good at dropping knowledge that's already been dropped, I think he's done it in a few other threads too. In before "Let he who has no sin cast the first stone" response.

I think it turned out pretty well considering the phone and I just happened to be at the gas station with a nasty summer storm rolling in. Edit: Since we're on a new page and we have a lack of pics so far, figured I'd throw in a couple I took much more recently at "Day at the Drags" down by Austin.

leica posted:IIRC the early four banger turbos weren't reliable but I could have that backwards. I got one for my dad and he sold it within a year to replace with a truck made in 1938 (I forgot what specific vehicle he bought other than the year) which he says is more reliable. I only paid around 10k for the Esprit I found because it had cosmetic issues that I could take care of, it's quite possible it was also treated poorly mechanically though. It seemed to run fine while I briefly had it but there could have been terrible things waiting to happen.

Okay so here the other cars from the uncle's funeral. Again, no idea what they are apart from old Fords and yes they were all restored by him.   He didnt just do showroom restos. Two rather classy hotrods also represented other work  The Mustang in the background? Yep, that too. Utterly original car I believe, didnt requre anything liek the work the older cars did. Now.... this one took centre stage.    His car - to be honest not the best on the day (The green 40 really is stunning in person) but still, more than a bit good. I think this might also be the last one he did and might have been hurried a bit as he would have already been suffering heart issues. That really doesn't sound right and still doesn't do it justice - drat thing is genuinely brilliant work in it's own right

Seat Safety Switch posted:
That rear subframe is a stock loyale/GL subframe (called a leone overseas.) An R160 is the same footprint no matter what car it came in, so a newer one is just a bolt in affair. It appears they used a female axle diff out of a newer EJ car and made hybrid axles by putting EJ cups on GL axles. The trailing arms look stock. An XT6 has 5x100 hubs, so you just have to source XT6 parts to 5lug swap a GL.

That Subaru is loving awesome for many reasons, but I personally love it because an '86 Loyale is the first car I ever broke the 100mph mark in, and it's cool to see one that's actually built to haul rear end.SierraEchoBravo posted:These are words I never would have though I'd see written for an '86 Subaru. The Loyale I learned to love speed in was taken off the road a year later because the body was literally rusting in half; you could see it sagging around the B-pillar if all the doors were opened.  Every '80s Subaru I've seen in my area has been destroyed by rust, far worse than any '80s Toyota or Honda I have seen.

You went 100 in an 86 GL? Jesus loving christ. That's scary/awesome. Was it being dropped out of an airplane??? hah. My 89 is lifted and whatnot. The fastest I've ever had it was about 90. And that was going sideways on a dirt road

Haha it took almost a half mile to get to 100 and felt like it was going to fall apart (which, in hindsight, it was). I was also 15 at the time, driving my friends car with just a learners because he was baked as gently caress and I hadn't discovered the wonders of pot yet, it was the middle of the night, and I was unfamiliar with the road. It was like the perfect storm of stupidity and bad decisions, but goddamn it was fun. I've gone faster in cars since, but I've never felt as scared as I did in that car. RIP Thrasher.

I did a similar thing in my first car. 100mph indicated in a 1974 Datsun 710. Olive green with tan plastic and vinyl interior. I was on my way to a camping spot.
