Jesus both my Celica and Mini understeer like it's going out of fashion, combining them would be ridiculous. There's a group in the USA called Super Fast who do this with Honda Integra engines and CRV drivetrains too btw. http://www.superfastminis.com/

Yeahhhhhhhhhh I'll just stick with the RF too. At least it looks kinda cool in a 'small child with Lego' kinda way.

Speaking of awesome AI poo poo, some of you know that my brother murdered my grandfather's poor 1955 Cessna 170. Well insurance totalled it out so my grandfather is throwing money around to the grand kids. He has offered to help with my car fund. What would the best use of this money be? Of course that would be giving my 58 to someone professional to do a body off resto

The correct answer for any ACVW fan is one restored to factory condition, and a second that belches fire and lays down rubber for miles. From whatever year gives you a stiffy.

Mine has entirely too much rot that has to be repaired and was crashed in the early 60s, so it's going to be the 2nd option. My first car was a 67 that was bone stock and meh, been there done that.

You Am I posted:The metal fabrication work in that car is amazing. Especially when they managed to get the motor mounted in it without extending the engine bay. The engineering skills of those dudes is mind blowing Once I watched a few more all episodes I figured out why he went sheet metal fab instead of tube frame. Looks more factory, the guy is a sheet metal magician and it might be cheaper from a material standpoint. Episode 2? where they show how to make the reverse suspension mount jig thingy was cool to see. I always figured you could do something similar but had never seen it done. Kind of want to grab a E30 shell (we have several laying around) and make a jig then build a tube frame based on that. Here's a tube frame drift truck because pictures are good...

The only thing I can hate about that picture is the stance works watermark. That "truck" is mental and I love it. Granted I do want to buy a ranger/s10 with a v8 and airbags, so that might tarnish my point of view.

Sort of like the front fender scoops on the Plymouth Superbird/Dodge charger Daytona?  (Ostensibly, they covered holes cut in the tops of the fenders to allow the tires to poke through when the suspension squatted under the massive cornering/downforce loads on the race version. Or maybe they were just to look cool or vent the brakes, nobody knows for sure.) I like the truck, though. If you're going to do a stupid thing, might as well take it all the way to self-parody.

I was under the impression it was due to pockets of high pressure air forming in the wheel wells and causing lift at higher speeds.

I had a thought the other day: full sports-car build V8 S10 with a Corvette rear subframe wedged in... but with an additional mounting point to install auxiliary coil springs for towing what the frame is rated for without screwing up the ride height. Maybe I'm overthinging it, but I've seen many airbags fail to the point I have kind of an aversion to them on anything that's not show-only.

The 8th will be up soonish once it's finished airing on some paid internet thing. Everything he builds is loving awesome. Cougar with a 780hp boss 520, with $20,000 cylinder heads.   Miata with an adorable body kit and 400hp ford 302.  RCR SL-C that had a 505hp LS7 in it, but that wasn't enough so he slapped some turbos on er.  https://www.staceydavid.com/projects Powershift fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Jun 19, 2014 |
