Seat Safety Switch posted:Good episode. I guess I can forgive them for the gap while they built up a backlog to monetize. Yeah, they've got all kinds of niche motorsport coverage and stuff, that's pretty cool. Personally, I only really watch Roadkill and I'm fine with being a month behind, now that they've got the monthly schedule going again. But I can definitely see the appeal for enthusiasts.

The new Roadkill was pretty amazing, and if hour long episodes are the new normal, I'm gonna subscribe and help support more of that in the future. I'll wait and see how long it is till a new episode and what the quality is before I make that jump, but really what is it, 5 bucks? Worth it if all the episodes are on that level.

I dno, hes launching a Roadkill magazine now and as much as I dont blame him for it, that, coupled by DODGE sponsorship, and the thousand fans everywhere they go... well the average Joe shmo adventures with a beater just somehow lost their magic.

However, "wifes car parking lot engine swap" to "come see our donated hellcat at a drag strip" are two different entertainment values. Mind you the original Roadkill was him and Rick Pewe showing up at peoples houses, buying junk jeeps, fixing them in the sellers drive way and driving home as a hobby.

Speaking of which, I just tried to sign up with a Motor Trend on Demand 2 year subscription (or 1 year), and their signup page is broken. Some mangled CSS as far as I can tell, won't work on Safari or Firefox. Anyone happen to successfully do an annual subscription? I wonder if it's broken for everyone and Motor Trend is trying to figure out why literally no one has tried an annual subscription...

Nowhere near enough pledging to find the engineer that designed that part so you can burn his house down around him, otherwise accurate.

I think the guy takes perfection to the next level. I guess if you have the time and money and will power redoing things a million times only to scrap the whole concept and start over for poo poo as simple as a hood latch.... but I would never have that much patience. Which is why im not a fabricator nor body guy.

Binky is such an outrageously ambitious project, there's some truly next level engineering going on with that car it's no wonder it's taking forever. That and they still have to run a business... I reckon it'll be next summer before we see it completed.

Holy poo poo, I just watched all the episodes. I didn't really understand the complete depth of their madness until the door and front-end episodes. Why wouldn't you just make it run first and then dick around with this stuff later

For me it was when they welded in brand new wheel wells, then cut off 80% of the metal about 5 minutes later and made their own geometry.

The basically full chassis cars are kinda making Drag Week meh. Much preferred the original or at best half chassis beasts - more entertaining

Powershift posted:http://i.imgur.com/y5Enpui.gifv Ahh, a hometown hero. I also like the local guy who filled his ute up with fuel, asked for a pack of winnies and then pulled a snake from his pocket and threw it at the attendant while stammering: "SNAKE SAYS I DON'T PAY!" before running away as if he'd been intimidating enough to prevent the plates ever being called in. Idiots robbing servo's is a form of light entertainment here. The heat here burns some people's brains out.

the poi posted:Haltech Elite 1500 means 4 cylinder right? Not according to Haltech, can do up to 8 cylinder with some downgrading of injector controllability. Altho.... they also did post a dead VF30. I cant see them building another WRX and that's not an east /west engine. Doesnt sound like a 4 banger either.

In the Sept Q&A, they mentioned they liked that falcon they got on the hitchhiking ep, plus also very very interested in doing a falcon 4l turbo in a future project. They've already done an 8 with the mod max... Fo3 fucked around with this message at 13:47 on Sep 27, 2015 |
