A good friend of mine is finally approaching the finish line of a project that he has been working on for years: A 1980 Volkswagen Rabbit pickup  That he has fitted a built compound turbo TDi motor into  Robbed the Haldex system from an Audi TT to make it AWD  With custom made 8 inch RS E52 wheels Short term next steps will be a cage that integrates the rear subframe/rear tubular arms and box flares reminiscent of old VW Golf Rally cars (and all other good 80's German cars)

Man does the front close up of the body work look like poo poo. I don't see how that engine and all the required coolers are even going to fit in the car. Plus imagine driving and it goes from making 1000hp to 5000hp over the course of 1500 rpm. I mean, watch the videos of the P1 on street tires and that thing has major traction problems.

Probably faster than having your son fetch you wrenches too. "This one dad?" "No, the 9/16?" "What's 9/16? This one?" "No.. bigger than that." "This one?" *dad curses and gets up to fetch the wrench himself*

Some work stuff I've been meaning to post: 1964 Chevrolet Bel-Air  An all-stock survivor, complete with the factory 230 straight-six and 3-speed manual column shift. We're going to rebuild the front suspension and convert from manual to power-assist steering. 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu  Resto-mod with a supercharged LSX. Very clean and subtle, and it ran like a beast.  Finally, something kastein should enjoy:  From what I was told, it's a late 1940's Willy's chassis with a late 1970's body shell. It's also has a carbureted LS3 under the hood with a 4L80 overdrive transmission, and it's only 2-wheel drive. I didn't get the chance to drive this one, that's probably a good thing.

Oh I think it's great, don't get me wrong. But look at those rear tires and let yourself recognize the truth. It's a street truck.

If I had that level of cash though I'd want something that looked like it was out of some ridiculous cartoon like GPX Cyber Formula...   ...I'd want it with the active aero so it could change from the top to bottom images too because why the gently caress not?

This really is the best looking engine:  Untitled by Jonathan Gitlin, on FlickrTook the FF to Cars and Coffee last week, this was also in attendance. The only factory supercharged Mosler apparently:  Untitled by Jonathan Gitlin, on FlickrThe only other car I took my phone out for was this C7.R edition:  Untitled by Jonathan Gitlin, on FlickrIn my defense it was very cold, but that did mean I didn't get a shot of the F40 parked next to the Mosler. Edit: yes I did, but for some reason it wasn't uploaded to Flickr  2015-12-05 08.21.18.jpg by Jonathan Gitlin, on FlickrOn the FF's Costco trip, we found this in the parking lot:  Untitled by Jonathan Gitlin, on Flickr

Root Bear posted:Finally, something kastein should enjoy: I actually enjoy almost all the cars you post, I love seeing restored/survivor cars, just not really enough to spend money on my own. That jeep though... what the gently caress. I could care less about the Willys + 70s shell + 2wd, that's fine in a street jeep (hell, the Archer Bros raced a pair of 2wd MJs in SCCA and cleaned house with them) but what the gently caress?????? Root Bear posted:carbureted LS3 That's the turd in the punch bowl right there. e: here's some pictures since I realized I was breaking the thread rules My buddy Sam's J10 that I've posted before. He just upgraded a bunch of stuff on it... built a cage for it, a ton of armor, new beadlocks, Rhino grille, etc. Full fleet (they all drive! Factory 401 Eagle edition on the left)  Just after finishing it:  Snow donuts:  It's still got the 60 front, 60/14 rear (can't remember which), doubler, twinsticked transfer case, NV4500 trans, LQ9 6.0L Vortec, 40" tires, etc. Probably one of my favorite J truck builds ever, Mikel's 6x6 M715 build being the other contender. kastein fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Dec 11, 2015 |

kastein posted:That's the turd in the punch bowl right there. Yeah, I don't get it either. None of the reasons hold up. If you do it because you hate computers, you either need a computer to run the ignition or a very spendy Ford distributor adapter. If you think you're saving money, well, neither of those options are cheap, and the carb manifold for any LSx engine is also fairly spendy. If you want it to drop in with a minimum of change to the vehicle, not going to a different engine family is certainly less of a change than a LS swap. If you really just want to have the throttle body on top of your manifold instead of in front of it, you have better choices too.  I realize they don't offer that much in terms of performance, especially in terms of how much they cost, but drat do I want some.

They were cheap for awhile, and bought by rednecks who now want a mint. Also almost every body piece is $infinity to purchase, so a lot of them now look like rear end.

Im confused about what is happening with the throttle body on that K20, it looks like a weird little box that maybe goes straight down instead of towards the driver side?
