Do you guys not do the mid-week test-n-tune nights? Seems like that sort of thing would be about perfect.

Work hours and commute time plus distance to the track make it kinda hard for me to make weekday track stuff. I can do some backroad fun, but by the time I am off the trailer and into tech and make a pass I am already supposed to be in bed. Crummy.

So I've been driving the car around lately just taking my time and sorting out bugs. Currently have burned 5 tanks of E85 with a estimated elapsed travel distance of around <250 miles. One dead cam position sensor has been the only issue so far. The internet has taken up arms against me though. The car made it onto 1320video and it has about 3k comments of pure hate. It is hilarious. I've never been so hated in my life. It is like 2005 era MMO trolling except the entire vaping teenager car community are my outraged victims. I am not much for the attention it brings driving it around though. Kinda weird. So far my favorite replies are the continued reminders that a strut front end partial tube chassis S2000 powered by a F series(built to the moon) and a air shifted unstreetable trans ran a 6.8 and I worthless. It is like I've shown up at the palace and by the size of my sword they think I am threatening the king. I've never seen a supra deal with this, or the unicorn vette, or any other crazy street car build. So funny. https://www.facebook.com/1320Videos/photos/a.10151851272862112.1073741874.75402982111/10155683673932112/?type=3&theater

Lol. Facebook bench racing is the worst of the worst. It's an awesome car, and the fact that random strangers are getting mad about it makes it even better.

I can't get over how incredible this car looks. Let the internet hate flow through you, like the hundreds of gallons of air through your turbos, and let it make you strong, like your ridiculously huge engine. The haters all have automatic econoboxes and know not to what they bear witness. This car is legend. This car is true AI. This car is the expression of the longings of anyone who loves all cars. Always post more about this car.

Well he did say he's been through 5 tanks of gas driving it around.  I'm gonna guess the ac and power steering may not work so well, though.

Seat Safety Switch posted:This thing rules. Even if the legalities were taken care of, would this beast be in any way physically driveable on the street? Contrary to the popular belief it drives great on the street! Gas mileage is absolutely abysmal and the fuel it runs on is not at many stations. That is why I safely carry a 5 gallon dump tank in the passenger seat. Legalities be damned! It also does have power steering but I havent yet figured out how to output the correct pulse width signal for its speed and rpm inputs. So that is unplugged. The fluid boiling thing is hilarious. It is as if they can see my engine bay layout perfectly from one perspective. It is close but not that close. I also love the comments about how I am forced to run without a hood. No I run without a hood frankly because I cant afford a 3000 custom cowl job without others going in with me so I wait for the other LSX S2000s to be finished I guess. The car runs way cold because of the cooling system. Anyway the photo they used only shows the front of the car so the entire planet is convinced I have a stock rear and 235s. They also think I plan on doing autocross with it. Someone explain to me again why every photo they post of a swapped 240sx doesnt get this hate? It could be a drift car for all these worthless assholes know! Honda loyalist are as bad as corvette loyalist.

You can't explain it. People are weird and often so binary in their thinking that they can't understand that their flavor of preference may be different than another person's flavor of preference. Fast cars are cool. Your car is bonkers cool. This demonstrates again why AI is one of the few bastions of (ironically) sanity for car stuff on the intertubes.

I was partial to the person comparing your car (featuring an interior, drivability, gearbox that isn't just degrees of clutch slip) to an s2000 profiled funny car and saying you'd wasted your time because the funny car ran 6s. Do you get the shits with people re-hosting your vids and eating your ad revenue? When I googled it to show someone the video that came up was not from your channel. The car's awesome in so many ways. I do hope you autocross it and inadvertently introduce your countrymen to the magic that is motorkhana.

If you autocross the entire track would be just one longass burnout line anyways (Liquid hate is 110 octane: get you some)

I don't try to monetize anything car related. Hobbies making me money (even the tiniest amount) always comes back to bite me for some reason. It is also the same reason I run a fab shop, but don't touch cars for money. Just too many bad shakes trying to make hobbies into careers in my very early 20s.

This car is totally awesome. The hate and rage is awesome. Is there a plan for a wrap or paint to incite maximum anger? I'm picturing NAMBLA logos in the NASCAR style. Edit: y'all need to check your sarcasm detectors. Ultimate Mango fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Aug 13, 2017 |

I went to H(onda)DAY today and it was glorious. Everyone one of the Sport Front Wheel Drive teams eventually made their way over to where they parked me at the stage to pay tribute. It was very funny. I got a few offers of sponsorship, and oddly enough a offer for a free wrap. While molestation is not what I'd target with my wrap, I would consider a ricky bobby style "ME" wrap with a vicious house cat instead of a mountain lion.

tehk posted:Not with the closure of Omega Fuels. No where local to fill up on E85 while I am driving anymore Can you dial back the wastegates to run on petrol if you're up the creek, or would an out-of-order bowser require a tow truck? I know a guy who runs around on petrol most of the time and has small E85 fuel cell and lines that the ECU will cut over to when it registers boost. Useless baggage if you're planning on racing it extensively and road driving is an 'every now and then' thing.
