I distinctly remember a Japanese tuning shop also having a GBA SP which acted as a display for a gauge too. https://twitter.com/x_ecutive/status/1737371828933337271?t=Xfx57z38iGFngRqMNNqFvw&s=19

https://engineswapdepot.com/?p=105919 This is a Volvo 242 with an S65 V8 and 7 speed DCT swapped into it from an E92 M3.     I also own a 1985 240 that's been on the list for a restoration for years, not sure I want to have exactly the same engine in two cars, but this has to absolutely rip

Then again, he's somewhere where it snows. Also, he built a radial lawnmower. Like almost entirely scratch-built the engine.

I wasn’t going to post my mechanics new video but holy gently caress the amount and quality of his metal fabrication: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9r5e-ydEW8 The only thing more impressive than his attention to detail is his ability to bend metal.

If he would just overlay "i make a new one" and remake the whole car body, it would be perfectly normal. Also i would laugh like a madman if he manages to finish the car before the last binky video is out.

In cool things I discovered today at work, our Diablo mechanic and I discovered one of our SE30's has an exhaust silencer as part of it's aftermarket exhaust system (gotta love cars from Japan). This was news to me and I'd never heard it with the exhaust "open"....my mind is blown. The video doesn't even remotely do the exhaust justice, it sounds absolutely righteous in person. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COmC9XMfS4Q
