Data Graham posted:If they can figure out a way to have it engage/disengage with a button it would be an incredible feat of pointlessness realistically it could be done with an electrical clutch but as every video i've seen where they pull the belt off the supercharger and then run it down the road, it fowls plugs and runs hot as hell

Wouldn't a non-running supercharger just choke the hell out of the engine, unless you also open up a bypass intake?

Yeah, but curbing the poo poo out of wheels is not awesome.

I dont think honda ever made a car that wasnt meant to be driven. People have racked up really big mileages on the original NSX.

Colostomy Bag posted:The everyman's supercar back in the day. Absolutely. One of my favorite Pininfarina studio designs, second only to the 456, and ahead of the 550 (both cars that makes my heart flutter, IRL). The entire design is cohesive; it's unmistakable from any angle and each complements the other. Every little detail is there for a reason, without standing out or distracting from the whole. The redesign works within the contraints of the original, adds a few things, and takes little away (headlights). The R version manages to look racecar without looking "boy-racer". The actual racecars are easily recognizable as an NSX, despite fairly major changes in the Phase 2 JGTC cars. I always take a good, hard look at them on the road. I smile and wave at the driver. They wave and are already smiling. Sometimes I see one in a parking lot, the driver standing outside smoking, just looking at the thing.

Double post, stolen from Reddit: "Completed" my Streamlined RX-7 Build     quote:That took far more time than any of the rest of the build. There's a bracket that attaches to the steering knuckle, and that swings the cover out, which is hinged on the leading edge. It is retracted back into place by a spring loaded reel... Here it is in action

Personally I think not knowing where your wheels/corners of your car are is terrible car poo poo. lern2drive. If the old lady who owned my Miat for 18 years managed to not put a single scuff on the car then wtf are you doing?

He's in the USA. We've already had the premier "Hilux can't die" experience with two events: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_War https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnWKz7Cthkk That same guy tried to buy our 88 Hilux (double cab version of the one Top Gear had) and we told him to pound sand. Fan video that ain't, that is a wasting food for clicks tiktok crap but instead nice trucks that can't be enjoyed anymore. Also we can import from 1999 now we 'get' all the good Hiluxes. The government hates us plenty but that time is over, import one! I know I have.

Honestly, the only real difference with a "normal" FC RX-7 is the wheel skirts. The other aero is more or less off the shelf stuff, including the hood. I am curious how much difference the skirts make - the FC is fairly slippery form the start.

I saw this guy posting a couple years ago on FB/Twitter, with a (very) few OEM vintage wheels converted to 3-piece so they could be larger and wider. Looks like he's taken off. https://www.love20bee.com/       He also does refurbishing and one-piece conversions, too, on OEM and vintage JDM aftermarket wheels:  Wonder how much it would cost to have some OEM first-gen RX-7 wheels converted to 15"...
