Japanese children's TV apparently involves a brief lesson on autocross and circuit driving. Somehow I don't think the driver is the same person as the excitable voiceover. Subliminal message: Buy a Honda

Safety tip: You should probably make sure your transmission is actually bolted in before doing a high speed highway pull on a big motor build. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Colt-tranny-drops-at_696672.htm

I'd probably still scream like a girl if I had a ride in that thing. I can barely put up with being a passenger in my own car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4mZCo8wpD8 I'm glad I went for the hood scoop, because the 265 horsepower firebreathing turbo flat four is a fashion statement  Their better ad was this "gently caress you, Lexus" bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2ANYp_jI_0 Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Sep 15, 2009 |

A little bit of Z porn for you all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LC_4J1MmRU That's the Office Tomitaku S30Z with the nearly-one-off OS Giken 24v hand-built head on it. Check out the dyno chart, followed shortly by the insane yell it makes as it approaches its huge redline.

Minis racing at last year's Goodwood Revival: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq743jZ6L0Y It's amazing how an entire field of Minis at full throttle in aggregate sounds like one or two touring cars at part throttle. Plus, they're literally driving three abreast down a straight. Also, the announcers are seriously getting into it. I wish we had better racing TV in North America. It's super exciting to see cars the size of a shopping cart running flat out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIGhswSerbA This little Scirocco is crazy! According to the post, it has AWD through a Quattro swap and a "Buick stage II race engine" (3800 SII, I'm assuming, based on what appears to be a blower sticking out of the hood). Aside from a little incident where it picks up a free spare tire, it seems to do a pretty good job at this little hillclimb/autocross thing. The same guy also has videos of a supercharged rotary-powered bugeye Sprite, the happiest looking death machine around. I'm not sure if the engine or the transmission is louder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bbcT8OaHms

I could swear this has been posted before, but I think every modification "package" from a tuner should come with a video of a dad riding along in the car as you weave through traffic and blast down blind corners. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa6_mO3NAO8 Of note is how quickly he shifts from profanity to fatherly advice.

I imagine "Ferrari World" features two exciting podiums: one is a walk-through attraction where you go through the garage of a guy named Tony who charges you between $3000 and $20,000 for parts like exhaust hangers and wing mirrors. The other is an event for the kids to learn how to completely rebuild a wiring harness. Once the kids finish, they are given a little ribbon by the Ferrari World attendant, and the harness bursts into flame. There's a bouncy castle at the end, but it costs $250 to ride and your kids just get punched in the crotch when they get off the ride. Also, the bouncy castle occasionally explodes, firing kids into the upper atmosphere, but it's their own fault for exceeding the manufacturer's warranty by bouncing on the bouncy castle. You may think the obsession with unexplained engine and electrical fires is strange, but Ferrari World at least doesn't feature the "Carbs of Death" ride from Lamborghini World down the block. Don't stand in line too long, kids! Anyway, on topic: in some European countries they have tiny dinky Fiat clones that don't make a lot of power and have not very many cylinders. The solution? Inexpensive superbike motors. BUSKUL!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft5Aj4CkI_Y edit: Actually the 12 cylinder boat ride is pretty awesome.

I'm starting to get addicted to car chase videos. Here's one from two incredibly bored cops trying to catch a tweaked Elan after it has a little too much fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHQmpaiz2sU It's worth it just to hear their conversation. They don't even turn on the lights or bother pointing the camera (that would be rude). I suspect the American car chase videos are mostly like this as well before Sheriff John Bunell dubs over it with information about the psychotically fast European-tuned independent suspension. Lotus Omega demonstrates why they're scary cars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5o4erh8hiY Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Aug 26, 2010 |

I think I remember hearing that Swedish (or Swiss?) police also aren't allowed to exceed the speed limit in order to catch speeders. I probably heard that from Getaway in Stockholm so take it with a grain of salt. e: Yeah, looks like I got it from this Getaway in Stockholm bit. edit: Here's part of some documentary Clarkson was in, where he buys a jet and tows it across his wife's garden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnGXerN0tlo Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Aug 26, 2010 |

Hey amateur rally star Chris Duplessis, do you have good enough car control to drive a car at just the right speed to keep snack crackers poised perfectly on your fingertips? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFl8PpyWWP8 Duplessis previously brought us this video where he bagged on a $50 Impreza on ice with dirt bike studs in the tires: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWSq0noxdLA I'm pretty sure I'm not that accurate driving straight, leave alone sliding on ice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxN3JnQ47b0 F-150 Ecoboost torture test, part 3. I wonder what the logistics of replacing tires when you're racing with a trailer attached are like. I wonder if anyone's actually done any research into how tires wear on trailers in a race environment prior to this. Liveblog of the same engine, now in Mike McCarthy's #899 Baja 1000 racer. Sounds like it's holding up better than the truck around it is. Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 21:13 on Nov 19, 2010 |
