When they fitted the front plate to the challenger they drilled the holes crooked so not only did they drill the bumper, they did it poorly. Kind of expected by the people who take 3 attempts to do an alignment on a 9 month old car.

There was a guy locally that was destroying people in one of those in Rallycross. Just driving the wheels off that thing. The best was that the shocks were so blown and it was pretty run down. The joke was that next year everybody was going to buy the new hot car to be competitive, an 80's Eagle. :v:

For $1500 that's an awesome deal.

Mmm, and I don't think you can (easily) do the rear output delete on the six speed.

I didn't know that, I just know the 5 speed would be silly behind anything making about ~300hp for me. Maybe it's not as bad in 2wd mode and holds together better? :shrug:

Factory five's 818 info says this on the site:

FactoryFive posted:

*You can use a 2004-2007 Subaru STI as a donor car for your 818 build including the engine, but not as a single donor car build. The following parts will need to be sourced from an Impreza/WRX:

Front spindles and hubs
Rear spindles and hubs
CV Axles
Transmission (Pre-2006 STI transmissions will not work with the 2 wheel drive adapter)

Sounds like some of them can be used at least? Or the 2007 only, maybe. I'm not a Subaru expert by any means.

Cars and coffee in Grand Rapids this morning with my potato phone. Pretty good mix of cars there.

On the walk over:












Probably my favorite car in the show. Only thing I'd change would be the wheels. No way I'd be putting stretched 215s on a car with this much power.















Was always curious about these. I'd love to build a coupe. This one had 500whp.

Factory 5 818. It's a kit car that uses a subaru WRX/STi running gear but removes the rear driveshaft and mounts it in the back for a MR roadster or coupe. Pretty neat kit.

E85 these days, which is more like methanol and less like pump gas or race gas in terms of charge cooling.

They also run surprisingly little boost. The highest is just shy of 10 psi during push to pass. Regular road course is 7.25 psi, short ovals is 5.8, and only 4.35 at superspeedways.

Wow, way lower than I expected. I should probably look those engines up cause now I'm wondering about what RPM and CR, how much power they make, etc.

So many wheels on new cars today are terrible.

The worst are the "directional" wheels, except they are all the same so on one side of the car they go one direction, and on the other side of the car they go the other. Really terrible. I know directional wheels aren't a recent invention, so how have we not learned that they are universally awful yet?

Example:



Looks ok-ish from this angle, at least the wheels flow the right way.



Agh what the gently caress they are backwards!

Another reason I'm glad I bought the Sport, and I didn't even know it then.

I dunno if that's better than that hillclimb car with a gas turbine engine driving a turbo constantly at max boost, but it's definitely born from the same streak of mad genius.

The best part of the M3 article is that 4th throttle used to shut off intake air to the turbo, making a prehistoric anti-lag system. Pretty smart they thought of that, honestly.

I don't have a pic but I saw an old dude with a cowboy hat driving an MKIV Supra yesterday. In Detroit, where it was snowing. :hellyeah:

It looked like a beater stock supra and I couldn't tell if it was a TT (have doubts), but it had the big spoiler on it.
