I went to the Shaughnessy Concours d'Elegance here in Vancouver on Sunday. There were many beautiful cars. I took some photos. Here they are.

The F40 in these pictures got wrecked on the drive home, which is really sad. At least it lives on in photos.

That's the throttle body butteryfly on an Audi RS4. We were doing the plugs on my buddy's car and I caught a glimpse of it when we pulled off the top of the airbox.

This picture makes it look pretty normal in size. Note that the inlet tube is 4+" in diameter. I was pretty amazed by the thing.

They do not, strangely enough. They're loving brilliant cars though. Power forever, incredible handling, etc. - and 4,400lbs. Heh. We've literally burned 3/4 of a 55l tank by doing 30 minutes of datalogging pulls in the thing - very, very thirsty. Converts gasoline to noise and speed extremely efficiently though.

On Friday and today, I drove a Porsche Cayman R, a Ferrari 458, a Ferrari 430 Scuderia, a McLaren MP4-12C and a Porsche 911 (997) Turbo S around a racetrack. Really hard. With an instructor beside me the whole time, pushing me to go faster. :getin:

I will post some pictures and videos later but for now, I have had two days of the AIest poo poo I can imagine. It was epic fun and those cars are everything I always wanted them to be (especially the Scuderia - it is the Ferrariest Ferrari. Undoubtedly). Except the 911 which was spooky fast but... soft.

Horrible to share without media but I thought if anyone would appreciate the way I feel right now it would be you guys.

Also, I did this with my father. Best family vacation ever. :unsmith:

Not enough headroom. There's remarkably little of it in the 458. The instructor couldn't wear his in it either, IIRC.

Were you as impressed by the 458 as I was? It felt like perfect. Comfortable, easy to drive, good looking interior. Nothing that felt weird about it. I'd never driven anything fancier than a 1st gen RX7, but I felt right at home in it.

Yup. I'd daily drive a 458. Amazing, amazing car in every way. Great sound, great brakes, great ride, super handling.

I loved the F430 Scuderia the most from a pure "oh my god, this is what I always hoped a Ferrari would be" perspective, and I had Ferraris on my wall as a kid rather than Lambos.

I loved the MP4-12C the most from a "learning to do things right" perspective, because it talks to you all the time - and smacks you if you do things wrong. But if you react well, it will come right back into line. And it is monstrously quick.

I loved the Cayman R the most from a pure driving joy perspective. So fun, so tossable, so responsive. I wish the transmission didn't automatically gear down when you stomp on it, but that's a tiny niggle against a car that I will probably end up buying. Or an Elise. OH NO CANNOT DECIDE

This is a stupid kit on a miata but I still want one.

http://www.simpsondesign.net/index.html

Jim Simpson is an awesome AI dude. He has an amazing collection of Alfas, a couple of other beauties (concours winning Fiat? Two of the Nardi Blue Rays?) too.

My father (who is kind of AI awesome himself :3:

) has a Miata with that body kit, a Ford V8 / 5-speed and Dayton knock-offs (I mean "use a hammer to take them off" not "they're fakes"). It's an absolute hoot to drive.

At the dyno facility. I road-tuned it (it's a bored / stroked Mustang engine with a Quarterhorse ECU piggyback board) the day before.

Strapped in. Note the plate (heh) and watercut aluminum logo (my sister designed it!). MTM = Mel's Torque Monster. Yes, it actually displaces 5.8L after the bore / stroke.

I'ma let this speak for itself. I suspect that there's something wrong with this dyno, but it pulled strong and consistently so 6 times. I was mostly concerned about the AFR which we tweaked a bit in between pulls.

A bad picture of my father and the car. He daily drives it until it starts to snow.

So yeah. That body kit and Jim Simpson are both pretty awesome and AI in my humble.

You can buy kits which are a spline-drive for the wire wheel bolting onto the regular hub, so I'd guess it's one of those types of things.

This is exactly it.

The wire knock-offs and the Ferrari mirrors really make the look of the car work, I think (the Cobra rear-view mirror is pretty cool too). And it is silly, silly fun to drive.

Jesus those HDR miata kit pics make me ill. On a sidenote, Vancouver Mountains.

Does that 5.8 motor have any work done to the top end ? Those numbers are pretty low. My 302 made 318 horsepower through a c4 trans with a stock a9L ecu.

Jim's in WA, on Whidbey Island. So those probably aren't in Vancouver. FWIW. I hate HDR too though.

The MTM definitely has top-end work done (cams, port/polish, etc.) - but like I said, there's something off with that dyno so I don't trust the raw numbers. I suspect it's around 375tq / 300hp based on my butt-dyno. It seriously motivates the Miata, at any rate, so whatever it makes is more than enough. Per my previous, I wanted the AFR sniffer more than the power output. Road tunes can be dangerous. :getin:

Picked up this as a project. Been working on it for over a year now. Too much poo poo to list it, there is a dedicated thread somewhere. It's a Canadian M35a2 duece & a half mixed with a Hino FB Turbo. Those tires are 395/85r20's. They're double beadlocked. Final drive ratio for those Rockwell toploaders is 6.73:1. Engine is a Hino 3.8L Turbo Diesel. Makes somewhere around 150 horsepower at the wheels.

Holy mother of... that's maybe the most terrifying 'ring lap I've ever seen. I just watched it twice back-to-back. You can almost hear the "don't lift don't lift don't lift" except that you know that dude doesn't need to remember that.

That's an air filter, right? What would that even go in, some kind of industrial equipment?

I... it moved. That's amazing. Is it an Elise that's had the roof cut off?

Yes. And more. Everything is gutted right down to the doors (note that painter's tape is holding the doors shut..)

This is the infamous Elise of "Perry" from the Lotus Talk forums. I think he's since sold it but his intention was to make a 2-Eleven kind of car.

I'm not sure if the dimple-cut rear brace behind the engine is factory but I know the remote-reservoir dampers tied to the cage sure aren't.

Buddy called me today and asked if I wanted to go for a drive. I said "sure".

(click for huge)

The one in front was the surprise - I rode out in it. The 993 C4S in behind is my buddy's car and he insisted that I drive it on the way back.

That car has forced me to reevaluate my priorities. What a car. What a car.

So loving hot. I will crosspost this to the BMW thread.
