General Car Discussion

So long as it has my patented plywood wheel spacers

 

Now this is a proper engine!

 

You sir are a wise man. And I respect that.

 

To be honest it would be so satisfying to get one in good condition with a working engine and post pictures of the whole thing in this thread, purely to watch the world burn

 

Anyone ever play Enthusia? I went back to it today and just started hotlapping. Started with the Austin Healey Sprite.

I had no idea a British sports car could be so horrible to drive, but at the same time, it could make a good teaching tool, as it will punish you for every single imperfection. It looks cute and harmless with its feeble engine and bug-eyed face, but it really likes to hurt people.

 

HA HA HA OOOOOOOH


Hondas aren't that fast out of the showroom but some people can make them horrendously fast.

Get a mustang with an i6 and swap in a 2jz. I think someone has done it before

 

This Mustang I worked on last year has the steering column from a BA/BF Falcon in it

 

Just went to the Vancouver Autoshow today. T'was fun. I will hopefully be able to post a bunch of pictures in the next few days.

 

No. No 2jz. Precisely for reason you mentioned. Done before

 

Then use a 7M-GTE. Not as refined as the JZ engine, but they can still make a fairly substantial amount of power.

 

JDM engines produce NO torque at all. This would make the really heavy car have no performance, at all.

 

The green fail

 

Eh you'd be surprised. 333ft-lbs is hardly nothing

 

How about a diesel powered Mustang?

 

Grab an engine from a Saxo and go full rice

 

My friend's '66 Charger develops 700-something lb-ft of torque.

 

But the alloys just don't fit.

 

G

Go with a bike engine at this point.

 

My Mustang makes 245lb-ft...

...I feel it's enough. It'll break the tires loose and drift. That's all I need.

 

What year?
