I wanna see a 13B in a R32.

Ask, and you shall receive!

Hmm, but don't you run into oil supply issues on the track due to the transverse engine being mounted longitudinal? At least that's what my F20C AE86 bud was telling me.

If you use the stock oilpan you will run into issues, yes. People either modify the stock one with baffles or use an aftermarket pan and the problem is pretty much solved. I've even seen people use a dry-sump kit, but that's a totally different ballgame on the budget side.

Ah New Zealand. The land of, 'what motor shall I put into this car that's not an LS'. Although the LS is still a popular swap here.

Rotary FTW

This is a more of a question but...
Yesterday I spotted this Subaru Legacy with Twin Exhausts, Bonnet Scoop and bilstein logo at the back. Any idea?

Or was it just a stock one with bodykit on it?

Fourth generation GT spec.B Legacy with an aftermarket body kit, and some third generation GT-B wheels with uh... red centre caps, of all things. The spec.B was the replacement for the GT-B trim for the Legacy, which was the range topper of the model. Basically, the 'b' in 'spec.B' stands for the Bilstein suspension they were fitted with, hence the badge.

Bonnet scoop is a factory thing on the Legacy (and other turbocharged Subarus) for the top mounted intercooler. The twin pipes aren't factory in themselves, but they did come with dual exit exhausts in a smaller diameter.

Oh thanks

Midori? Midori!

But what about Martini? I like Martini...

 

[Paulie]

DUH! I was trying to figure out what you guys meant by R3X when referring to skylines on the last page, then I realised the X was supposed to denote a number. Guess I would have gotten it straight away if the X was a lower case x.

Since @SVX and @TexRex posted some subie, I might as well stick this Forester over here:

This one is something i never expected to show up over there but...

Anyone willing to give me $3000 or so?

I quite like this.

BEAMS powered.

That first image has a GT-FOUR bonnet from the AWD version, not quite factory but the sticker on the rear wing is an SS-III.

I did notice the GT-Four hood, but it was the first result that came up for a Celica SS-III and it looks good so I saved it. I figure it fits well enough, even if its not required.

Midori? Midori!

That's funny you should bring up this specific color. A guy on the RSX forum I'm on recently popped back in after a while of being gone, and it got me on a bit of a Midori kick the other day..

Anyway, Joey at The Chronicles got his hands on a ton of photos covering shows before and during the first Fast & Furious movie era, and is slowly releasing them in an Archives series.

Here's a CRX with Integra taillight conversion!

If you're interested in a blast from the past, where Supra taillight conversions, wild body kits, and I.C.E. reigned supreme, enjoy:

Yes, please!

EDIT: I found Pentroof's site again. More pictures!

That's some F&F style over there. I wonder where did all of those cars ended up tho?

Neat, an Eunos Roadster JGTC car.

Too many JDM cars on this page, where's the European cars?

Hmm....Porsche

Porsche 356

Mercedes Benz 300 SL

Forza Troll Mobile

 

[JrDarknes]

Reminded me of the fast and furious

 

[CyborgGT]

JDM with Euro molded in. Not sure how I feel about it...

It's a tad too low. Raise it a little bit and it's a pretty decent looking Soarer.

 

[JrDarknes]

Went to the last Final Bout this Saturday and Sunday. Surely will miss it.

Few cars from the event

I despise drifting for the simple fact of it moving so many people to destroy S-chassis.

It's a tad too low. Raise it a little bit and it's a pretty decent looking Soarer.

As something to just cruise in, I think the stance looks excellent. Otherwise, I agree. Half the time I look at a car, I don't consider the ride height/camber as part of my overall opinion on it simply because it's too often that I don't like the stance. If it were mine, I'd raise it up, too. Otherwise, it was build in pretty good taste, I think.

That Panamera bumper grafted onto the front end, though... in a way, it almost looks like it belongs. At least from the angle given, the headlight's shape mirrors the bumper light's almost perfectly.

 

[Tunerguy21]

God, I love the T51R SPL!

 

[JrDarknes]

Sorry Guys. S-Chassis Spam

Was in Southern California this week and attended the annual S-Chassis Meet. Just a small amount of pictures from the huge album I have from it lol

Oh and a Mr2 came to visit

 

[Michelin Man]

Looked like there were some cracking S-bodies indeed, but that Red two-tone Silvia/S13 is stunning, nigh-on perfect in my books .

It's been my favourite gen of S-body in practically forever has the S13, and the two-tone look suited it so well personally, would be a dream car to own, would an immaculate two-tone S13 like that...
