Back when I first started driving, everyone wanted a Golf Rallye.

The windows on that red A4 look photoshopped to me.

The Corrado doing a burnout has been converted to rear wheel drive, not syncro. Here is a link to the original article. click

Wait, what?

I will be soooo happy when the fake-rusty-hood look goes back out of fashion.

 

[Keef]

I don't know man, I'm thinking that car is natural. Yes, the rusted hood look is horrible, but doing it half-ass, a la crappy 80s Cavalier, is even worse.

sadly, when it goes out of fashion, it will just arrive here.. just like the rest of tuning fads..

IMO a few fleckings of rust on the bonnet is not exactly the "fake rusty hood look". Nor is the car noticeably decrepit in any other way so it's probably just aging.

And now for something completely different.

"Hump" <s******s>

I got censored - dumb thing thinks I'm being racist!

How do cars such as this actually get around? How in the world do those guards not hug the tires every time the suspension compresses?

 

[Leonidae]

Suspension? what suspension? They have solid iron bars there.. 👎

The dampening and spring rates are so stiff the tires effectively don't move.

 

[Leonidae]

isn't that what I just said?

Midnight Mechanics Kesev

Oh jeez. Bluebird Coupes are just......

 

[Azuremen]

isn't that what I just said?

No.

[-Fred-]

What's that, a 2JZ?

Oh and, Spirant 180SX.

 

[Jay]

No, it's a 1FZ-FE (4.5L), they're coming more and more popular with high powered tuning, I know there is a old crown with a 1FZ and big single in it getting around, he is having troubles with head gaskets though apparently.

 

[-Fred-]

I see. Thought it was a 2JZ with a different cam cover, seeing how he's got what looks like a Veilside intake manifold.

 

[Revheadnz]

Iron block, timing chain, apparently built like a brick outhouse. Also supposedly is similar in design to a stroked out 2JZ. I don't have any details on the Supra but the Crown Jay mentioned is currently going through a fully forged build for methanol and going for 1200+hp. He nuked his last motor (rod exit stage left) with 26psi from a GT42 and NOS. The owner worked out it was making something like 920 flywheel horses at the end going by trap speed and weight. That was on a completely internally stock Landcruiser motor.

 

[Time_Attack]

I think I'm going to go look at an AE86 today. Someone should post some pics to get me nice and motivated... 👍:

 

[Leonidae]

Why not AW11.. it's better, probably not so raped and riced with initial d-stuff, mid-engined etc etc..

 

[Time_Attack]

I already have one.

 

[Leonidae]

Porsche 944 then be different. and no solid rear axles.

 

[Time_Attack]

I don't want a porsche. It probably cost $500 to change the spark plugs and you wait 3 months to get them from germany. Plus if I did buy one it would be a 911 anyway.

The corolla is a reasonably priced replacement for my burnt sw20 with a back seat and a trunk while still being rwd.

I didn't get to check it out today though. Maybe friday or saturday.

 

[Leonidae]

For the price of hachi you could get Celica Supra.. or FB RX-7

 

[Azuremen]

Hard to find parts for both, and the latter is tiny.

944 racing is growing like crazy, finding support for parts and knowledge resources is getting easier and easier. It's growing to SM levels of popularity.

Don't rule it out. It's an attractive option.
