Darn it! Song hasn't been released yet.

 

[Keef]

Haha, we both went searching for the same thing. Soy is REAL makes some cool tunes though, might have to check it out more.

 

[boiltheocean]

I haz good news then. According to his facebook page it can be downloaded free from his website when it's released, March 23rd.

I saw that video, it's pretty sweet and I can't wait to get a chick like that to ride in mine with me.

There's some cinematographers out there that out to be shooting movies, not car meet videos. There's some serious talent out there.

Trippy DOF here and there may look cool, but I thought it coud be implemented better. Like at the start when the focus went from the car wheel to "Simply Clean", it went the wrong way at first, and other niggles like that.

With that said though, the Hella Flush video posed about 2 months ago was a seriously wel shot/edited video.

And I, too, went searching for that song.

Change the wheels and this would be one of the prettiestestestesst S15's I've seen.

Hey look, it's that Golf again. This time at Winterjam at Daytona Beach, FL.

No.

 

[Time_Attack]

I'm digging the wheels on the S15. I'd rock those on my MR2.

 

[boiltheocean]

DO WANT.

If sparks don't fly you're riding too high.

I may be seeing things, but it looks like a 180sx with an S15 front end.

lol

This was actually that guy's first try at a car meet video. As for the first DOF thing, I assume it did that normally? Cameras seem to autofocus on moving things, and then when everything stops moving it's like woah wtf. Like that shot happened on accident.

No.

No what? The fact that she's not bitching about car talk makes her a keeper in my book. I dig it.

 

[~Sp33~]

I'd say the camera was manually focused.

Thats a 240SX (hatch, liftback) with a S15 front.

 

[TsukubaTrueno]

I suck.

Those aren't hydros, they're bags.

I'm pretty sure it uses hydraulics. Let me get the pics.

EDIT: Here it is.

 

[Keef]

Clear corner lights, red tint, and hydros? Ten dollars says the owner is Mexican.

I'll raise you 20 that says hes just some rich spoiled punk.

 

[Keef]

Alright, being that it's in Europe I'll give you that. I'm not holding my breath.

 

[-Fred-]

It looks stupid anyway, no matter where the guy is from. I hate the sunken battleship look just as much as the overdone stretch&offset.

 

[Joey D]

And this is why I shouldn't listen to some guy claiming it's his. Time to call out a buster.

And this Miata is win, especially with the Corvette motor in it. It'll probably ruffle some feathers but I think people can/should get over it.

 

[Jim Prower]

That a Flyin' Miata conversion? They make those turnkey now.

Doesn't ruffle my feathers. I think the V8 conversions are pretty cool. Not my own thing personally but I think it's pretty awesome that there are people around doing this. I have respect for the people putting the rotary in there too. There's even a guy on youtube who's made an EV out of his Miata. It seems like quite a versatile platform.

 

[Joey D]

Eh you know the purist and how they get, especially here. I'd love a V8 Miata, the Flyin' Miata place Jim mentioned will sell you an LS3 powered Miata, turn-key ready for about $30,000 it seems. You are probably getting better performance than a Vette for a lot less.

The owner is Dutch and lives a couple streets next to me. I really digg his car actually. Those cars are pretty rare in the Netherlands.. BUT, his engine (I think) had a rough life, becaus it sounds pretty bad..

That is pretty sweet. Granted, I'd probably need to modify the motor...

I think you could pretty much compare a V8 Miata to a Shelby/AC Cobra.

 

[homeforsummer]

Yeah, I see where you're coming from... honking great engine in tiny, lightweight car.

Much as I like Miatas though it's still not as good to look at as a proper Cobra...

The lead sled look only works on classic American iron, not an 80s BMW.

Two turbochargers? Ya I'll take that.

 

[Sharky.]

Did someone say V8 Miatas?

Supercharged Lexus V8 under the bonnet 429hp, 424ft/lb and 1220kg according to the company that "makes" them
