Imports

[Glubags]

the only dead milkmen reference in the imports thread, I'm sure of it

 

[CodeRedR51]

Don't bitch, just post it!

Posting anything with the same thread title will cause more bitching.

I vote name change or keep it on topic.

 

[speed junkie]

^ Exactly.

 

[Keef]

Calm down children.

Name it "Working Title" or something stupid. Nobody can argue against a nonsense title because it doesn't suggest anything one way or the other. All you have to do is ask Fred (Imo, the community-crowned king of this thread) to change it to something hilarious again.

No can do, I haz no more mod powers.

 

[speed junkie]

So can we get someone else to change it? I think we have enough frequent visitors/contributors of the thread that would not mind/would agree with the change. And if we don't do it now the topic will be forgotten like it did last time with nothing getting done.

Never imagined it would take this long for something so obviously needed.

 

[Glubags]

This is great.

Ah, found an article.

It's all cute and frog-like.

Did he originally crash it?

^Really? I'm about to start letting loose on this place. Some nice photos there btw.



"Mr. Moretti started his automotive accessories company Momo in Verona, Italy, in 1966. That was two years after the champion Formula One driver John Surtees had one of Mr. Moretti’s new steering wheels installed in his Ferrari 158 F1.

Mr. Moretti designed the new steering wheel in his garage. It was smaller in diameter than the ones then in use; the wheel was wrapped in leather rather than made entirely of wood and metal; and it was contoured for better greater control. It was also more stylish and soon became standard in many racing and road cars, including special Ferrari models.

Momo — whose name is an amalgam of “Moretti” and “Monza,” a town north of Milan near a well-known racetrack..."



Only my favorite wheel of all time

I'll be having a 320mm Monte Carlo, spank you very much.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hmmm, not feelin' it...

 

[Keef]

I like it but I'd like to see the rest of those aero parts down low. It looks like it might still be on the stock suspension too. Maybe that's why it looks awkward.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Edited.

 

[Keef]

I like those aero parts. Simple, subtle, but at least the front and side splitters are probably functional. I'd say she's ready to be lowered a bit, and a CF trunklid spoiler, maybe a little bigger than that one.

 

[Dennisch]

That's just..

You know, I wouldn't mind this whole stance thing if people didn't think that 5* of rear camber was a good idea. The E36 is nice....except for the camber.

The Subaru wins.

 

[Keef]

Often, you can't adjust enough camber out of the rears of cars when you lower them that much. The BMW, 240, and 350Z all have rear suspensions that come stock with about 2 degrees negative in the rear, and gain tons of camber when you lower them. The Subaru has McStruts all around which gain very little camber under compression, thus it's not really a problem.

Plus the camber helps you tuck gnarlier wheels.

Also, camber doesn't matter, because he tracks the car at that height, and doesn't remove half the car to do it, and that's more than can be said for most "track cars" out there. Redeemage.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm assuming he doesn't track it with those wheels though.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

That car won't see track, it's far too low.. It's for posing only.

 

[Keef]

I'm not sure what I would do with myself if I was cruising along and drove past this. Holy cow.

I would immediately stop and try not to drool all over the car and driveway
My face would look like this:

I'd politely knock on the door and tell the gentleman that his McLaren was left outside to the elements and that it would be a much better financial decision to let the newer 911 sit outside.

What's further more is that it's one of the early XP models (XP3 iirc).

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

I think this thread is popular mainly due to it being stickied at the very top of probably the second most active section of the site. That being said, here's some hot ****.

I wish F1 cars could look good again

Now that I think about it, I know exactly what I would do. Take a picture on my phone and send it to DeMuro because he hasn't seen one yet!
