Can anyone in this thread please explain to be what Gatebil is in a coherent manner? Places like Speedhunters have a difficult time describing what the event actually is, or what it could be compared to.

I kind of get the idea that it's just some kind of automotive free-for-all festival where people do some laps sideways and then there's this kind of party scene surrounding the track for a couple days.

Thanks, and for the help:

The best I got
http://translate.google.com/transla...=http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatebil&act=url
What I got from it is that it probably means modified street car and it's pretty much an event celebrating car culture and a plce where people take their cars to have fun in an organized disorganization.
I could also just tell you "because gatebil" and show you this
 
That looks like a spin.
LOL. This is a big roundabout and the surface is awful. You have to slide around the outside near the curb to avoid the super rough patch you can see on the right side of the pic, and then you square it off and aim for the inside curb at the bottom left of the pic to avoid another rough patch on the outside. I'm coming more toward the camera than it probably seems. 2nd gear. It's pretty slow.

It's a shame they didn't widen the front fenders enough so the front wheels fit remotely in them.
 
They should sell them all like this:

Here's the theory. These eco-cars should all come with very light and decently wide performance wheels and tires (as pictured) and somewhat stiff sports suspension, that way they can use Keef's special tactic to achieve better than expected city fuel mileage. The trick? Don't slow down for anything. :lol:

Seriously though. If you never slow down for corners then you never have to use extra fuel to speed back up. GENIUS.
 




Some people don't like the way rotary engines look, and I tend to think that piston engines are nicer looking. But this one is just gorgeous.
 
Rotary engines don't look like engines. Factory ones look like intake manifolds. :lol:

Lately I sort of have started to like how the 2nd gen sc looks (I used to absolutely hate it)

Anyone got some nice pics of 2nd gen Lex ISs?

The factory wheel treatment lends to their used-bar-of-soap look but some lowering and decent fitment actually makes them look somewhat athletic.
 
They've been doing that specific overlay for a while now.
My Sti is without, and will stay without, any kind of overlay (not even yellow fogs). :lol: :sly: 👍
 
I'd say the yellow RX7 is the winner compared to the Impreza... It's a gorgeous car.

That 964 on the other hand... Questionable mods thread as far and I'm concerned. A modified Porsche like that with no spoiler is silly and if driven the way it's built to be driven it could be very dangerous as well.

I wouldn't say it's questionable, just different. I will agree that a spoiler completes the look of a classic 911. It's either that or we're too used to seeing them with spoilers and one without a spoiler looks odd.
 
Forget the look, I'm just thinking about 100+ mph in that Porsche and saying to myself "forget that"! :lol:

Danger is the first concern on that one, regarding the appearance- its slick, I like it. 👍

But at the speeds a Porsche like that might see I'd be very skeptical about stability. :indiff:

Anyone remember the problems with this car?

Let me refresh your memory. :sly:
http://www.nytimes.com/2000/02/20/automobiles/audi-offers-tt-fix-after-5-deaths.html

True, this had AWD and the engine was in the front but I don't think either of those facts helps my confidence about a monster Porsche with no spoiler. :lol:
 

Sod the huge wide-arched Porsches - clean and original is where it's at.

That's a tactic I can get behind :D

Do this all the time.

Anyways, I haven't posted in a while so you all know what that means...
