The hybrid showcase thread [Read OP before posting!]

[smskeeter23]

Excuse me for my language, but that Camaro is BADASS! 👍

Thanks :-)

Your not alone, I don't do chasis swaps and I certainly don't those ridiculous toe angle warps ether!

Nope I'm another that doesn't do swaps. Well just one but that was only to get the wheels to fit properly inside the fenders of my drag Camaro. Otherwise I pretty much just stick to real world possible engine swaps ;-)

Speaking of ridiculous camber angles... was that in this thread where I saw somebody say "the Lexus chassis fits perfectly with 3.0 and 2.5 camber"? Um, that is NOT a "perfect fit". 0° and flush is a "perfect fit".

Something new I have been toying with.

Also this was all done in the one session.*

Rear lifted.

Front Dropped.

Fully Dropped.

Fully Lifted.

Right down.

Wasn't ment to happen.

FWD pickup bwahaha!

Its actually RWD still.

Ya I know, just looks like it in the first pic ;-)

The joys of running no ABS and all the brake bias to the front.

Anyone know what chassis he uses? Maybe RUF yellowbird? 10cm wider

Dont know if pic has been shown here before, anywho, epic MX5

I think I saw somewhere he's using the TC chassis, or the NC chassis.


Current crop of lightweight, high revving, 4x4 pocket rocket hillclimbers.

GSXR/4 chassis, box and engine, Audi R8 drivetrain & LSD, and a C3 body.
I need either a wider body, or a narrower chassis, it's a WIP

In a similar vein, it's also 4x4 (RUF RGT '00) but relies on forced induction rather than high revs to make power.

This 500 is very much rear biased, it just requires a sniff of a corner to go sideways!

Hard to improve on this, so I just put an AMG V8 in for extra muscle…

Panda body and chassis, kei car 4x4, EK Spoon Civic power!

Another Kei 4x4 transplant, this also has a 9k redline!

Slamba. Because everyone needs a 700 bhp bus…

I don't remember. If the chasis don't fit perfectly, I don't like it, I mean having the wheels sticking 4 feet away from the vehicle? Doesn't look right from my point of view.

Alot cars I see, people like to warp the wheels at insane angles were they are not even standing up straight. Why are people so obsessed with doing that?

My latest recipe.

Dropped a turbo-charged Honda Fireblade engine into the bay, lowered on custom CE28Ns, and finished off with an attention-grabbing metallic green paint job.​

Curious what "car" you got that Fireblade engine from...

The Caterham?

 

[Nismo34]

The Caterham?

Yea, the Caterham Fireblade 7... Pretty sure the name would give it away...

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Indeed it is the Caterham Seven Fireblade, which is powered by a Honda Fireblade motorcycle engine. Originally I was going to throw in a V-TEC from the '97 EK9, but I decided to go with the Fireblade engine, as the N360 is already a very light car. With no upgrades, this N360 chugs it's way past 135MPH. A very fun car to drive indeed. 👍

Miata TC 👍

Thanks, will edit my today, came out too small using yellowbird.

On the other hand, what chassis will work with R33? Mind became way too wide

TRIAL / TRD Celica

[Trybal]

Guess that car eluded my mind, as I actually own a Fireblade. Might have to swap out the GSX-R to upset some people

A really lovely shot, krysalis. What I like most about this one is the toning and lighting. 👍

TRIAL / TRD Celica

Thanks, i'm gonna add this to the paintable cars list now 👍

 

[driftinziggy]

It's the TRD Celica with TRIAL engine/chassis /gearbox

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

My pride and joy, a 1969 Camaro Z28 with a MASSIVE 8.1 liter aluminum-block Chevy V8 (from the Chapparal 2J). Detuned slightly and fitted with a supercharger. The end result is a tire-melting 539HP, a whopping 633 ft-lbs of torque, and an overall top speed of 166MPH (stock 4-speed gearbox). The idle sound is GODLY...and slightly intimidating. Sure all of those 3 rotors go "wub wub wub wub", but this thing let's you know that under that hood is an infuriated wild beast ready to lunge out and attack anyone who even touches that gas pedal. If you've got a sweet sound system, crank up the volume and listen to the ear-gasmic sound of this untamed brute. Even the neighbors will run to the hills!

Anyway enough stalling, here she is!:

Air'd out son. 8C engine and drivetrain with Corvette LSD. Chassis is stock.
