Anyone else experienced that the sound dissepears after an engine swap? from the outside i have no sound from the engine at all? But cockpitcam i have enginesound.
Does it have anything to do with that i changed the exhaust?

I had the same problem, if you stick the racing exhaust on the sound should be louder.

I would figure out a better chassis or something to your tires are not going through the fenders. :crazy:

Only way this is possible in the real world *might* be with a full custom tubular front end. A flat-4 won't fit between the chassis rails on a stock Miata. ;)

Edit: Sticking a turbo engine into an N/A car will require the a turbo to be installed for the engine sound to be normal. Swapping in a racing engine requires racing exhaust, etc.

Built for drag, but drives amazingly well on track.
(787B Engine, X2010 Suspension, ASPARADRINK RX-7 Chassis, X2010 Gearbox, 787B LSD)
Around 1400HP

The 787B doesn't have the 20B, just sayin.

You can get a 20B from the ASPARADRINK RX-7 or the Mazda Furai. Sadly none from a street Mazda Cosmo. :(

Cool build though. :)
 
@davpow... I actually really like how those wheels slightly peak out of the car, along with not having much camber... Amazing build 👍
 
Imported from the Art Concept thread...

Edited but still hybrids :sly:

In lieu of all the "hellaflush" drop and camber going on around here I decided it was time to throw my hat in for a moment to present another equally odd car craft of the world... Bosozoku!

Originals are in the photoset HERE...





 
Good editing i guess....but

There is a name for that crap? I can't believe what some people spend money on.... And the cars they are willing to go out in public with.

It just baffles me entirely.

I just call them RICE'rs.... didnt know there is a name for the art of "sticking your exhaust pipes out of the engine as far as you can" :lol:

Yeah same here. I mean i don't know if that is really helaflush or not. But all know is that is as ugly as the huge amount of camber that some people do.
@ smskeeter23
No offense to to you for liking it. I love your paint jobs but with between the huge amount of camber, wings, and exhausts it just ruins it

smskeeter23
No kidding thats what I always thought. I never understood it myself.

Honestly I did these as a joke ;)

Thank god. I would like to see the cars without those three things

Thats the point. I was making fun of that stuff with this genre :lol:

I NEVER said I liked it ;)
 
I think huge amounts of camber is amazing looking compared to whatever that is called. And I HATE a lot of camber.

I like "ricers" more than both of them. And I HATE ricers... 4 cylinders just don't make power.

You may ask...

Chevy (sorry but they built the almighty Vette.
Ferrari
Aston Martin
Mclaren

uhh.. No one else matters.

Guess my opinion is a tad biased :)

I have seen a video on YouTube with that style at some huge show and I just don't get it.

And same here. LowNSlow's 350Zs is as far as I would go on camber.

Have you seen the Silver Celica on YT? Absolutely disgusting amount of camber
 
I pretty much agree with all of you guys ;)

In case you don't know by now I'm a Camaro freak basically. Some imports are ok and I can respect ones that are truly built for performance as it is amazing how much power some are squeezing out of those p'd off bee hives these days but as my sig says "there's no replacement for displacement" gotta have 8cyl to really make me happy 👍

The only place gross amounts of camber or ride heights of less than one inch look good is on a race car. Of course to each his own I guess.

You sir have A LOT to learn then.

And replacement for displacement:

AND that ladies and gentlemen, is an average americans look on the european and japanese car industrie...

And while we're doing this:
EVO IX MR 870+ps @11,000rpm
Impreza WRX STi (65psi GT45R)
+ my buddy's EVO VI RS2, 2,3L Stroker engine build by HKS. about 700whp. Will put up a video soon.

Pretty sure i can find more if i would, just know of theese atm.



However, as many thinks that JDM's cant make torque
The C6 LS2 enigne, at 6.2L pushes a pretty good 507nm
While a standard evo IX GSR, pushes out 400nm.

NOW, keep in mind that the LS2 is 3 TIMES BIGGER than the 4G63. So while you filling your Vette, every 2 mile, JDM drivers will keep the wheels spinning ;)

I like Bozozuku. It's inspiration from old Silhouette Race cars. Like this R31.

Then they make it even crazier. It's all in good fun, and I like it. It's all about seeing how crazy one can make his car.


Oh, and all this 4 and 6 cylinder hate is just plain stupid. Everyone has their own preferences for making power. Don't judge other enthusiasts. Unless it's extreme camber, camber is evil :lol:. Well others like it.
 
^I rmember that car from Gran Turismo 2, wasn't quite the performer though.

And I don't have a pic, but I made a Speed 12 on the 787B chassis, and I have to say that it's a beast. (Chassis idea wasn't mine btw)
