Sweet. Had an 89 coupe in Baltic Blue metallic. Swapped that for the current toy car.
Oh fuck, I’m not ashamed at all that I have a boner. I love Porsche’s so much. The nicest Porsche I’ll probably ever get to own is a Cayenne diesel though

I'm sitting on the awd parts to swap. 95 eclipse gst. Just haven't had the time.
Eclipse, the Talon’s parent car
Or a giant diesel pickup, or shiny over-priced classic, or the latest and greatest horsepower war winner, or euro-trash track car
Try the 3000GT VR4. I've got all the things to rebuild one since my son wrecked his. Everything, engine, trans, rear steering assembly. I've been saving them for 6 years now. I'm thinking about selling everything.
What year 3000GT?
2018
Dodge Charger Hellcat
2008
BMW K1200S - About 190 hp to the ground.

The 90's Era mitsubishi eclipses and eagle talons are bringing a premium now adays. They are starting to be very hard to find a clean example.
I do call mine the small penis mobile from time to time, just to play to the stereotype.
I'm just having fun as I like air cooled 80s whale tail model. Anything after 94 you can keep (yes I know all about the unobtainium 95) ha
You do realize that your tires are on backwards right?
They have an arrow showing which way the spin on the sidewall
LOL
I really liked my 89 too. But a/c sucked in those things and that wasn't an option when I lived in Richmond, VA. Gratuitous photo of previous car.
great color!
Let me guess, you are going to say I missing fenders, headlights and a hood next? Better make sure the tires are rolling in the right direction so I can push the car around the shop and on and off trailers. lol... Wheels and tires are getting changed anyway
My daily driver is a 2000 Tacoma 4wd with 350K miles on it. Wife drives a 2021 Corolla XSE.
Wife and I purchased our first Vette 5 months ago as a celebration for paying off our mortgage.
2011 Grand Sport with 14K miles. M6 trans.

I miss my vette some days, but I feel like the 392 Daytona Charger was more “athletic” if that makes sense. I bought a 2011 C6 off the showroom floor and had fun with it.
A guy I work with is a complete homer for old air-cooled vw shit. I think it’s kinda cool but i definitely don’t go full retard for it

I got this one for a steal, even if I had to drive from NC to MO to get it. I rebuilt it last year with bigger pistons, small cam and pertronix flame thrower ignition system and wires
My car is a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew with the e-85 engine. Just turned 197,000+ miles. They add up fast when everything is an hour away the way things are here in SE AZ.

Jeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzus kreiest, now my picture is all over the pubic internetI think I found the owner of that thing.........
Actually he’s right, check it on the tires manufacture website if you have to.
that tread pattern was designed to wick water out of the way of the contact patch
moving in a particular direction. In the direction you have it in, I wouldn’t want to drive those in heavy rain. No shit, he’s not fucking with you.
The front two are definitely backwards. Switch sides and you’ll be good. But if your changing them anyway, if you get a directional tire, just look for the arrow.

Do you think that someone building a machine like that doesn't know what direction that the tires go on?
I am glad I didn't post any of the pictures of my car with a bias ply, a retread and a couple radials on it while it was being built.
He's got an 02E motor in it also!

Funny. I guess the pic got inverted somewhere along the line and I never noticed it. Lol
I wonder what these guys would do if they knew there was only three lug nuts holding that wheel on too...
I was just trying to help out, Understand if it’s just throwing something on to wheel it around the shop, I’ve had all kinda shits on there for that. and it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t know, but I know more than a few car guys that can build a hell of a motor and
Do electronics, wiring, interiors etc, that didnt know about directional tires simply because they weren’t paying attention. I know of one personally that got embarrassed
right before he went to his first Goodyear school.
Anyway, nice build ya got going on SFLS. Did you install your mini tubs?
What width rim you Going to squeeze in?

Ever noticed the tread on motorcycle tires and the tread direction front compared to back tires?
Yep, weird ain’t it.
You monster! You obviously want everyone’s grandmother to die
Didn't do the mini tubs. I happen to be in a circle of professional fabricators. Someone who has done it 5 or 6 times will always do it better and quicker than I ever could dream of.
I'm kinda stuck between going for that pro touring look with 18x11.5 315/35 rear and 18x7 maybe a 255/30 up front or throwing a 15" wheel on the back with a 325/50 big drag radial. Leaning towards the big drag radial.
Any truck bed camper will be 100% more comfortable in a 1-ton truck. Tundra doesn't have the suspension stock, and neither does a 1500 Dodge.
For what it's worth my 3500 gets 6mpg towing 10-12k enclosed, and anything in the bed basically never changes the mileage. Gas mileage unloaded is 12-15mpg. This is a 275000 mile 6.0 gasser Chevy, so it's well broken in
Drags for the track and maybe some slower burnout cruises, the 315/35s for everything else.
I’m outta the car and bike thing now, I want a mini tubbed 69 Stang bad, but I gotta save for the kid and his college so I’ll just keep Looking at all the awesome rides.
What are your IAT's with the intercooler?
Wondering why the effort, since the biggest reason to run meth is the intake charge cooling.

my adult children now have 5 of my custom Victory motorcycle; I have owned over 40 bikes since 12 years old…HD, Bridgestone, Suzuki, Honda, Hodaka, BSA, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Victory etc. I figure after a million miles of not killing myself or anyone else on 2 wheels it was time to stay in a cage…
