Meh. That’s a lot of effort for the power and a lot of questionable style choices. I’ll take my buddy’s mostly stock appearing LS powered FD over that any day. The LS car makes a lot more power to boot.

Being turbo obsessed means premium fuel or corn gas for me.

Why would it matter? If I had English wheel skills and too much free time, I could scratch build a 911. What’s the difference from a registration standpoint? You simply can’t register it AS a Porsche, that’s all.

Not sure where you live, but in Indiana that is 100% untrue. You need some specific information from a constructor, like Factory Five for example, or inspection and approval, but I can build a car in my garage from tubing and insure and plate it.

That is the “back glass”.

That’s not true. Much of the stuff in aerospace is crimped. All the Mil-spec stuff uses ratcheting crimpers, I know, I have a set of of them (and they’re $$$). They also do all kinds of fancy stress relief and vibration damping.

That said, I actually build mil-spec style automotive harnesses and I solder regularly, I…

Second turbo up-pipe (which actually goes down) in place. I don’t know why Kinja turned my picture sideways.

Edit: Nevermind, Kinja de-Kinja-d itself.

My 1965 Mustang. Twin turbo Coyote with a 6 speed, modern suspension, 6 piston brakes, etc. There will be another turbo in place tomorrow.

Yes! Reynolds, that’s who it was. Ah it was hilarious. He’s funny anyway, but I was rolling when Clarkson made that comment. That kind of stuff is why I miss OG Top Gear.

One of my favorite bits on Top Gear (real Top Gear) was Clarkson interviewing (I think) LeBlanc and who said “Oh yeah, you guys say it ‘Jag-U-Ar’” to which Clarkson replied “Yes, because that’s how it’s spelled”.

My wife looked at me funny 30 seconds into my fit of laughter.

But, what if you fit a tiny, tiny turbocharger to it? I mean, if you’re gong to die a horrible tiny vehicular death should it not be with as much speed and (lack of) style as possible?

Should NOT have: Plastic bumpers?

I’m disagreeing if what the article says is correct. If the law treats a classic car differently only because it’s classic, that’s an issue.

It does matter. Per that law, if I daily drive a 2013 Mustang GT, I can park it in my driveway. If I daily drive a 1965 Mustang GT, I cannot.

Had something similar happen to a guy on my forum. Had a custom turbo kit built (for an RX7 ironically) and shipped it UPS, partially insured. It was lost and turned up in eBay with an oddly specific description (how would a random buyer of lost packages know it was for a turbo Ls1 RX7??). He bought it from the eBay…

My problem with this isn’t the people blocking, it’s the people abusing it. If you follow the “everyone lets one car over” concept, or the “hey, an open space, let me slide in” it is fine. The issue is no one does. They all fly into the merge at 2-3x the speed of the “slow lane” and try to jam in.

That, uh, seems like a bad thing to have happen.

Growing up in a racing family, I can say confidently that this man was a “racer’s racer” and that’s a compliment of the highest form. It’s a loss to the racing community, but to try and be positive about it, he certainly went out doing what he loved, and doing it well. I suppose in the end that’s all any of us can ask…

I would do sex things IN the car, assuming someone put seat covers in. I don’t want to get anything on the amazing upholstery!

Yes, yes, yes, yes! WANT.

Seriously, if it wasn’t so dang expensive to do still, I’d be putting a setup like this in my ‘65 Mustang instead of a twin turbo Coyote. Unfortunately the math on this came out 2-3x the price, EASY for ~350 RWHP and a lot of weight. Hopefully in 10-15 years that will change and it’ll be time…
