As much as I loathe Audi as a company, they are the ones to beat. And if this can beat Audi, it will probably win. But, I have a feeling it's going to self destruct.

I did not clue into the weight restriction. I was oblivious to that fact. 880kg is fairly light for an on demand awd system. I still think the layout is ill conceived though, and has too much to do with the marketing departments demands for GTR parallels than winning races IMHO.

perhaps I wasn't communicating my point well. I'm not saying that high performance engines, induction systems, suspension geometries, and the aero dynamics used are not very complex. There is a reason why teams spend millions on R&D costs. But the layout of how those systems are put together makes a lot of sense from

the new regulations haven't allowed them to go with a relatively straight forwards approach, compared to older cars. But this one is the definition of monkey motion to get power to the ground. I'm sure there is calculations that have proved this decision, but it seems to be a little bit nonsensical looking in from the

touché, but I have my reasons. The rotary would drop the center of gravity significantly, and bring back the polar moment so that it will turn in like a mid engined car. Fuel milage, and reliability not so much. :)

This car makes no sense what so ever to me. It seems like a lot of complexity just so that Nissan can be unique. They forgot the KISS method of engineering which, in my humble opinion, is the best if you want a complex machine to survive 24 hours straight if some of the most demanding conditions possible. More

the problem with mine is that the previous owners didn't care and treated it like a rusty corolla (only 2/4 tires matched brands and size). I knew I was getting into a money pit though, but I got the car for a really good price. I'm just getting tired of putting money into it without being able to drive it lol. It's

Well, suspension is almost done now, with hsd coilovers, and all new bushings, but every single thing that could need doing on the suspension, had to be done. I think bmw engineers purposely design the cars to disintegrate at a certain milage.

Alu is not that tricky, just requires a slightly different set up. Argon, an aluminum exclusive gun and the right wire is all you need, with an ac current. If you feel fancy, play with square wave.

Those specs are what you expect for that kind of thing so I'm not really shocked at all. Square wave is there to clean up the oxide, which melts at a much higher temp than the aluminum, and argon is common as far as welding gasses go. The wire spec is a little nit picky though.

you can mig weld aluminum. Hell, even my $700 lincoln easy mig can attach an aluminum gun, and I just need a tank of argon before I go to town. Other than a faster fill rate, and a harder to see bead, aluminum is not all that much more difficult than steel, especially with a good machine that can do square wave.

sorry, that looks like a 2015 mazda 6 and a Mercedes C class did the dirty, and had a baby

I get what your saying, but I have to disagree. The world is small, and after the fighting is done, Your enemy is no longer your enemy. You don't want the next generation, seeing their fathers struggle, day to day, chocking on their mustard gassed lungs. That only will lead to war again. The Middle East is a perfect

Brutalized hahaha

Nice B8 m8, I r8 8/8, don't h8 just masterb8, it's a healthy tr8.

I'm a little suprised it didn't start off with "A Florida man..."

it was an insta crack pipe for me. Audi + engine swap is the opposite of sanity
