I forgot where I saw it online but it was a while ago. Kid swapped a Honda K12 or h22 engine of some kind (I believe) into a classic mini. While not over the top ridiculous that’s a hell of a lot more power than that mini had before. It’s kind of ridiculous when you think about it.

Oh man, I wonder if a wonder if the V10 Triton would fit in this.

what was the power it put out? and that makes total sense for a power boat. Would still love to see it in a car tho. vroom!

That’s amazing! did it actually work?

Even less than then, more so if you Insist that it both runs and is in good condition. How ever, having said that you obviously know what your missing and if I say found one would you buy it??

I don’t care what any one else says, I still say you need to buy a 1994 Dodge spirt R/T. that being said it’s really cool to see the data break down here and I’m excited to see what you do end up with.

I had a serious car crush on these things back in the day, but no one else ever seems to have heard of them. That is what would make Doug having to live with one all that more interesting.

but it’s not! the TC 2.2lt engine was a stand alone customer variant of the type 2! It like the Spirit R/T’s ran a custom DOHC 16v head, though not the same heads. The TC’s was not lotus sourced. Also the TC ran a hopped up cam! Also sooo much pleather!

whoa son, I don’t think you know of which you speak. That’s a Dodge Spirit R/T! with a type 3 turbo 2.2lt. which had DOHC heads built and designed by lotus with intercooling! laid down 224hp and 217 lb-ft. Faster 0-60 times than same year m5! brah, it’d dont get more jalop than these things...

wrong! It was not the same ol’ northstar! actually less advance than what one would be called the same ol’ northstar of same vintage. it has a smaller block, variable valve timing and a super charger. previous northstar had no vvt and was 4.8LT, current gen at time of STS had CVVT (continuous varible valve timing) and…

I’ll level with you all. I didn’t know that this Cadillac STS-V existed before I wrote this article. After the abysmal front wheel drive Northstar V8 version of the STS, I swore off that particular car forever. However, with my love for well-appointed luxury sedans with ridiculous amounts of power, I may have to give…

IF i had the money to burn and space to waste, NP!

whoa there buster,, make that a z34 and sign me up!

Of course they fucked this up. even while 160hp and 184 ft-lb are impressive numbers the dart is not light on it’s feet as is add to the fact that you’ll have to really ring that little 1.4 to get it moving. Which is what makes it so fun in a light weight ride like the 500 Abarth, but makes little to no sense in a…

No, this is fine. The hand crank is still a manual semi automatic firing mechanism. If he used a motor to fire the gun that would be illegal. The hand crank isn’t even custome they sell them at cabelas. I have one for my 10/22 I never use any more.

and dual fuel pump, dual fuel injection system, dual... well you get the point...

My buddy picked up a old kawasaki 400 in need of love. we spent weeks bringing it back to life. I have never ridden a motorcycle at this point and wanted to learn so in the parking lot of his apartment I was scooting around on it to get a feel for being on the thing. Now when I say scooting around I literally mean…

I’ve driven plenty of older cars and plenty of newer cars. I don’t think I agree with you at all. I dislike driving older cars for what they lack more than what they have. I’m not talking aux inputs, touch screens, powerful 12 speaker stereo’s or digital gauges. I’m talking about 4 wheel anti-lock disc breaks, power…
