You can reasonably-expect six years of trouble-free service from fresh lines on a car that has the reliability mods but is otherwise stock.

The Bathurst and RZ models were a part of the Series 7 (1996-1998), The Spirit R was at the end of Series 8 (2002). The Series 6 models like we already had will be available to us, albeit in RHD form. For Japan, the Series 6 was available from 1992 to 1995.

Market value isn’t likelt to shift much as we have the…

I share your sentiment, mostly, though for 8-10K less I’d take this one with no complaints. No matter the mileage or life, it is assume that the suspension, fluids,vacuum lines, coolant and oil lines,and bushings will all necessitate replacement. This unfortunately is not an ‘arrive and drive’ car as the price would…

My relationship with an FD RX-7 lasted seven years and about as many have passed since we parted ways. While there are a lot of lessons, stories, experiences, days of love, and nights of loathing to be shared from this period in my life; none are as important for the well-being of RX7’s everywhere than this one. Mazda…

That KdF-Wagen is best ‘wagen.

That is one of the prettiest things I never knew existed! It lovingly reminds me of the Volvo C70 and Nissan Silvia (S15).

My most-irresponsible act at the the ripe age of 17, which subsequently kept me from making the stereotypical irresponsible acts of your average 17 year old. What followed was eight years of life experiences, both loving and loathing, and an emptiness upon its departure that I’ve yet to properly fill.

The interior is actually pretty-fantastic, especially those seats, with one exception being the GM-era SAAB dash design. I still have a fondness for the early 2000’s S60R dash.

That sound is incredible though; if you told me to listen but didn’t show me what car it was, I’d be inclinded to say it were a…

Motorcycles are about the cheapest way for an individual to enjoy ITB’s from the factory. Unfortunately I don’t have a great video of my old Speed Triple, but the Honda CBR600’s with over-trumpet secondary injection is an honorable mention. They are a symbol of obtainable perfection.

Jason, our music and compact car fascinations are well-aligned. I’m beginning to worry that I may be The Torch’s Southern-Cousin.

With two turbos and a sport exhaust, because Rapheal Orlove doesn’t understand. :)

This feels ignorantly judgmental.

The exhaust sounds that way because it is essentially a straight-through design; very similar to the factory system offered on 335i’s since 2007. Sure it has a set of turbos, a set of catalytic converters, and a sizeable muffler; but it is still a short and relatively open system.…

Bought the Special Edition DVD when I was 17 and haven’t looked back. The original form is often the best form in film — capturing artistic vision before the complication of business decision-making.

Any one else giggle every time they see the frantic flag waver swiftly followed by a rocket-propelled Holden at the end…

Hey guys!

The Corvette is playing the game with a 7-speed manual trans-axle as well.

Virginia is for lovers, not drivers. :(

It’d be possible to make such a mechanism as illustrated in the films a reality without too much engineering. After all, Mercedes accomplished this same, albeit automated functionality with a magnetic clutch on their supercharger drive for cruise/low-RPM conditions, improving fuel efficiency. Most Eaton ’chargers (if…

I agree, you should be highly critical of the options sheet. 300bhp twin-turbo engine? Yes! Sport package that adds highly-bolstered seats? Yes! Navigation package that makes your dash look like two Sperm Whales filming the sequel to Human Centipede? No....

A friend of mine made one such solution for his bike, worked well He had the fob sewn into the sleeve of his riding jacket.

I don’t see it; this looks more like a scenario of the background (sloped road grade) creating a visual trick.

That said, I suppose I could go measure mine to be sure.
