Man a 4k redline -- trying to think of what other non-diesel engines have such a low limit? Hell of a stump puller cam in there

That shifter is...unique.

While this hasn’t been totally completely hacked up, there is still a lot of jankiness. Wheels, exhaust, intake all aftermarket (easy to replace, if you can find originals), but under the hood those Tein, Injen, Mugen,Venom stickers...I think this thing has seen some shit.

I love these stupid things and would love to get one myself, if to mod and make more ridiculous. For 33k though? No way. 

As someone who has DD’d a kappa for 8 years, it’s really not so bad. Top takes 5 seconds to put up or down, space is fine for a small roadster, if a bit awkward shaped. Realistically anything you want to fit in the trunk is fine, aside from large solid luggage or something.

Even a built 2.4 would hit that pretty easily and cost way less

Glad to read a Rob article today.

Responding relevantly to someone else’s comment on the last post**

Bradley’s takes tend to be shitty, so GMG might have the edge here.

A V8 WK2 Grand Cherokee has 360hp/390ftlbs of torque which is getting pretty close to the TBSS. The SRT8s still command a lot of money because racecar, but your run of the mill 5.7L hemi is no slouch, even if it lacks the visual fun of the SS or SRT. For 17k I’d be a lot more inclined to pick one of those up vs this…

Yeah this site has gone to absolute shit. But in Rory’s words, we should “grow up” about it (by which I assume he means not endorsing the business he appears to be running into the ground more).

Is Jalopnik actually actively TRYING to lose readers or what? I literally only come to this site for Rob’s morning post now (thanks to Torch and Tracy leaving, and Rory acting like a baby in the comments...not a good look). This is what we’re greeted with.

As a bonus, the glue used to keep that plastic shell together gets tacky and separates in...you guessed it, heat. Coincidentally, and apparently right at the temperature a car gets in the sun, in the summertime. I went through 3x sunvisors in my rx8 (and eventually just took the passenger side out, because the bottom…

Counterpoint, this is an excellent chassis and car. When the Renesis (inevitably pretty much) goes bad, most of these are sent to the scrapyard. The 13B is not a super cheap engine these days, and the Renesis is also not easy to rebuild. My money/time would go to an ecotec 4cyl or similar. I’d rather see these on the…

A primered project car with motor issues. I know Porsches have skyrocketed but ah...not this one.

That was an epically bad take, and those takes seem to be the only reason Erin is here.

Ah yes, a “site for us” that is consistently broken, and many content writers who just appear lazy and/or don’t give a shit. 

regardless, driving like he’s in fuckin IDDQD mode

I appreciate that the car in the title image has really shitty panel gaps.

Is it me or is removing an intake manifold not really that big of a deal to do a 50k-interval job like sparkplugs? Intake tubing is usually just a series of hose clamps, the filter housing, and MAF/MAP sensor, and breather hose.
