hippynerd posted:I have both (widebody, and flatty), and i prefer flattys. With modz, the performance can be equal, correct? Though, as much as I would like to believe otherwise, I am not very likely to modify a car much outside of reliability issues so stock performance is an issue. Hopefully that will change this summer after I put my truck back together. Let's be honest though, any starquest will require some major modifications to be a really hot performing car. I confess, I just like the way it looks. You live in eugene, ya? What is it that you like about the flattys?

prettymuch any parts from a flatty can be put on a widebody car and vice versa, The earlier year cars have 4 lug wheels, later years have 5 lug. Later years also have the widebody style, and those cars came with wider wheels (either 7" front/8" rear, or the 88/89's came with 8" front 9" rear. Flattys have 6" wheels. Not all starions came with LSD, but all can be retro-fitted with one. The engines are exactly the same in all cars, 83's have 850cc alternating injectors, while newer models have a primary/secondary, 88/89's have bigger injectors, but you need the 88/89 ECU to run them. 86 ECU's can be modded to change the boost limit from 7psi to 10 (I still havnt gotten around to trying this). The difference between flattys and widebodies is prettymuch just the wheels and fenders. Now if you want to talk about mods, there are tons of them out there, but Megasquirt + MPI + Big honkin turbo seem to be what push these cars into the 400hp range. I currently own both a widebody, and a flatty, I can show you anything you want on them, but both are down for repairs at the moment  I like my cars stock I even have stock radios. hippynerd fucked around with this message at 09:41 on Jun 11, 2009 |

Not all starions came with LSD, but all can be retro-fitted with one. I used to know a whole family of starquest owners, I know a little about them already. I thought that the boost was controlled manually? The difference is also that you would have to do more than a little modification to the flatty to bring it near the spec of the last of the widebodies. The flatty engines made less power, right? To me its like saying the the camaro ss is the same as the rs. Funny enough, the radio would be the only thing that I feel comfortable about upgrading. I would lose those sweet-rear end steering wheel controls. I get down to eugene every once in a while, I'll let you know next time to see if you are available.

Uthor posted:*I don't know anything about racing* Seeing as the track is about half as wide and your average speed is about 160mph? I would say its roughly 3 hundred billion times harder to learn. Edit: McGuiness runs about 130mph average. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT pretty good read on the history. Puddin fucked around with this message at 06:59 on Jun 16, 2009 |

Have to include this as well, old school Isle of Man with Joey Dunlop. Smoother video than the first one. Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbMO9U7COJo Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4li4dJguAuQ Strangely relaxed commentary compared to Martin. "It's not so bad...you just have to be careful" "We have hospitals where I come from for people like that"

It's possible, but I have no idea... the people at DC are in control of the content now. Ken did have us put out the blooper reel/bonus edit after the first one, so I don't see why he wouldn't.

Holy loving poo poo I have never seen a car decelerate like that. Going from full-on NASCAR speeds to 0 in a split second is very unforgiving on squishy internal organs.

I've seen a bunch of those "hey we've got ~3 things that go varying levels of fastness, lets watch the fastest catch up right before the finish line," but something about that was especially awesome.
