ACEofsnett posted:http://www.auctionsamerica.com/events/all-lots.cfm?SaleCode=TB12 Eclectic seems just the tip of the iceberg. I see what look like cherry Pulsar GTI-Rs and cars from the 20s and ratted out maseratis and ferraris. And I'm confused, are those Skylines road legal or did this guy just buy them to sit in a field?

Is that a Maserati? A Urraco? I can't imagine it's a great idea for a project. Then again, you could be like this guy: http://www.lamborghini-talk.com/vbforum/f41/2013-lp420-svm-urraco-19263/ I guess I should add a picture of some kind. Doc's Chops turned this:  into this:  I think that's cool.

He's clearly a racecar driver and that cone is clearly his helmet. I see a snell certification sticker on it.

Paul Boz_ posted:What's common between the two other than the engine? looks like the swingarm, rear brake, possibly some other components, possibly some frame parts though they may be modified, umm... headers? Wiring harness? There isn't much to either of them to begin with, so change a couple of things and you do end up with a significantly different looking bike.

MiniFoo posted:http://www.auctionsamerica.com/events/feature-lots.cfm?SaleCode=TB12&ID=r168&Order=runorder&feature=grouping= That one is just a BG-chassis GTX. There were at least three 323 GTRs in the collection, all of which need to be in my garage right-loving-now. Edit: Easiest way to spot a GTR over a GTX (other than the bumper with giant round fog lights and the hood vents) is that the GTR has 5-lug hubs instead of the 4-lug hubs like every other BG out there.

Kind of hard to feather the clutch out while giving it gas when you have to use at least one foot to stand up... With just about no extra weight, you can start it by just feathering out the clutch pedal, then switch feet to gas and float the rest of the gears.

The seats look like hemoroid donuts. Is the spare tire a solid rubber tire or an uninflated donut?

kimbo305 posted:Old school collapsible spare. Had one of those in my old '79 Chevy Monza. Came with a little canister of CO2 or nitrogen to air it up. Actually used it once. The tough part is getting it back to it's collapsed state, and refilling the inflating canister... I imagine that's part of why they went away. Even though it was full size when inflated, it was still speed-limited (due to the soft sidewalls, I'd guess.)

Well, drive them on the street. They could be used for racing purposes. Also, I am so goddamn tempted to bid on one of those Familia GT-Rs. I don't give a gently caress if it has a roll cage, just GIVE IT TO ME. [edit] One of them has km/h on the speedo and the "Real Time AWD" trim, but 323 on the back and is LHD.
